A man of many talents.

I’ve gone into the hotel business as well.
A ‘bug hotel’ for our youngest granddaughter. It will be her job to stuff the floors with pine cones, canes and other odds and sods.

I’ve just been stuffing small boxes with bamboo cane for SWMBO. I don’t mean they are for her to live in, she wanted me to chop up the canes. Doesn’t half take a lot to fill a small space. .

You will soon require a bigger shed

Way too late with that comment Barry.
Already filled two sheds and a double garage. I think what I really need is a bigger house.........or a number of skips.

Another batch of figures from the ModelU Patreon stable painted today with a different set in the printer for finishing off tomorrow.

Painted to perfection, they look superb.

I believe it is the wash that transforms them. I have only just discovered it and am adding it to my previously unwashed figures.

Washes are the modelling equivalent of witchcraft and sorcery.
I used a different black wash from Vallejo on these - imho they are a bit dark - followed by a very dry brush of white then a coat of Matt antishine.
I’ve just finished a batch of mechanics so they will get the same treatment later today.

Mechanics completed, although the varnish still newscast to set properly. I got this download from ModelU yesterday and printed them overnight.
