A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act III, Scene I (apparently):
Some man or other must present Wall: and let him
have some plaster, or some loam, or some rough-cast
about him, to signify wall; and let him hold his
fingers thus, and through that cranny shall Pyramus
and Thisby whisper.
Not too bad for old Shakespeare - enraged English students, forgive me my dislike of the Bard. I am yet recovering from my introduction to him at school approximately one half-life-so-far ago!
I have just been prettying up some walls. A spot where the matte has not overcome the gloss varnish only becomes apparent when you take a photograph! Tsk!
All these pieces Wargames Illustrated has lately been running on battlefield defences in Flames of War have clearly been running through my unconscious mind. It was only a few minutes ago that I realised the evident genesis of this thing I've just knocked up. These are the preliminary stages. I will slap on more plasticard offcuts, base and undercoat the devil, and then cover it with camo netting. If it looks passable, then I've a load more of those old Leman Russ lascannons I can turn into Heavy Weapons teams. The chap is solely for scale. The impression will be that the fellows within are hidden by the netting.
