I even attacked the third of my Normandy ones last night to give me a change!<br /><br />As for the speed? Well, the summer hols are over now, but change is afoot.

You'll be pleased to know that even before I started reading, I thought:<br /><br />1) That canvas looks fantastic<br />2) If that roundel isn't a transfer it's very impressive<br /><br />Great stuff! I'm also glad to see there's someone else who still refers to paints (of any manufacture) by their old GW name. Still got lots of Bestial Brown knocking about somewhere...Colonel Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632701529009379584noreply@blogger.com
