Going to need to scratch some limbs and guts with some gore. Was wondering about a were sheep as a little humorous aside.

With Shawn the Sheep standing behind it with a stake in hoof ?

Or perhaps a Lee Enfield with bayonet attached WW1 style? Not sure on the pose, but my grandad told my mum he had to put his boot on the body to get it out if his bayonet went in between the ribs. Not sure I can get a Shawn that I can pose like that.

So Spring then Geoff ?   

So did get the painting done today - now for the details etc.

So been thinking and a bayonet in the ribs is not doable, so a weir sheep with an extensible stinger which shoots out about 2 meters,?

Well got them nearly done, just got to do the blast panels on the Sukhoi. But managed to break the tanks off: angry:
Rethinking the zombies. Going to go less silly I think.

nope don't do the nationals as it costs far too much to get there, get in, and that only allows me to shop with the dealers as no under table stuff allowed. Very poor value for a lot of money. Did they get a lot of public pre booking do you know, as I was told they made a loss last year??

From their point of view Geoff it's the dealers who pay most of the money so you can see why they don't allow under the table sales. As for how they did ? No idea, it's a bit difficult to work out how busy it is post Covid as they allow far more space between tables and rows. Seemed busy enough to me, especially on the Saturday, and they had the usual Saturday morning IT issues 

Was it dealer's pressure that removed the almost traditional Kit Sale too?

As far as I'm aware Kit that was down to a lack of volunteers to organise and run it

It was mainly because Alfie Bass, the Kitswap organiser, has had serious health problems in recent years. I saw him at a show last year and he looked a shadow of his former self.

Covid and social distancing and a lack of volunteers doesn't help much either.

Effectively that means there's almost no way for IPMS members to trade kits between themselves then.

I'm less than impressed.
