Phew what a week! In the grip of a heatwave the painting suffered. The heat hit us hard and paint was drying on the wet pallet as fast as we could wet it. We battled through and progress was made. We had hoped to finish the box this week but alas no. Never mind, maybe we can celebrate next week.

The ancient pushed the wife’s skills to the limit but she rose to challenge wonderfully.

The Bannernob pushed my patience to the limit. When I began it looked like an open enough pose but, my oh my, there were so many hard-to-reach nooks and crannies. Then again perhaps the heat was just getting to me.

Oh the end must be in sight, here come the big boys. Again the wife, who has pinched all the Space Marines you’ll notice, did a grand job. Thank you darling!

More nooks and crannies. If I had any hair I’d have pulled it all out by now.

So there is a Bigboss, Big Mek DakkaRig and a Landspeeder still to go. Let’s do  it!
