I have dabbled in making them myself, but lacked the time and commitment to really do it properly. I paint at a table in the living room as it allows me to follow what is on the TV and be at least semi-sociable. Others have a permanent work bench set up, which has a lot of other benefits.Rock Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259561583833857901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438919470851543844.post-55236001343318895722008-06-09T05:57:00.000-07:002008-06-09T05:57:00.000-07:00Questions about the figures - you buy them already...Questions about the figures - you buy them already made but not painted? or do you form them yourself too? Do you just do this at the dining room table or do you have a "work area"? As someone who likes to paint I am always curious how others set up in a family situation.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00990762101774224558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438919470851543844.post-8765377715074061462008-06-09T03:32:00.000-07:002008-06-09T03:32:00.000-07:00Hope you all have a great time.

I do wear my glasses when I paint the figures but once you get used to doing they are surprisingly easy.<BR/><BR/>Terri - You certainly do need to be relaxed when painting those figures - a slight twitch of the hand and half of the soldier ends up the wrong colour!<BR/><BR/>Sonny Amou - Welcome back! Glad you like Fat Jedi Cat! There are lots of little camp sites dotted around the UK, it shouldn't be hard to find somewhere to go.<BR/><BR/>Sitting in Silence - Average summer temperatures here are in the low 20s C, with the hottest ever being 38.5 C, recorded in 2003 a few miles from where I am. Not great by Ozzie standards, but we will always complain that it is too hot as soon as it hits 20 anyway, it is part of being a "whingeing pom"!Rock Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259561583833857901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438919470851543844.post-37491094534395456682008-06-05T18:37:00.000-07:002008-06-05T18:37:00.000-07:00Yayyyyyyyyyy for summer !

I understand about looking silly getting to the camp sight and not being able to figure out how it all goes together. Been there, done that.<BR/><BR/>Boy, those really are small figures. It looks like it would take a lot of patience and a pair of very strong glasses to see details of such tiny figures. it sounds like you really enjoy doing that.Chachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169476630228761237noreply@blogger.com
