Nearly There. . .

 

Ok, we're almost home.  The weather gods have cooperated again today with gray skies and steady rain, so I've had every excuse needed to avoid yard work out of doors for one more day and steal away to Zum Stollenkeller after breakfast with the Grand Duchess late this morning.  An hour or so to c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y peel the figures from their temporary cardboard bases and line 'em up atop their permanent bases.  

Just need to retouch the green base edges before cementing the 60 or so figures in place, but here they are in company column.  Not perfect by any stretch, but they look pretty darn good en masse at arm's length.  Overall, I'm pleased although goodness knows it took long enough to finish this particular unit.  Almost nine months.  Jeeze Louise!

But for right now, it's raining lightly, the house is still, and I'm off to have a Sunday afternoon lie-down with one or both cats, who, like many dogs, usually turn up sooner or later when they discover someone reclined on the bed.
