Weekend toothache hobbying

This week and likely next I have been segregated home by this little bugger in the bottom left of the photo playing up and leading to a disproportionate intake of painkillers as I await an opening for surgery.

Not to sit idly though I concentrated on simple hobby actions I'd been putting off that don't require sitting for a long time or concentrating as painting or model detailing does.

I brought up from for garage felt I'd bought to improve my table and started chipping away at cutting this up.

I have made fields, swampland and forest tiles as well as a river section wide enough for most games and periods.

I'm also using my single bases WW2 figures to proxy development of my sabot base project which is proceeding well.

The FIW figures should be here soon enough to replace these for Sharpe Practice.

If anyone is ever interested in the files I am happy to share.

They suit any 200x200mm plate 3D printer, made in TinkerCAD and available singly, too, for smaller printers like my three Minis I'll have back online when the spares arrive from China.

So that's all that coming along as present.

Time for another ice cold drink and back under the snuggle covers to read as I await the next bout of growth of this tooth and brace for Tuesday to come around!

Sniffles....

10mm Soviet Decaling Test

In my last batch of Pendraken miniatures, Leon included some decal sheets for my WWII collection. The manufacturer is i94 from memory and over the last few years Pendraken has been acquiring different businesses in support of its ranges in the 1/144 space.

Among these are i94, Specialist Military Publishing (the Commander series of rules) and Italian medieval manufacturer TB line (more on this in the future I'm sure....)

Today I experimented with applying decals without using commercially available setting products to see how I like the look and if its worth the expense - so unless I find them on sale I think they won't be joining my arsenal as these decals set quite fine as is for my purpose.
