Our ringleader was mad as a box of frogs and armed us with antique Spencer rifles and a 2pdr replica cannon. Madness.<br />Love your story about the theatre.

The secret seems to be to dilute the paint a tiny bit so it follows a smooth line, but not too much so it doesn't just run. Phew!Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-89078805673826232302021-07-27T10:56:58.057-07:002021-07-27T10:56:58.057-07:00Cheers, and watch this space!Cheers, and watch this space!Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-62320364533764046832021-07-27T10:56:41.290-07:002021-07-27T10:56:41.290-07:00Thanks mate.

Didn't have our Scarlet's yet being in prep year at St. Jean so we were in the dark blue #4 dating back to the Boer War I'm sure (with field service cap (wedgie) on we fit right into the old photos). Anyway, not very stylish for 1972 and before the show and during breaks, I'm not sure if there were more requests for directions to seats, bathrooms, exits etc? or cracks about monkeys and organ grinders. <br /><br />However, in the 1860's, the infantry pillboxes weren't stiffened and sat on top of the head and look fairly comfy in photos. Trust the cavalry and the staff to stiffen them!Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-31520995473254672202021-07-26T09:09:04.437-07:002021-07-26T09:09:04.437-07:00Great work there and it reminds me that I have som...Great work there and it reminds me that I have some figures for this campaign, but when they will see paint, God only knows!Steve J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12143308117853983963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-72403973587393108892021-07-26T08:23:58.566-07:002021-07-26T08:23:58.566-07:00like these very much Mike.
