Both new printers decided to be absolute swines and gave me spaghetti on one and a Picasso on the other!

I reckon I know what happened on the filament machine. When I sliced it a really weird triangle appeared on the image. I just thought it was a glitch… it coincided with thr layer shift seen in the window. The rest, I believe was some oik forgot to support the windows and doors! As for the resin one, I absolutely haven’t got  a clue. Two of the eight printed fine. The other six were at the level above to the arms being a bit flat. So I re levelled the bed and retried. Same two printed fine, the others were better, but in no ways useable.  I am printing something different just in case.

I may wipe the memory sticks and reformat in case that is having an issue.

Ignore the first paragraph to avoid my new medical woes 😁

Yes I am still limping along, literally limping as it feels like someone has installed a hot plate into each shoe and turned up the heat. Anyway enough of my whining. The one thing that really does help is actually gaming on the console, it takes my mind of things, sadly Painting doesn’t have the same effect, if it did I wouldn’t have anything kept to paint.

I did however print some new miniatures that I am a bit excited about…

The dude on the mount is one of the Erroish tribe. I have also printed off a few more foot miniatures as well as a giant beetle that they use as their transport. Well technically I have two as the first one lost a front leg in a printer issue. I am going to do a bit of Greenstuff repairs and see if I cannot do some form of new leg.

I do love the aesthetics of the Erroish. Desert nomads. These are by Print Minis  their My Mini Factory page can be found Here.

I also spent some time printing off some props for someone’s CosPlay… guess the film!

It’s Geek Club tomorrow so hopefully I will get something painted in that.

So this came in the post yesterday.

I love Bill Making stuff on YouTube. This is his game that is a collaboration with Apocrypha Now. I doubt I will actually build any of the bots within. I just felt it was a good way to support both channels.

This evening I got a pile more Flintloque undercoated for my mate.

I will hopefully get then started ASAP. Probably start with the ghostly bride as it will be an easy win.

There are also some armed police officers from WestWind I think. They are Prussianesque. These are to join this lot…

Tonight I decided to get the static grass put onto the Flintloque  bases for my mate. As that was a bit of a quick job I decided to punch out the Battle System stone walls that I have had sitting on my shelf for a couple of years

Well with the snow, wind before the snow, and then after the snow I am surprised these arrived this month let alone the same day. I got two letters from the hospital that were sent a week apart that arrived today too. The second one said that the appointment in the first letter had been moved back a week.

Well it started snowing a week ago and it eventually stopped today at about 15.00. Last time I left the valley was Tuesday. All schools have been off, buses, ferries and aircraft have been cancelled too.

In all that time I did absolutely sod all hobby wise but I did clear the path a few times every day. Where I didn’t clear it we had 25cm (about 10 inches) of snow. The drifts up the track and along the roads were about twice that height.

We are classed as a category 3 road… we get done three days after it snows. Every year they turn up on the third or fourth day and end up in a ditch… this year was no different!!!

The other odd thing here is they grit but never put the plough blade down to ground level! This isn’t having a dig at the drivers as they do an amazing job. They are following orders. Snow like this and last year are unusual… last time was evidently 1993.

This was following the snow plough.

So because this is Shetland it is all meant to be gone by teatime tomorrow… 6°C and heavy rain. I took this photo at 15.15 today. I will take a comparison shot, same time tomorrow.

This evening I did manage to get the bases of these covered… when they are dry some of them will get snow added! As if I haven’t had enough of the bloody stuff…

Oh yeah because I am a total pillock I forgot about these…

I will flock them up tomorrow.

Nearly there….

I just need to paint the rims and I an going to call them done.

The snow came with a vengeance today. Put down a couple of inches in a short time. I took this photo before it came in. I really liked the effect on the water. This is an unedited image.
