UPDATE.

 It has been a while since I updated readers on my modelling progress hence this post. The fact is that I have actually done comparatively little modelling this past couple of weeks. Most of my time has been spent on socialising, chores and working on the replacement of the window cill in our bedroom. This object seems to have suffered from a water leak and, being made of MDF, had swollen somewhat in the corner. I have had to remove it, reseal under the window frame and cut, prepare and fit a new three part cill. The installation actually took place this morning. I now have to wait for the expanding foam and glued joints to go off before I can move onto filling all the gaps and holes caused when removing the old cill. After that I can started repainting. I have also been instructed to repaint ALL other window cills in the house at the same time !!!!!

I now have the timber to construct the new free standing bookcase previously mentioned. Just as soon as I finish with the window cill, I will start that project. I will post on this subject, with pictures, as I progress.

On the modelling front I have done a little work. I have completed upgrades 19, 20, and 21 which have added another 500 or so soldiers to the ranks although most of the work had been done at the time of my last update.

As some may recall, I have always used Humbrol paints in my modelling. I usually buy these either direct from Humbrol or if I only need a few I will buy at our local Hobby Craft. I needed a few tins recently so called at Hobby Craft. They have stopped stocking these paints. I did a quick interweb search and cannot find a single outlet closer than 35 miles away other than a new model shop that has recently opened apparently in our county town's Market Hall. I will visit said new shop ASAP and provided they are suitably stocked and at the right price it will become my new go to place even if it is some distance away.
