Dearly beloved, loyal followers, dare I say friends? We need your help! All is well, in fact both James and I have been very busy producing some of our best work to date, but time is getting away from us and we simply haven't had the opportunity to share with you as much as we would have liked. Many will also be aware that my presence around the many splendid weblogs that I enjoy so much has also dipped somewhat of late, but I am hoping you will forgive me this dereliction of duty as we plough every minute we can in to getting ready for 'Salute 2020'.
To that end, I was wondering if there were any good folk that might be willing to lend me their brushes? I have 35 SS Troops that need to be completed before the show and far too many distractions demands on my time. The miniatures are all primed and bases completed, but that is as far as it goes. I am afraid that I have very little to offer other than my unending gratitude and credit for the work completed. Sadly, given the time constraints, I imagine that this offer for internet immortality is only really open to UK based hobbyists?
In these unsettling and uncertain times, James and I are totally committed to bringing the project to a conclusion and would really appreciate any offers of help. If you think that this might be something that you would like to do, perhaps a couple of miniatures, half a dozen or even more then do please get in touch at...

My apologies for the unnecessarily cryptic address, (I should also point out that there are no spaces either!) but I am led to believe that this helps to reduce the likelihood of additional unwanted spam, something we are already plagued with.
Thank you,
Michael

ReplyDeleteYou are amazing, thank you!
DeleteOof, I wish I lived 5000 miles closer mate. Hope a champion painter comes through!
ReplyDeleteReally appreciate that Dai, fingers crossed. :)
DeleteI´m probably a bit too far away (time wise, TBH, I don´t know when Salute is) but the offer´s there.
ReplyDelete18th April for Salute, thank you though Paul although I think you are probably right, the turnaround might be too tight.
DeleteThe way Things are going, the snuffles doin the round, it may get cancelled or postponed. Stuff´s being cancelled left, Right n´centre here !
Deletepostponed ? Now that´s an odd Looking word, in the way skiing is. I don´t think I´ve ever written it down before. I could have used forestall but, written down it just Looks plain daft
DeleteI don't think forestall gets enough use these days, shame really. ;)
DeleteEmail sent,I can help out if you need it.
ReplyDeleteAll the best
Iain
Thank you Ian, just replied! :)
DeleteI'll help out if still needed?
ReplyDeleteYes please Ray!
DeleteYou can pass a few my way - I promise not to cover them in gold braid. Let me know, and I can pop round (ewe could always meet in the local)
ReplyDeleteThat's incredibly kind and good to know you are well. We have moved local, venturing through the castle to the Smugglers these days, but yes that would be lovely too.
DeleteThoughts and prayers! Would love to help, but on the far side of the world...
ReplyDeleteThank you Barks and you are probably right, maybe a tad far away for this job. :)
DeleteHope it goes well Michael I am fearful of volunteering my skills which definately won’t match your own superlative standards. If those others volunteering , you already have some excellent painters on tap, their services can’t cover it contact me through my blog.👍
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt, really appreciate the offer. Hopefully have enough volunteers, but if we get in trouble you shall be first on my list! ;)
DeleteI'd gladly volunteer, but you've seen my rather average (on a good day) painting skills. Knowing the bloiverse though, I'm pretty sure you'll have a lot of willing hands to help
ReplyDeleteGood luck.
Thank you so much Joe, I have been very fortunate and had a number of volunteers already sign up, but really appreciate the offer.
DeleteSadly my painting skills are way below what you need Michael, but I've a feeling all of you're great work will be in vain for this years event.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the offer Frank and nonsense about those painting skills! I am, however, starting to think you might be right about the show.
DeleteHere to help mate, drop me an email and I'll see what I can do for you. Sorry the reply is late, but wasn't able to get to the computer for a few days
ReplyDeleteAlways great to hear from you Dave, late or not. :)
DeleteI would happily help. Though it now seems your dealing is another 12 months away.. mind you will be really able to go large!
ReplyDeleteI bet I am still not ready! :D
DeleteMichael I was thinking of your project when the Salute announcement to cancel came through. I do hope you are keeping your spirits up 👍
ReplyDeleteThat is rally kind Matt, thank you. I have to admit is hit me pretty hard, but James has given me a talking to and we have been working hard to get things finished. Hoping to catch up soon.
