I brought home a ton of samples and just plunked down a base of British and French on them to see which color seemed to compliment the figures and basing.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663682631274573026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8813532882741884491.post-43743543053560206002020-07-06T19:43:46.869-07:002020-07-06T19:43:46.869-07:00I will not bore you with details, but suffice to s...I will not bore you with details, but suffice to say the expense and time involved in rabbit proofing the garden is fairly ridiculous. I'm trying to think of it as a long term investment...<br /><br />The second coat of paint is drying on the terrain already. One more should do it and then just the flat surface of the table!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663682631274573026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8813532882741884491.post-40258771806720387822020-07-06T13:41:19.437-07:002020-07-06T13:41:19.437-07:00Your table is coming along nicely David...

I can't wait to see what my daughter's artistic skills can do with it! I have the first coat of green down on the terrain and can only hope the second coat tones it down a bit. Right now it looks a bit like a nuclear fallout zone. Some day WM you will have your own permanent table. I took getting both of our youngsters through college before I could devote the time and space to do so. You'll get there I have no doubt!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663682631274573026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8813532882741884491.post-55946754709400130312020-07-06T01:51:26.633-07:002020-07-06T01:51:26.633-07:00What an extraordinary post, David :) !

Are you going for a plain green old school look or an artistic (fields, etc.) final coat? If the former can I put in a vote for a pale green like WM's as darker shades tend to swallow up the troops<br />I'm surprised you didn't feast on rabbit pie for Independence Day - 'Don't Eat my Veg' seems every bit as valid as 'Don't Tread on Me'.Robnoreply@blogger.com
