Latest Acquisitions (2023)

Here's my latest acquisition, nothing exciting but I thought I'd try it out, which I haven't yet!

Who knows how long it'll last?!

Had one of these for a couple years now.....worth its weight in GOLD! I have found it to be invaluable in my figure painting, which is not often but a must have when I'm in the groove. Well done and you won't regret it. :thumb2: :thumb2:

Fingers crossed Rick, I've seen them before but never thought much about it.

I’m sure that will come out really well Paul, despite the bubble eyes…..sculpting is excellent isn’t it. It also strikes me that flats, which are only ever seen from one angle, should be a great candidate for the Non Metallic Metal painting technique

Yeah, thanks for that, Tim...

What is that anyway, a prototype COVID test?

Plus one on these…..I’d guess at a brush cleaner, but could be miles off…..

Yeah, well - they all appeared to be moving and there was an extra set of track marks - so maybe I did jump to a premature conclusion! Sorry :disappointed2:

You missed the little squaddie with his pick making the tread marks behind them...

Inspired by the flats at Figure World North 2023, I purchased this from El Greco Miniatures. I don't know what scale it is - the panel is c. 15cms x 11cms. Great sculpting, but the finish leaves a little to be desired, with one or two tiny bubbles, and some unfortunate miscasting right in the eyes of one figure. Should be correctable. Painting it, however, is going to be quite a challenge!

If you had a bloke grabbing you by the reigns like that, your eyes would pop!

A bit of a bargain after looking for a charger for a cheap cordless drill I got at a boot sale I chanced across all of these for £30 on ebay even the chargers are £50 to buy on their own [ATTACH=CONFIG]n1203053[/ATTACH]

Bought one the other day to replace my old retired Bosch electric... Charged up the battery, clipped it onto the drill, put the masonry drill bit (also new) in and set to trying to drill a hole into a concrete wall topping - half an hour later 3/4 of an inch into the topping and a flat battery - gave up and got the old Bosch out. B&D drill now passed onto a neighbour....

Tim, correct! It is a brush cleaner, it doesn't look like I'm going to be back at the bench before my hols to try it out, :tired:
