ITLSU 1914 Project

[pierre the shy]

Was beginning to wonder, some views, but no comments on it  

It was very good. As they say the victors get to write the history.

I'm on "domestic duties" this weekend since we had two days of gaming last weekend  

I have been progressing a few more ships for....other scenarios later in the year

Yes Boss

Cut over a hundred bases last night, will sand 40 or so later today 

Done the khaki for the haversacks and packs, will do the webbing and maybe boots tonight

40 bases sanded and washed

Officers belts and boots done as well as Vickers

Other ranks boots and webbing will have to wait until tonight

I was thinking about bases today and cutting my own but 1.75 for 20 I dont think I will bother

Or £1.10 for 20... http://www.minibits.net/MDF-Bases-c9/Circular-sc2/?  (Although I'm assuming you're talking 25mm circles?!)

No 30x30...Are yours 2 or 3mm thick Leon?

[paulr]

I buy a 2mm styrene sheet from a sign maker supply company. Costs the equivalent of about 20 quid for a sheet about 2m x 1.4m.

I use rectangular bases, so cutting is easy. Usually lasts me a couple of years Although now that I think about I have almost used up this sheet which I got for my AWI project 

I am definitely painting more than usual  It must be the wonderful figures 

Postage delays from the UK would require me to be very organised if I was ordering from Leon

Just noticed, well over 4,000 views

Fenton, Leon's bases are 2mm thick.

Just over 20 views per reply. If several people do what I do and come to look more or less every time there's a reply, that's probably a dozen or so of us looking at every update and  a larger number of occasional visitors.

I'm glad my days of having to analyse web traffic are behind me

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

I fall into that category....

Stay there, we'll throw you a line.
