My mate gave me some plastic spaceships last night - but assembly has been delayed as can't find my plastic cement - all this tidying and organising isn't entirely working...

All on a big heap i say, much easier and everything you need there for the taking  ;D ;D ;D ;D

It would be good to get your daughter involved. Mine have been fairly erratically involved in painting over the years. These were some of their best stuff - but the shear size meant they were bored before the giants where finished. But I  really pleased with the colours they have used, as these aren't the ones I'd have chosen. And there is very little finishing off left to do.

Many many moons ago when my daughter was still at her all girls high school they were reading a book about Kiwis fighting in Crete. The teacher tasked the class with creating an art project related to the book

My daughters effort stood out amongst the various posters and collages ;)

She had reproduced a scene from the book with a bren gunner covering a path near a scratch built buiding ;D
All her own work with only advice from Dad :)

Space Ships

Found the plastic cement - it hadn't been miss-placed in the tidy up for the new drawers, it was through in the conservatory, between two piles of stuff. I found it when tidying stuff up ready for Christmas.

So I was able to stick together some spaceships, they as Dropzone Commander models that my mate got as part of a Kickstarter a couple of years ago, and hadn't got round to doing anything with yet. I think we are more likely to use the Billion Sun rules, which are upcoming ones from Osprey rather than the DZC ones, which look very complex. The ships went together well, and I do quite like the look of them.



There is also a larger cruiser that I put together after taking the photo

Those DZ ships are rather smart...
Sometimes I wonder - why is that frisbee geting bigger - and then it hits me!
