A Brief Interruption To Our Program...

Christmas 2017 my family bought me some packs of the Warlord Games Dr Who figures. While I was getting my DBA armies ready for Cancon, I looked at these sitting on the shelf and felt I should make a start on them some time.

10 minutes later I was assembling and undercoating Cybermen and Daleks.

So I managed to finish the Cybermen fairly quickly. Maybe when I come back from Cancon I will finish the Daleks - they are at least undercoated and ready to go...




So much for the plan mentioned last post. I now return you to our original program...

2019 Already!

Well, time does fly by. I have a been a bit remiss in not posting for a while, but I finally have time to write a post about some projects I have on the desk.

First up, a 3D printing update. I have learnt the hard way that like other electronic devices, 3D printers need to be unplugged during storms. At least it was only the power pack that died. That said, I am know having clogging issues every second print. Today I completely dismantled the extruder, cleaned out a lot of burnt plastic and re-calibrated the unit. It is know running a long print job so we will see if I have been successful. It is what I get for boasting to a friend, who was having a lot of clogging issues, that I was not having any problems.


The printing and painting of dungeon tiles continues with my display area slowly taking shape. Also working on some ruins I printed to be used for DBA / Triumph terrain pieces.


This year I plan to complete some (very) long standing figure projects. However my Wife pushed in first and had me prepare some Christmas themed figures for her.



For myself, over the next couple of months, I hope to complete some 15mm Spartans, a couple of 28mm roleplaying figures, and another Skeleton for my Undead skirmish army, although he is a bit on the large size.





And finally, I also plan to finish a keep I want to use as a camp for this year's DBA competition at Cancon, though to use a quote from TV - Write the plan, execute the plan, plan fails, create a new plan....


Hopefully I will post again at the end of the month after the annual trip to Cancon.
