Actually a range of SYW teddy bears would look quite cute....

Though they really shouldn't have colours.

Half way through basing a load of cavalry to see what I've actually got and of course whether I need any more ;) :D

Shouldn't it be the AWI and the struggle for the god-given right to arm bears :)

I was nearly going 'mental' last night, trying to figure out how to quickly move the revamped Sam Apes' tiggers' tails, for a bit of variation.

Tried using the Dremmel, with the tiniest headed burr, to start with, to 'cut' between the end of the tail and the base. (The tail on the original shifted a tiny tad in the mould, which made things rather difficult for quick changes.)
Burr clogged up SO quickly, I had to keep stopping and cleaning the burr.....Took the best part of half an hour.....And there are 15 to do. X_X X_X X_X

After a lot of fiddling about with the jeweler's saw, I managed to get the blade into a good position to cut under the tip of the tail.....Though I really wanted 3 hands to do this.
Thankfully it worked....and was a lot quicker.

I can face doing the rest now !  ;)

I was wondering why I was getting chest pains, at work, early this morning.

Then I realised it was because I was pushing the handle of the piercing saw hard into my chest, while tightening the blade.
I really DO need a third hand/arm.

(You'd understand if you could see what I'm having to do.)  ;)

Finished off basing my Imagi-Nations cavalry this morning. Still not sure if I need a few more units or not. Late on another couple of infantry units to be based to round out one force.

Mum was down from Shropshire this weekend, so not much done, just need to flock the next three units of Picts, and started and finished 8 epic rhino tanks and two dreadnoughts this weekend. Might actually get a game of epic in a couple of weeks!

Painting mojo gone South this past week :(. However a game of BKCII on Saturday sees me doing a few minor conversions this morning before some priming and painting this evening :). After a long break it feels good to be planning a game with tanks!

Steve J

Base colour applied followed by wash as planned :).

First thing, this morning, will be to go outside to the freezer...(Maybe I'd better get dressed first)..... to recover the 30mm green that's been sitting in a little plastic box overnight.  :D

Then I can get straight on with putting in the creases in his 'jeans'.

Cheers - Phil

Please reassure us that you meant to leave him there?

Also it's part of your sculpting process and not "to make him sorry for having uncreased jeans"?






I didn't realise that Aztecs were a) so tall and b) wore denim.
