The figs are fine in the heat, normally 33-36 here, but as for the paints its wahalla...trouble.
I use Games workshop paints,(so the fridge comes in handy) local poly filler and static grass for basing, and my last suitcase from the u.k.
was full to the brim, of 15mm zulu/British, rorkes drift etc, 10mm vikings,Huns,Saxons,Byzantiums,and many many bases, no room for my shoes so I left them in the u.k.
I us local Teak, as base boards, 4x4 and 6x4.My staff are amazed I can even see to paint them...I must admit 10mm is a challenge, so I purchased a few painted already, applied sun block and away we go...

Wow, thanks Marie.

People often post pictures of their work stations...paints in the fridge would really win the prize for originality ;)

lol, well I have to to double up my office desk, becomes at lunchtime my painting station,
after 6p.m. its dark here all the time, so lights on full and two spotlights to assist.

I used to keep nail varnish in my tool box, back when I repaired electronics for a living. We used it to fix the azimuth screw in place on tape decks.

We had wild teak in Nigeria and a I was lucky to have a truly wonderful piece to work with. Happy days :).

Yep to all we have teak, mahogany, clear nail varnish makes great varnish, if you run out of Citadel gloss varnish,
prefer matt really, but kinda think shiny gloss is good for 10mm...
And as for super glue, its super sticky in this heat....
The god news is the soil is full of Iron, and is great for basing...
ans of course wall powder (poly-filler to you and I) lol....
