But I must admit to a bit of depression when I look at the remaining seven sets of sailors still to be painted, at least 14 figures of which will probably have stripes of some sort required!Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-73431026254892622442018-10-18T07:53:33.482+13:002018-10-18T07:53:33.482+13:00Looking good Mark...
