  5. Oh, looking very nice indeed, Alan. I've only got as far as one test figure. Great to paint though; no tartan and no lace.

    1. It will be a relief to move out of the lace/ tartan wars cave into the glorious light of the Middle Ages as they ought to have been. Looking forward to seeing the test figure.

  6. Lamming is a name from the past, have you had them long? Are you unusual as a cricket fan in Scotland, and do you support 'anyone but England' like the football fans do? :)

    I started watching cricket back in the John Player League days when it was on tv all Sunday afternoon. Support England , always have done, love TMS including cakes and fun, have a soft spot for Scotland as one of my colleagues in teaching had a son who played for them back in the day.

    1. Interesting about Lamming, they are charming and rather tempting! I have a very old 'Battle' mag with a Bill Lamming interview, but he stopped before I had money for metal!
      Cricket on TV on Sundays ( and sponsored by cigarettes) - it was a very different world..
