Old stuff

Hi again! Dug out some old stuff. Haven't painted these figures myself, but I like them. They are pretty old now and a little worn.

First Aristocats. Think I've got all in this little series.

Then Lucky Luke. Lucky himself disappeared sometime (I think his legs was too fragile and got lost or something), but I think I've got the rest of the figures.

And then Tintin. Maybe there were more in this series, but these are the important ones.

Yes, I still got Snowy (Milou). He was lost for a while, but I found him again. Got more Disney-figures, but they will have to rest awhile.

A little preview. Exlusive!!!

I am building a little jungle for my expedition-adventure. Work goes a little to fast. The missus said it was okay to buy something, but I said it was better to buy when I felt that I was finishing something. Well, it seems it's time to order soon. :-/ I need some ruins and statues for this jungle. This will only be shown here so it is a little exlusive for my followers here, even if more can see this. When I took the picture I forgot to hide one of the statues I already have, so you'll get to see a little more than I intended. :-)

Working on a base

Yup, that's right. I am working on a little project. But going is very slow. I hope to finish before Christmas, but I can't say. It's for my little story "The Expedition" at Benno's.

Where there's smoke there's fire?

Hi again. A lot of smoke here right now. There is a forest fire about 50 km North of us and the smoke is drifting. As it is at the moment it's not very dangerous smoke since it is only wood and stuff that burns. No houses are burnt yet, but there are some towns and villages in the area that are evacuated. At the moment one dead and one badly burnt. It is very hot and dry in the area and they have lost control over the fire so this can be very bad. And there is another, smaller, forest fire a couple of miles to the West of the big fire so it doesn't look very good for the people in the area. Hopefully we'll get some rain, but this is the worst forest fire in Sweden in modern times. And some smoke. I was strange to go downtown and I heard that the shopping area West of town was best avoided, you couldn't breath there. And a pic of the church tower.

A bit of obsession

Hi there! I'm back again! Soon I hope to post pics on painting activity, but in the meantime something else, but a little connected. I remember listening to the radio the 25th of June 1976. I was pretty excited since this was the anniversary of the Little Big Horn fight. Don't know why I was so interested, but I had already been it for some time. And still is. :-/ Bought some books, got some articles. This is part of it.

I think I have more articles somewhere. Maybe I will do something with figures. I did a little dio some years back and maybe I'll make another. Have the figures I need so it's just inspiration and time. :-)

Two pals

Hi again.

This blog went to sleep again, but now I wake it up. While we were struggling (and still are) with our dog his best pal got sick and died in a couple of hours (probably ate or drank something bad outdoors). We have spent a lot of time with this dog too and I felt I needed to do something. The company Schleich sells plastic boxers so I repainted two to resemble our dog and his pal. First the originals:

Valter and Dogge

Dogge and Valter

And now the plastic ones

A little update :-D

But not with figures, this time. Well, some news. I've started on my Battle of Gata Forest 1365 again. Had a break for 4 years and doing other funny stuff. :-D Well, back to the update. It's da dawg! We saw the other vet! He found that our dog had hurt a toe, probably a couple of years ago. Well, he ran away and chased a roedeer with a pal about three years ago and he was limping when he returned. He didn't limp after that. But he protested some times. He hid that the toe hurt, but this summer (it was very hot and he is VERY heat sensitive, couldn't walk or run, but he could eat) he got too heavy to hide his toe anymore. Well, from a body full of tumours to a hurt toe in a couple of weeks was pretty chaotic. Now he gets the right medicine and we're trying to get him a little lighter. And he gets training in a water-tank so he doesn't have to press on his toe too much. And he gets treatment two times a week. So pretty positive. :-D

And spring is here so we started cleaning the balcony and making it ready for the flowers and tomatoes.
