Mediaeval bowmen eating ice-cream, Romans eating burgers and so on. Glad to see you using a IIIc - it's old I know, but not "in-period" ;-) - have fun with it and do try to complete a PAW. It can be difficult at times, but the LUG is quite tolerant, allowing you to catch up if you miss out a week or four. In the shots you showed, you probably need to knock-back the intensity of the browns/reds. Look at a few old pictures that have browned with age, the colour is generally much flatter than you have used and probably less intense, often faintly yellowed by time. Peter Dzwig D.
