I am told that sprinkling talc over the supeglue makes a nice filler that is easy to file

I'll try that too; always waiting for the bloody stuff to dry! ;)
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Glad you found it useful.   :)





Beyond that; it's amazing and doesn't create excessive heat.

Brilliant :-bd

Chariots for me which is why I'm so chuffed; superglue is way too slow in some situations, but now...the world.. Mwah hah hah  :d  :d  :d

Ahem, I'm over it  :-[

I also bought some washers to use as bases for Warmaster command units.  I'd previously used 10p pieces as I like the extra weight for what are really small units.

I hunted around and found the size I needed in my local hardware shop; £1 for ten ex VAT.  They had a small hole in the middle which I covered with a piece of card.  It was only when I was waiting for the card to dry that it occurred to me I'd actually spent more on the washers (which were lighter AND had a hole) than the 10p's they replaced! :-[

New thread I think.

My God, yes. Waiting for those fiddly little wheels to bond to the axle. And then finding they're stuck to your fingertips.

Should I be considering Indians to fight my Seleucids and Assyrians?

Take a look at Nik Harwood's 2mm Franco-Prussian armies - very impressive.

Why, thank you  :)

I love 2mm. Not as much as 10mm - but it's close  8)

Wife's shaking her head here as I use the electric nose hair trimmer to trim the static grass on some bases .....
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!
