My good lady came across this little gem.

The 14th century but sounds somewhere between Yorkshire and Newcastle.

This evening I decided to try the tuft glue and flock box. Not sure what I did but I got a couple of little shocks from it. I will contact them and see what they say.

This is my first attempt using it…

The glue is still wet here so they look a bit weird.

I also managed to get this little chap finished in the Geek Club…

So as the title says I am feeling a few twinkles short of a rainbow this evening. I have got things out and put them back so many times that I reckon I have burned all if the calories from my evening meal.

Hopefully tomorrow I will get something done. Its club night so I am going to attempt to go. Probably the safest bet us drive straight past home and head into Lerwick.

They are playing Grimdark Future by One Page Rules… so I have been mooching about to see what I have and voilà…

One small problem… I hate putting plastic miniatures together… I have also got this lot already painted though!

Something to ponder

Well I went down another rabbit hole this evening looking at my family photos from before the 50’s and I came across this photo…

It almost looks like there is a tyre on the big wheel. The peaked caps make me think interwar, but it is a period I know very little about.

The other problem is I don’t know if the photo shows the front or the back!

All in all I am stumped!

Sorry Peeps I totally forgot to put you out of your misery…

So this was my Tupperwear lid after I microwaved my lunch. These shapes are condensation as it formed on the lid.

I thought it looked pretty cool….

So we are into January and Fire Festival season is upon us. First up is the Scalloway one. This is the one I usually go and watch. Well my mates house is on the route and they have their Birthday on the 11th so they always combine the two.

Only a couple of photos as for some reason my phone camera started going all blurry.

So I really doubt that I will get anything done on the witch hunters this evening.

Well as you know I found my copy of Campaign Cartographer 3 last night so I dropped an email last night to Pro Fantasy Software to see if they could help. Ralf emailed me today and by time I got home he had found my old email address that I had registered it with.

So the million dollar question is how much did it cost to upgrade to allow me to use it on my new machine. Just under £13.00. I couldn’t have bought a CD drive for that.

So a big thank you to Ralf over at Pro Fantasy software for his speedy sleuthing. Look out for random maps in the future.

Because I haven’t got a suitable picture you can all play guess what the bloody hell this is…. taken with a microscope…

Personally I think it is rather interesting!

I had a mooch on the ProFantasy page to see how much it would cost to replace my version of the Software as it went years ago… evidently it hadn’t.

My one is on CD, the new one would be a download. I think it will be £20 to upgrade. Either that or I spend £20 getting a disk drive just to run this, if it will!

I was at my daughters parents evening earlier and didn’t get in until 21.00. They are still sorting out the power lines so the power was off from 10.00 to 19.00 today so sadly no painting.

Yesterday I was doing a bit of printing and had some failed prints, I emptied the vat as there were some bits adhering to the FEP. It looked a bit worse for wear. But after a clean and a leak test I did a reprint. For whatever reason the FEP failed on print two. Luckily for me the leak cured and blocked the hole so I had some cured resin on the screen luckily only about the size of a penny… phew!

Tonight was FEP replacement time…

I did two of the three vats. Tomorrow I will re level the print bed and have another go at the prints.

I also decided to try a map this evening… so a bit of mindfulness colouring later I had this…

So just as I was adding the colour to the bottom of the map it hit me… I did a map online and copied it… why didn’t I just print out the online one?

I thought i would get a bit painted this evening,but it wasn’t to be. I went to bed early and watched the new Pinnochio. It was a cracking film that I thoroughly enjoyed. I never read the book so don’t know how true to the original it is.

I do like a bit of stop, motion animation and this was excellent.
