The painting tables seemed to multiply. Sean, Herman, Reinhold and Dave set up another one. The Perrys need the Maori contingent ! 
"They're in that box that came in with some unassembled figures!: 

" How many do we need ? " ....120 ! 
"How many do we have? .... 18 !
" I thought we were done assembling and painting. 
Apparently not!  And off we go...


How busy can you get? Roly's photo from the Crows' nest: 
TV crew, 3 tables painting and assembling, and the" Conveyerbelt"


Bruce helps the ANZACs arrive



Some familiar faces? The Perrys rendered Roly and Rhys as special characters


And after all that hard work you must surely be thirsty!


So off to the pub for some well-earned refreshment with you !
