Do you truly believe that hasn't been tried ?

No just trying for a cheap laugh.   

How about all us non-kickstarters ask for our money back until he reveals the secret?

My personal putties of choice are......Kneadatite (Green-stuff) .....Magic Sculp...(which I'll mix with the G/S to produce a very soft, light green coloured putty.).....and Milliput.

Miliput?  How 'old school'.  I thought I was the only person still using it.  What do you use it for?  I find is good as a filler and for large models.  Never had much success using it for 10mm stuff though. 

I have news from the distant shores...

"Well, that brown stuff I'm using is called, er, Brown Stuff. Yes, really. Available from eBay, but they send it from Spain. The blurb says it's 'better for beginners' - so I thought I should switch!

Seriously, it is very good, I would say a bit stiffer than Green Stuff / Duro, and sets harder, so doesn't require Milliput to be separately mixed & added to it as I usually do. The real determining factor however is not the putty, but the weather. The temperature really. And how much sleep I've had!"

Ohhhhhh !

The Kneadatite 'Brown stuff' I've used in the past, looks a fair bit darker once mixed.....But it certainly sets 'harder' than Green stuff.....It's actually quite brittle, once it's set.
It is/was a lovely putty to work with....VERY easy to smooth....But 'goes off' faster than I really like.....(I'd waste even more of that.)

But.....

Last time I tried to get some.....I was really put off by the price....It WAS around the same price as G/S.....But instead of the best part of a metre of G/S, you'd get around 10cm of Brown stuff for the same amount of dosh !!

I know there are quite a few places that sell shorter strips of G/S......But THAT is an expensive way to buy it, if you get through as much as I do.

Good to know, anyway.

Cheers - Phil.

See - you only had to ask   

Nah......

Leon just made that up, just to keep me from asking the same question, over and over again.

Well you can be a tad repetitive Phil 

There's the pot calling the kettle...

When are the Brits going to be in the shop for sale?
If the Line & Light Infantry are ready then these are the bulk of a Brit army  I'd like to make a start on painting them that would encourage me to try out the optimum size for a table, be it in 6x4 or 6x5 or 6x6 modules. My garage is 19'X19' interior measurements.

These days I have trouble getting into  under table cupboards so all this has to do with space around the table. Previously I've had a 6x16 table but usin AoE rules meant unles I was replaying Borodino I didn't actually need that size so i have an indoor 6x4 table and found this last year small games needing depth and at brigade level playing scenarios I don't need the width so hence the trying out  one night games played in 2 to 3 hours. 3 being the maximum.
I thought if I can do that with DBMM I can do it with Napoleonic.

We're probably looking around September time I think?  I need to have a catch-up with the sculptor and see where we are at the moment.

That is a shame.  They have slipped by about 10 months then, COVID notwithstanding.  Does this mean that the Spanish and Portuguese will be even later?

Dragoon was asking when they'd be on the website, so that would be after all the sculpts are done and posted out to the original backers.  Once that's done they'd be added to the website, which I think will be roughly September time.

Oh I see.  Any idea when the backers will see them?

Soon hopefully!  I've not spoken to the sculptor since we started the move so I need to check in and see how he's getting on.  I'd hope that he's spent the past 2 months working through all of the Brunswickers and Portuguese, maybe some of the Spanish as well.  The British are all moulded so we can start sending those out soon if folks want them.

The first test casts of the buildings arrived last week as well:

Those buildings look superb .

 The buildings look really good.

Thanks for that.  I would rather wait until they are all ready but happy to fall in with the majority. 

The bulings look really good !
