What's on the Bench? 2021

[Mini Me]

The Battery box has arrived....now you see it........now you don't. I surface mounted the switch on the backside to hide it from view. Learning a lot about micro LED's, Resistors and 38 gage wire that will fit inside of the .018" stainless tubing that will form into the "Goose neck" light fixtures I have in mind.

[Mini Me]

They are yours and a bonus one to make it a handful......just in case one malfunctions......made in China you know. :thumb2: I'll send them out on Monday. Rick H.

On the paint bench.....
Working through my twenty man goblin spear unit.....

First lot painted, varnished, metallic sparkles added so ready for basing.


Second batch. Faces, boots and leggings done, tunic and armour underway....


Third batch. Zenithal priming done. They will be mounted ready to paint when the second batch come off.....

....and on the build bench....

Next unit, ten archers, built, based, and ready to prime...

As I said, I don’t post everything as a build thread because it would get a bit samey ..... after these I’m going to do some historicals, a Perry miniatures Sudan colonial era heliograph section for a change of pace.

Thanks Andrew. Not quite is the answer, I am about twenty short on the paints, plus a few of the technicals. I don't like the model colour metallic paint, so only have silver in that set. Most of my metallic paint is Darkstar, though I have recently invested in a couple of newer game colour metals to try out. (They are superbly smooth in use). I’m sad enough to keep them in the order shown on the colour charts though :tongue-out3:
I actually have far too much paint, with an extensive range of Tamiya for spraying, loads of old Humbrols that are still useable, a good range of oils, and quite a few heavy body acrylics.......there are some other odds and sods around as well, such as Xtracrylic and Modelmaster....most modellers build up a stash....I have enough model paint to decorate a bedroom......

PLEASE take a picture of your painting set up so I can demonstrate to my wife I have nowhere near enough paints.... :smiling3:

[Mini Me]

That's asking for trouble Andrew! .......Nice collection of paints Tim..........I'm totally Pissed at Testor's for deleting their Model Master line of enamel WW2 colors for the Luftwaffe and Wehrmacht.........have been using it for over 35 years!! Just chaps my A**!! Rick H.

[Tim Marlow]

If we were in the same country you could have the Testors enamels I have Rick....there aren’t many, but they are all Wehrmacht.

Will do Andrew, though I might find it a tad embarrassing!

Think we all accumulate paint over the years, some more than others :flushed:
Although I don’t have any complete sets, I do have a variety of mediums. I still have all my original pots of Games workshop paint from the early 90’s too !!
