Hi Nik,

Do you have a photo of the wolves: I need a choas hound substitute :)

Here you go - just done these - not convinced that the PVA is going to hold them though (haven't been anywhere near a superglue shop this week!)

Codes are  FG6 & FG10 (giant ones) - fast iPad pic so not great quality...base size here is 50x25

"not convinced that the PVA is going to hold them though"

if in doubt use more fecken glue the figures base should sit in it rather than on it.

And that, right there, is why I use superglue  :)

But I get my PVA 2 gallons at a time free.  ;) ;) ;)

Superglue I have to pay for.  :( :( :(

I was right - the PVA'd ones came off with absolutely no provocation whatsoever...so a trip to Poundland today, a load of cheap superglue later and they're stuck fast on their bases. Right where they belong  :)

Agreed ;)

PVA peels to easily: I can't even get the Superglued ones off even when I want to.

I have PVA'ed 15mm figures that were done thirty years ago - and still rock solid.
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

Looking after a friends dog for the week which is a bit high maintenance so not much stuff done over the past few days :(. Hopefully a bit of basing and painting tonight though :).

Much flocking about last night. Then realised I'd missed aerials and pennants, those will get done tonight, plus base coats on another competition entry. This next one is mad and needs research!
*realises I might have bitten off more than I can chew on this one*
