Do you remember the days of
when you ran out of model paint that you could just go to a shop and purchase
what you wanted? That now seems a luxury these days during lockdown.
But I felt that I should give
an update on my painting of the “Scots Greys”. Ending of last year I did manage
to buy some paints that I thought that I might need before yet another
lockdown, but how wrong was I. I had painted little bits and pieces of both
troopers and horses, but it was not till after Christmas that I found that I
needed some difference grey colour for their trousers and horse. The one pot
of old grey paint that I was using dried out and had to be thrown away. But I
did not have any spares in my paint box. So the project has come to a complete
stop. I did not want to start another project, so after scratching my head, I
came up with I’ll paint the top half of the troopers and what I could of their
horses and hope that we can come out of lockdown sometime in March to buy that
tin of paint.
Now why do I not buy online?
I hear you say, well that is it will cost about £5 to post one tin of paint. So
as there is no urgency for the paint I’ll wait for the shops to reopen and stock
up on different grey paints.
