Evidently painted resin pikes aren’t jmpervious to having an empty PLA spool dropped on them from about a metre…
As you can see some miniatures have totally ceased to exist. One base needs the front row replacing. One is complete gone I think as all of the Pikes on the right have gone.
Now the other week I did start pondering on how to replace the pikes in the middle and rear. I was going to use the flexible mixed resin and make only pikes that could be glued in situ. Either individually or in a strip.
Ironically, it happened as I was tidying up my painting station to avoid things getting damaged. I had taken a surplus box of cosplay resources out and put it on a top shelf, dislodging the PLA spool!
What surprised me is that any survived at all.
I will shortly go an sit in a darkened room until the urge to swear loudly and continuously goes away!
Funnily enough I had already taken a photo for tonight’s blog. Evidently it is not a good idea to fix a 2p onto a bit of wood with Copydex as, although it holds well, it leaves a heck of a sticky mess behind when you remove the coin…

Cheers John, Luckily I have some undercoated and bucket loads already printed, it’s that it sets me back ages which is what is galling.

Oh no- that isn’t good.
Plastic broom bristles as replacements?

Sad to see this! Nothing is more demoralizing than having to redo models already painted… Hope you’re not giving up on the project!

Ouch! sorry to hear this mate, I know how you feel I was once putting a box of about a hundred painted 25mm Dwarves up into the loft when they slipped out of my hand and fell down the stairs!! (I still haven’t looked in that box since!! (must be 8+ years ago now).
Cheers Roger.

That’s another good excuse I can use when explaining my messy modelling station Steve, Like Rodger I have had some ill fortune but I have learnt that swearing does not fix them!!
