The after market heads have arrived for fusiliers.
Sallet type helmets.
I know they are not really the right look for the minis. I just love the look of the helmets

A plan for this year is to start walking sections of the S+D railway. Starting in Bath and heading south.
I wonder how much of it you can walk on the old trackbed.
I will post pics as I go.

Seeds have finished soaking.
All are now planted in damp compost.
Three pots are now in the fridge for up to 16 weeks to trick them into thinking it’s winter. This is called stratification.
The forth pot can stay at room temperature.
Japanese cedar.
Red maple.
Chinese wisteria.
Judas tree.

Plaster of Paris powder ordered. I’m going to be making plant pots again. These will be for the bonsai trees once they germinate.

Got some work done today on the free guard fusilier.
An arm left to do, still can’t make my mind up on which after market heads to get.

This will be the 14th Christmas without my dad, The greatest teacher of life skills I ever had. I miss him like mad even now.
So if your folks are still with you love and visit them as much as you can.

Now I quite like to listen to heavy metal, However I do like other stuff as well, including classical music.
Some of it is so emotional, Like the theme tune to the Snowman. Every time I hear it I get goosebumps and a chill down my spine. And I takes me back many years to my childhood.☃️

Didn’t get as much painting time as I hoped today. First of the fusiliers is so close to being finished. Arms still to do and I’m now looking at buying some alternative heads for the fusiliers, So he will be headless for a while.

Finished the squad captain if that’s what he is.
I’m enjoying painting these guys, there’s something believable about them.
