I don't know about anybody else but I still get a thrill watching the postman delivering mail when I am awaiting a package - will he have something for me ?! - or will he walk by - or worse get my expectation up and only deliver junk mail or even worse a bill !!! . This morning however he delivered a parcel I had been awaiting off EBay , the above hollowcast Britains (?) 54mm cavalry figures. Slightly damaged but repairable I think and quite cheap too . I may repaint them as 'The Blues and Royals' . ( note to self have just notice the evidence of green paint on the windowsile in this photo - caused by placing still wet based figures on said windowsile - MUST remove paint before my better half notices it ! - she has commented on the smearing of wargaming paint on household furniture before !)

ReplyDeleteI tend to get most of my figures delivered to work, to avoid questions being asked in the house! But yes... it is exciting to get new figures (perhaps I should get out more). Can you let me know what brand of yacht varnish you use to get that really shiny finish? I have tried one pot which left a bit to be desired.

Picked up my latest tin of yacht varnish at Boyes (U.K. chain store) it's Johnstones Yacht Varnish - Clear - Gloss Finish . I tend only to buy the small 250ml tins as the constant opening /reopening causes it to skin over .
ReplyDeleteThe pleasure in a parcel being delivered never gets old.
