Remembering
the last time I stumbled on that little gnome, taking a bath, I was walking
through a small forest, near the place we’re living. Not really looking for
gnomes but , yes, hoping that I would meet one of those small people!
Suddenly,
I smelt some smoke, tobacco….and yes!!! A gnome, enjoying his pipe, sitting on
a toadstool……

While
I withdrew silently, trying not to disturb this peaceful scene, I continued my
walk slowly. Then, in the corner of my eye, I saw …. a little house, possible
belonging to a gnome? While checking the surroundings, I heard some singing.
A
very faint, little voice but he had some fun…. Indeed, a gnome, enjoying some
beer and the way he was singing, it wasn’t his first goblet!!
Maybe
he had to celebrate something, so I let the little guy, enjoying his beer.
Happy,
that I had the opportunity seeing those little men, I went on. Then, as a
climax, another faint voice! I hide myself behind a tree and yes….. a
gnome-lady!! I think she was searching the one with the beer… hopefully , he
wasn’t too deep in trouble….
Those
little gnomes were again made by Elisena. Except the little house, that is a
garden ornament, made by TIBO, France, but it went just fine with the gnome
figures to create a little story.
It
was a challenge when starting to paint a thing like the toadstool,( that isn’t
just white and red!) but I enjoyed every second of building it! It was a welcome
change in building aircraft kits!
I
wish all the readers and viewers a happy and healthy 2009 and of course lots of
modeling time!! Enjoy!
