A few...

Pants !

Got the Dremel apart....Cleaned it....(Nowhere near as much crud inside as I was expecting.).....Took 3 goes to get it back together properly.....It still sounds sick (and slow), so I've ordered another, which should turn up on Tuesday.
It still 'sort of works', but seems to get very hot, very quickly.  .....Something's catching inside, I'm sure. (Probably because something's distorted slightly.)

I think it's been dying for a few months, so not totally unexpected....It has been working VERY hard in recent times.

Now to go and see if I can find the old one.

Memo to Leon, DONT LET LEWIS PLAY WITH POWER TOOLS, HE ONLY BREAKS THEM.

I played with an electric pump today.
I didn't hurt myself......But I got very wet, cos I hadn't tightened the jubilee clip properly.

The Bethlen hussars are nearing completion; soon be doing the Nadasty regiment, and my Austrian army will have its full complement of light horse.

Is it old age catching up with you?

Misread that as frightened !

I suppose I was frightened.....Because I had a few seconds panic, trying to stop it spewing water everywhere.
(Mostly over me.)

Langensaltza finished and ready to play on Tuesday. First half of Bragg's corps completed and ready to base for Shiloh. I am hoping to take this particular game to the BBB Bash Day.

Funny, I was playing with water and electrically too, today. Our old reliable electric shower finally died yesterday after many years of loyal service but, luckily, I had a spare, a fancy electronic one, which I was able to fit today as a replacement. Unfortunately, I had a little trouble uninstalling the old one. Long story short, I gave a nut welly, twisting it the wrong way causing a nice wee leak and water here, there and everywhere! 

Must be down to age indeed!

Still not sure I've fixed it right .....   

15bases of Poles sand/pva'd tonight.
28 stands of Later Romans base coated and inked too.
Bed time!

Spray matt varnished my Warband / Warmaster Witch Hunters this morning

Pics to follow at some point...

Right, that's the Austrian light cavalry force ready for action (funny how they all speak Hungarian). Prussian hussars en garde.
