Takes time and effort to qualify as an old Grumbler and it seems very appropriate for the painter to get in the spirit and grumble a bit as he helps them earn their place.<br />Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-81091705216916563092020-05-15T16:54:23.540+01:002020-05-15T16:54:23.540+01:00Lee, I haven't tried a wet palette maybe I sho...Lee, I haven't tried a wet palette maybe I should give it a go!Strykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-81819404546194849762020-05-15T16:35:03.072+01:002020-05-15T16:35:03.072+01:00They are still lovely figures, so persist and no d...They are still lovely figures, so persist and no doubt you will be rewarded.Independentwargamesgrouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019172667119107650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-3993356238678844302020-05-15T16:17:43.897+01:002020-05-15T16:17:43.897+01:00They are looking fantastic Ian.

It really does keep the blobs of paint usable for most of the day, or if you use one with a lid you can use the same paint next day. I have used one in various forms for many years and it must have saved me a small fortune in paint. It's especially useful where you need to go back and touch up small errors etc. I also find it's kinder on the brushes.'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-44697936762378320882020-05-15T14:58:36.040+01:002020-05-15T14:58:36.040+01:00That sounds good Tony!That sounds good Tony!Strykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-28965191333290248992020-05-15T14:49:51.743+01:002020-05-15T14:49:51.743+01:00The grenadiers are impeccable - really good.
