Reading Material

Well after a week of Snow, I eventually got some post, okay it was secreted in a car at gge top of the track but the postie made it song. Strange but true, the post office up here don’t put winter tyres on as standard to ghfir vehicles!

Anyway her are my different locations for Silver bayonet…

I had a quick flick through and will have a proper read through when I get the cotton wool out of my head.

Time for an Upgrade

Well yes, I know I am under the weather, but I don’t actually mean me.

I have been 3D printing for years, first with the filament machine and the with the Resin. I am on my second filament and third resin (one died on me so I got my money back. When I first started with the resin I used a turntable and a large UV light. Two pots tor cleaning etc. It worked, but wasn’t the most efficient. Eventually in the back end of 2020 (I think) I went for a wash and clean station. I Am now wondering if it is time for a bit of an upgrade. The spinner still spins, but I am more concerned about the strength of the lights… I honestly don’t know how long they should last, but the machine has been hammered for nearly four years. As Black Friday is coming up then I thought that might be the best time to get a new one. The choice I have is an all in one or a separate light and wash system.

I shall ponder some more, Amazon tell me they will be kicking off their sale on the 21st.

Listen to Advice

Well you know if your Significant Other, family or even your line manager tell you to take a day or two off instead of running yourself into the ground  then it is a really good idea yo listen to them.

I cam back from the Doctor with a sick note until 30th November..  why, well primarily because I don’t listen to advice but in the min because I have a nasty chest infection. 2 weeks of antibiotics and also I have been ordered to up my steroids again.

So all in all best to listen to advice.

It saves a whole lot of ‘I told you so!’

Geek Club Sponsorship

Well it is that time of year that I force the kids to write to various companies asking for things for the club

Last year The Army Painter and GW helped out. GW have already sent me a box of things.  I will try Army Painter again. They were super generous last year.

I am happy printing things but was considering asking some other companies  for some plastic stuff.

My first thought was Wargames Atlantic. I think more fantasy/sci fi would be better. Does anyone have any other ideas. I will try Greenstuff World for paint again, but they weren’t interested last time.

Spent most of the day in bed today so no painting tonight.

Geek Club Success

Well today was the first of the official Geek Club MKII. I had twelve of the thirteen turn up. The other wasnt feeling too good. Pretty much everyone got their mushroom dude either finished or nearly finished. Some decided to add flock to their base and others took them home.

I believe they enjoyed themselves… we will see next week!

Because I am a pillock, I forgot to photograph their hard work. So here is the  sun rising over the hills on the way to work…

Miniatures in a Box

There certainly isn’t Mushroom in it…

Fifteen miniatures done for tomorrow’s Geek Club. We always start on the same one to help me show them what to do.

I do have another nine that got undercoated this evening. Unfortunately some of the bases hadn’t cured properly so I will blast them with the light tomorrow.

Geek Club MkII

So this evening I got in at 21.30 because of a parents evening. I also needed fuel and needed to det the horse in. All in all, I really couldn’t be bothered to do much.

I did manage to get the last five miniatures off  the printer for the new Geek Club.

Instead of an armed and dangerous teddy bear I went with a mushroom dude.

I just noticed it was blurry. He is one of a number from a new kickstarter I noticed and jumped on board to get some cool stuff for the club. I have thirteen signed up so far.

BLEURGH

That about describes how I feel this evening… sadly no painting, building or even rule reading. I did however manage to 3D print some miniatures for the new Geek Club at the end of the week.
