Fabulous work Martyn, she will be stunning when she's finished - well done, you're showing great skill here!!
Can I just ask what type of gold paint you are using for the bling? It looks a nice yellowy gold, or is it actually real gold leaf that you're applying!?

Hi Martyn, Just had a catch read of your diary and everything is very neat and tidy. Your patience with the rat lines has shown through, because they look very uniform from top to bottom. WTG, keep up the good work. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"
