I have largely avoided this by putting my faith truly in the One True Scale and Pendraken.

Not 10mm obvs...

The manufacturer of a popular range closes its doors.
You've an incomplete army, or were on the cusp of building another opponent.

I avoid this now I have the funds, by buying the entire army in one go.

That is probably quite sensible.


Wish I did that.

I did that with the Little Wooden Men. Or at least I thought I had. Need more cannon.

Four days without power.  I have stuck over 1500 figures to wooden sticks.

Four days! What happened?

[BernaDotDotDot]

About as close to a tornado as you can get without being a tornado.  Tree and lines down on every road in the county.  We were out running errands and it took forever to get home. Every single traffic light was out.  We are also on the county line, so last on the list to get back on.

Silver lining, it's camping in.  And I did all the paint prep work that was my goal for, definitely next 3 months, maybe the year.  Heck, I could make a new order!  Gah....

Wifey took a pic.  I have crap to do, but it was in a way pretty nice little forced vacation. At some point soon I will make a little post on fig mounting and planning.  I have worked out a lot over the past year or so to cheat a bit.

Glad you are both okay

[BernaDotDotDot]

Thanks!  In a strange but good way, the worst I heard was one car got hit by a tree and that was it.  They were fine.  It wasnt high enough winds to pick things up, but enough to cull a ton of half dead trees and all the power lines under them.

Last year I undercoated a base of 3 Star Wars droids too thickly and then used what I thought was plastic safe paint remover on the individual droids ... it wasn't so after an hour or so only chemical smelling Blobs remained.  As they were part of a set I had to resort to eBay for replacements.

Ho hum.

Thanks guys.

We have power.  Back to work.  I enjoyed my 10mm camping-in  vacation.

New annoyance.

Miscounting your Japanese infantry wants and so have to put in (and wait for) another pack.   


Then ... finding out you miscounted again and have to order (and wait for) a second additional pack. 


Upside: Since it is unbecoming to put in an order for less than £25, also have some Hesse-Darmstadt infantry on the way.

"Count thrice, order once"

[Orcs]

Thrice - now that's a word that should get used more often.

[Last Hussar]

Engineer: measure twice, cut once.

Manager: Measure once, cut twice, give the ruler a bad performance review.

Sounds like BT!

I fully expect to find I've over-ordered.
