Here’s what I have been up to between overthinking things and practical matters-
 Replacing arms on these figures and mending the gaping hole in the grenade thrower with a mix of glue and paper scrunched together prior to fitting a replacement head.






Making a replacement leg from a matchstick before adding a replacement head.




Chitting my potatoes,weeding and tidying the garden a little when it is warm enough. I feel it is important to have a number of projects on the go both indoors and outdoors. I therefore can flit from one to another in my hobby butterfly manner. Trying to finish /take forward things rather than buying more other than glue, paint etc.

    Great to see more old lead chaps being restored.
    The way things are going I shall soon have (enforced) time to do the gardening I never have time for!

      I am trying to keep busy. Gardening can be so therapeutic I find if one potters away.

    Those horseguards with arms at the trail look really good, will you be repainting them or just touch in the new arm?

    Shaping up nicely. I also have a pile of potatoes shooting away like nobody;s business. Too cold here yet to plant out though.
