General Ranting / Re: The Jolly Bodger’s Drybrush Conspiracy

No ignorance to forgive Orctrader 
The Jolly Bodgers is a small group of friends down here in deepest darkest Devon, who formed a 'club' a number of years ago so they could attend the Torbay Military Model Show. They consisted of Toosh (Trace), a couple of old GD winners from the early 90s (where imagination ruled the GDs) Dave Knowles and Brad Wells, and a military modeller called Dave Pratt. There were no formal club meetings, but there was an innate sharing of ideas through their friendship.
When I moved down here I joined the Bodgers by default (Tracy being my better half), and now we are beginning to spread our wings and attend other shows. This year was the first time we have had a stand at Bath, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! We are still just 5 people and aren't an open club as such, but it is still good fun
Regarding dry-brushing, there is nothing wrong with it, and it certainly has its place in my repertoire for fur/chainmail or other highly textured surfaces. But I prefer the control of layering my colours and feathering the edges to produce a smooth transition in colour

I think we have Toosh to thank for that 'swift' answer! Go girl! 
And the Bodger's will definitely have a table at Torbay '09, so if anyone wants to come take a look, you are more than welcome
