I have to say I’m really looking forward to the Pa as it starts to unfold, as I’m definitely keen to have a go myself at some point. As for the forces meeting up, you may well be right, distance been the stumbling block, but never say never. A small lottery win could see us embarking on the holiday of a lifetime, me with a small packet of 28mm miniatures smuggled into the luggage just in case! ;)Michael Awdryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049982879661559305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1670400813396652991.post-32107508053548218542012-06-25T12:27:32.306+01:002012-06-25T12:27:32.306+01:00Sorry Pat, for the tardy response; the mixture sta...Sorry Pat, for the tardy response; the mixture started with Vallejo Red leather as a base then Foundry 'Flesh Shade' was added before a final highlight with Vallejo ' Rose Brown '.

So I've only just stumbled across your latest NZ Wars work today. <br /><br />As usual, your paint-jobs are superb. I envy your skill in reproducing those moko designs - the tattoos on my figures are no-where as delicately done as your ones. <br /><br />Yes, I am working on my pa, but apart from the two walls described on my 'Dressing the Lines' blog, so far it is all just planning in my head!<br /><br />Would've been terrific if your guys and mine could meet on the tabletop - but distance makes that just too much of a challenge!<br /><br />* We were choosing between Nelson and Wanganui for our weekend away. I particularly liked the idea of Wanganui, as we would have stayed in a hotel called the Rutland Arms (yes, named directly after the 58th!). In the end we went to Nelson, though maybe having our room invaded by a huge column of ants last night might have been retribution from the boys of the Rutlandshire Regt of Foot for not choosing their hotel!Rolyhttp://arteis.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1670400813396652991.post-51041734819380670622012-06-24T00:57:35.404+01:002012-06-24T00:57:35.404+01:00Catching up a bit on your blog today... another g...Catching up a bit on your blog today... another group of lovely figs painted by you.
