Made a start on converting some of the EMM2 knights, by removing their lances so that they can be repositioned to add more variety to the pose. I may do a few head swaps as well

More Sharp Practice 2 rebasing. This time a shed load of 15mm Poles, Saxons and Russian Napoleonics (until I ran out of pennies.... )

Flocked some more sabots but still need more and have also run out of 2p pieces on which to base Leaders.

Now sat working out how many more bases, sabots I need and looking at my force compositions to see whats missing and needs ordering so I can expand my AWI to include FIW figures as well as sourcing 15mm baggage and civilians. Long time since Ive gamed in 15mm so I'm not that up to date on whats out there

Continuing with the final code of the Dark Elves.

Swore lots & lots when the Dremel suddenly decided it was going to speed up at its lowest speed. 

Ordered a cheap bit of kit from Amazon that should help slow it down. (I'll let you know if the theory works !)
Swine with that, was that it was an 'add on' item only available if you ordered other stuff worth more than £20.....Couple more CDs for Phil, then. ...Hey Ho !

Just standards, finishing off, sorting mistakes and basing to do now on these conquistadors!

Added some highlights to some confederate infantry

Take care

Just re-started scratch building some habitation units and terrain for KR-16 as I will be demoing the rules at Blast-Tastic.

Holiday time. I'm staring bleakly at the empty postbox....

It does......

HUZZAH !

Cheers - Phil

What is this slowing down device then?

A 'plug in' dimmer switch, Forbes.

Works a treat.
Its 'maximum wattage' is over twice the wattage of the Dremel......So I hopefully won't burn the house down. 

Cheers - Phil

Cunning, so it just drops the power getting to the dremmel, so it goes slower.

That's the kiddie, Forbes !

The very first 'mini drill' I had way back when, only had two speeds......Off and full blast.
I used a little transformer to vary that one......So I thought the 'dimmer' ought to work.
Hadn't seen one that you could put a mains plug into, until I had a ferret around the other day.

It was only around a fiver.....So if it does burn out eventually, I don't mind buying another one.

I've got about 8 or 10 speeds on my wire-free Dremel -shows how often I use it nowadays- varying from slow and sedate all the way up to to BLOOOOODDDDDYYYY HHHEEELLL!!! as the thing screams like a demented banshee on drugs! I've never had it up to full revs, which is lucky as I would probably lose my hearing and the local canine population would do a runner for the nearest hills -in this case the North Downs!

Finished the Spanish after a quick game tonight. Started 3 42mm figures as prizes/generals for a FogR event in June.

I've supposedly got umpteen adjustable speeds on mine.

The slowest speed WAS behaving itself up until a couple of days ago, but then seemed to speed up drastically, to WAY faster than I wanted.
I've got a feeling that a tiny piece of white metal has got into the works, and is making the variable connection jump to 'middle speed' straight away.

I'd take it apart and give it a clean, but the last time I did that with an old Dremel, I had SO much trouble getting it back together.......(Parts 'jumped out'.).....That I thought I'd try the dimmer switch option first.

Don't really want to buy a new one, if I can get this one to work as I want.
