You forgot 'lost my money in a poker game...'!<br />I am so pleased to read that I am not the only one who completely underestimates the time that it will take to paint a particular part of figures. Those final touches are always really time-consuming--mine look nowhere near as good as yours, but I think take me longer to do!James Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242408484763644333.post-10427765844019103222019-11-13T10:24:09.366+13:002019-11-13T10:24:09.366+13:00Beautiful toys sir...

No wonder your lines are always so straight and smooth.
