RMweb Gold lezz01 Posted November 4, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 4, 2023 Let me elucidate. I'm very Arab looking as my father was Maltese, one of my sisters is very very white, same father but she favours our mother who was from Yorkshire and the youngest sister is black, different father.

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted November 4, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 4, 2023 Gone for an aged white/pure white combo and a little pink in the ears Once dry he’ll get a pink nose and I’ll have to dirty him up a little, especially on the belly and rear end 😖 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold lezz01 Posted November 4, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 4, 2023 Quite a good match for a Romney and certainly in the time frame for Warren. Maybe add a wash of light earth on the fleece and blacken the hoofs a bit. Regards Lez. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Lez Now I have the seal of approval I’ll crack on with the remaining sheepies and add a wash as suggested PS does this remind you of anyone? It must be an 80’s sheep as it appears to be wearing leg warmers? 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold lezz01 Posted November 4, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 4, 2023 It looks even more like a Romney from that angle Chris maybe the white needs to be grey'd down a little coz it looks very VERY white. The Romney is a long wool breed so as I said it looks a good match. Regards Lez. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortuga Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Looks good Chris @chuffinghell. Is that one of the Serious Play sheep? PS: maybe it’s not wearing leg warmers, but wrinkled stockings? Maybe it’s Nora Baaatty? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, I’ve had them a while and unfortunately a few of them are damaged so I only have seven with all four legs so I’ve sanded down one of the legless ones in the hope it will look like he’s laying down…. …..I’ve added a subtle wash as suggested by @lezz01 I don’t think Serious Play are trading any more 19 hours ago, Tortuga said: PS: maybe it’s not wearing leg warmers, but wrinkled stockings?

Don't worry that's where the scanning electron microscope comes in handy. Amazing what you can get on Freecycle isn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not when you haven't got around to replacing the microwave that the memsahib blew up. Going back to the sheep, one of my Serious Play sheep also lost a leg, they were a rather brittle resin. He stands in some long grass, munching contentedly. The old Merit sheep can survive a trip round the vacuum cleaner with typical ovine indifference....

MrWolf Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Apparently if you stay late after certain model railway exhibitions you are likely to encounter a legless sheep* * So I'm told.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 5BarVT Posted November 7, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 7, 2023 He was well behaved when I last saw him at an exhibition, but then I didn't stay late. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
