Title: Dragons in the Air!
Post by: Ed Humphreys on November 10, 2020, 11:45:08 AM
There is a host of dragons on their way to all our members who are entitled to the free gift. If any have not arrived at their destination by the end of the month, please let me know.
Happy painting,
Ed

A pleasure, Bob. I've just looked more closely at mine, and, as well as an excellent Welsh dragon, there seems to be a small figure in armour in the corner!

Great Thanks To BFFS  !,,,

Post by: Nicholas Ball on November 21, 2020, 01:32:22 PM
Well the members chose the figure Mark and being completely bias, I‘m pleased they did😃

It took a while due to this disastrous year to finally get it out, and I must admit I was feeling somewhat embarrassed by letting the good members down, but I think from the reaction, it has been well received and finally gives back something that our loyal and faithful members deserve. A massive Thank You to you all for keeping the Society going, it is a pleasure to be the Hon.Secretary to such a merry band of jolly nice people.
😃

A Massive THANKS must also go to Ed for all his hard work in packing and getting these safely sent out, Jerry for the advertising in the latest Journal ( not sure who painted the figure on the front cover, but at least it was passable 😁 ) and to Sascha, Daniel and Benedict without whom, this figure would not have been possible.

I hope at some stage we can, repeat this free figure gift idea.

Enjoy and keep safe.      Nicholas

Greg, you 'll be finishing this flat within a couple of days !! and looks very promising.






Yes, Nick, thank you for this project, our membership raised quiet spectacular this year, reverting the trend of many other forums....We are now becoming one of the largest worldwide....


The flat of St George is impressive and the casting is of very good quality, unusual nowadays. Engraving was a crazy job very well achieved by a master of flats ...


An excellent project for this crazy year 2020 we will all remember , more with negative inputs in politic, economy and health...

The Dragons have made it to the States!  I got mine yesterday. What a great piece.  8) Thanks so much to all who made this happen.

If someone asks me, and I'm sure they will, is this piece available for purchase by non-members?
