Or were they paraphrasing as so often happens with famous or historical figures? Hold it I've found the piece of paper that I wrote on. It says; 3 lbs of spuds, tin of mushy pees, two piece of cod .....oops sorry wrong piece of paper. Right found it. Al said - its art darling very conceptionally daring using a limited range of colours he's managed to produce an accurate representation of ballast or something like that. So there we have it. That what All said. Was there anything else you wanted. Mug of tea to wash down the mushy peas? 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Bogie Posted September 16, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 16, 2021 Al? Is he the guy we call Moats or Moist? Whoever he is I agree with him. We have a politician here in Oz who during a TV interview many years ago repeatedly claimed to support whatever the Prime Minister had said, even though he didn’t know what she had said. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 The joy of ballasting.... There's no avoiding it, I've got to do mine. It's looking very neat as always, I'll be squeezing point rodding under the platform edge too. The height and position of the water tank really helps with perspective and distance from that angle, as well as looking the part! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsy Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Oh joy - looks really good Chris. Just ballasted a 20cm test piece and that had me tearing my hair out. Glad I've only got a short plank to do now!!! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
