The main drawback with sand-tables is the fact that sand is abrasive. I've seen the results of regular use of nicely painted figures on sand. Not pretty!

I recall reading somewhere that Cake Decorators were called to service in Britain during WW2 because they had the necessary model making skills for this kind of thing. I can't recall the source and I don't know if it's true or not.

Cake decorators ?....Bloody amateurs....Like to see them make a 10mm figure or terrain out of icing sugar.  .....Wouldn't survive a vulcanising press either !

(It's too near Christmas....I'm losing it !)
