Poor judgement on my part... I'll see if I can readjust with the editing tool and try again.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663682631274573026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8813532882741884491.post-10927223662404675822019-06-24T00:43:01.469-07:002019-06-24T00:43:01.469-07:00The troops are stunning, David.

The purchase was funded entirely through the sale of much of my collection and no family money was touched, which was an agreement I had with my wife when I proposed this purchase. <br /><br />The Alaska trip has been percolating a long time and I will admit to receiving a little family help on both sides to make it happen. It was once in a lifetime.<br /><br />Have to agree regarding the Russian mud. Not only that, but I was trying to do the photography on a dark and stormy evening, so had next to no ambient light. Would love to make a nice clean battle board like Wellington Man, but that may be a project for the future...Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663682631274573026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8813532882741884491.post-87113533514028735942019-06-23T10:10:13.065-07:002019-06-23T10:10:13.065-07:00David, you've cleaned and glossed them up a tr...David, you've cleaned and glossed them up a treat and you are probably the only one who could identify what re-touching has been done. <br />I am truly envious but have no doubt your wife constantly beats you up over the second mortgage, it beats me how you could afford to go on holiday to Alaska.<br />I appreciate this action took place in the muddy depths of the steppe no doubt during a Spring thaw but I think you need a much lighter table to play on so the figures stand out as the stars they are - the dark brown seems to swallow them up like Russian mud. <br /><br />Robnoreply@blogger.com
