A painter and gamers work never seems to be done. The man cave is a hive of productive activity, I reckon I have about another 6 weeks of decent time before other things will encroach on my cave time for a few months. Having cleared out a huge chunk of work for the Sudan I am looking to maximise the effort to try and get the figures I want for it all completed. To that end I have been placing orders with suppliers and they have been turning up across this week.
Warbases MDF pre cut all received.
A top up with 6 new boxes of tufts from Tajima
A pile of Really Useful boxes in 4,7 and 9 litre sizes to store it all, moving it across from the wooden trays, making it all stackable and easily transportable.
While in the queue at Post Office this morning I spied this toy train sitting on a far off shelf...all of £4... The "Wargames Magpie" in me could not help myself..this will do nicely with a bit of modification for the Sudan too.
After my last lot of airbrush work I have decided to replace my old , cheap compressor with a nice new , more capable one.i used it this week for the first time.. And it's excellent , steady flow, no moisture, and very quiet.
It's going to be a busy weekend cracking on sorting things out on the preparation table.
And making a dent on the painting table.
I will see you on the other side..wish me luck.
Lots of goodies there Dave.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll be investing in a decent compressor for my airbrushing at some point - the Smart Jet Pro was certainly on my list of options. By the way, what airbrush do you use? I'm definitely thinking of upgrading to a double-action one now that I've had a play and found the limitations of my single-action jobby.
A good airbrush is worth it , especially for camouflage, large numbers of items etc. mine is an Iwate Eclipse HP/SBS ..with side feeds. Had it 10 years or so .. It's still going strong I don't think they make it any more,, but there are near equivalents. I prefer a side feed rather the a top cup or bottom feed .. Personal choice and experience with other designs ..the Iwata is IMHO the best..
DeleteWhat a load of stuff to get on with Dave, will look out for all your new creations. Brilliant buy at the post office!
