Up Date on Dragoons

 

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.
