A very long time ago I found this figure in a sandpit. Not so very long ago I had her identified by the friends here and painted her.

Yesterday I got a package! What can it be????

Yes! Some friends for her! :-D

Look how happy she is now! Almost as happy as I am! :mrgreen:

And some other friends:

But the painting table is occupied!

It is always magic receiving such clasics via the post.
Now the painted dancing girl :thumbup:

has something special to dance about,being surrounded by long ago lost old friends. Her story and theirs would be wonderful to hear, all it needs is a finger bright or otherwise upon the keyboard. ;-)

Once upon a time there was a dancing girl a real pearl of a girl found in a sand pit......... perhaps the rest is for another time?
Enjoy your figures Gunnar,they are a well good and worthy addition to have,
and are becoming quite rare to find. My house is a tip and it`s very hard to find even mine. :-D

Greetings to everyone reading or trying to read. BB

I think Cacofaonix looks happy to have found a girl to dance to his music, and some other players to jam with. Always good to see the Asterix figures and I'd be happy to see these painted in the future.

But in the mean time, those sacks look interesting. I think there's a story there.

Is mail in Sweden always delivered by the FIGZ Napoleon.

She`s not alone anymore.

Pregnant ?

Be carefull Gunnar! Painting instruction, one figure each month! Not two! One! Just one! Otherwise the magic will be gone!

Looks like these figures are making a tour through Europe! :mrgreen:

One figure a month???? Oh, schucks! :mad:

Then I'll never finish!

I skip that rule :mrgreen:

If only FIGZ took care of the Swedish mail ... :eh:

Pregnant??? :shock:

Don't tell her father! And who is THE father??? Cacafonix??? :shock:

A lot of questions and no anwers! But a lot of thanks to Remco! :-D

Hey Gunnar, I did send a PM if you got them, and missed this post!
Have fun painting them, I tought to put the missing other women from Cleopatra's music club in there as well.
I am woundering what you make out of it, and hey one a month must be enough ( I can know :mrgreen:

)
Now clear the table, and show them ;-)

Fantastic figures they are, Susofrick. Cheer up, paint them soon and join the Asterix fan club, as I did (I have doubts if his founder was Dad's Army or Beano Boy) :lol:

Have a nice day. :-D

Santi.

Now I'm posting pics again! :-D

Finished my Medevials! And a cook for another project! :-D

But I always thought one of them should have another animal to sit on!

Nikolai's ox was a bit slim (lots of bluesmusicians called slim, but Slim Bull? Bah, there's been one Almost Slim so why not!)

So now I can start on my Asterix-figures! Girls go first and since Cacofonix also is a musician (as long as he doesn't sing (very much like me)) he can go as well. And along with some Roman audience and some other stuff! Peter said one figure a month, but he must have mixed that up with cake. It's one birthday-cake a month! I have great fun with these! :-D

Good luck on those girls, still have to paint mine as well.
I wait to see yours, so I got a good example :mrgreen:

Posted by **Wiking** on 10 May 2018, 06:44

I like the ox team. Very nice idea.

I see the stuff surrounding your shown figures.
Do we share the same idea of tidiness ?
:mrgreen:

Posted by **Beano Boy** on 10 May 2018, 14:27

Gunnar,is that OXO-RIX a brand new character sitting upon that Bull ?
After another look i noticed that Mouse or is it a rather slim hungry Rat ?
In the mixing up of fantasy any bottle top figure fits in well,remember my cabbages?
The Romans are still guarding them. ;-)

Sometimes it's good to keep quiet, sometimes it is not! :-D

Huge thanks Paul (BB)! Now I have some more to paint! :-D

Posted by **Beano Boy** on 21 May 2018, 22:29

You are most welcome Gunnar,and I have a little bit less to paint now. :-D

Posted by **Beano Boy** on 21 May 2018, 22:49

Here we are again.
In repetition Gunnar,are those Nasturtium plants ? BB

Posted by **Susofrick** on 22 May 2018, 07:12

I think these are cucumbers that I almost killed. Forgot to water them. :oops:

The other Paul is our plant expert here. But it SHOULD be cucumber! :-D

Cool wet Cucumber sandwiches a rather pleasant British delight!
