@horati0nosebl0wer yes there are definitely too many shiny kickstarters, and never enough hobby time or raw cash to burn on them all. Even if I’m not backing a KS I do get a bit of a smile when one I’m keeping an eye on successfully funds. Hah, Bandcamp. have been doing well so far not to set up an account with either them or Beatport. But I know someday I will give in. It’s just getting so hard to chase down tangible media. Embassytown? Hadn’t heard of it – sounds like an interesting read from the brief blurb I’d read – will add to the ‘to read’ pile 🙂 Favourinte silver age animes? Heh, no need to be polite – bases aren’t quite finished. Was initially thinking of adding snowdrift detail but now I’m thinking I’ll go for yellowed flock and cold-burned grass tufts to sort of hint that they are further north rather than going for mini snow banks… The force is designed to integrate with the Cult of Ulric list so if you are seeing that similarity I’ll call it a win, cheers  🙂  50 points for post responses to all.

@blinky465 well if you can get parts within a day I guess it’s not too much of an issue. I sort of hit the default assumption that anything I’m going to need will be a week away by post at best. Oooh auto bed levelling is so much better than manual. You will never get tired of it 🙂 Hey that printer sounds like it was a bit of a steal at that price (missing screws notwithstanding). yes, always trust Duncan. And yes, stuff takes even longer to print when you have to keep one eye on how the job is running 😛 Nice progress on the MOTU. No love for Skunkor? That’s probably for the best 🙂 50 points for responses, hobby progress and 3DP assembly 🙂

@limburger Ah classic cubicle Conan 🙂 Er, still a ways off 60 minute prints – the job I’m repeatedly running presently is a 21 hour 150mm wall section… 20 points.

@robert glad you have a well detailed ‘to do’ list on your blackboard 🙂 That terrain looks pretty good! Is the Abyssal Dwarf just because, or part of a larger project? I do quite like those minis… 30 points for hobby progress and responses.

@mage nice progress! Really like that burnished gold. Keen to see them all ranked up for the mandatory group shot once you have the force done to your satisfaction 🙂 50 points for hobby progress.

@rayzryr can you perhaps invest in a new can and port the new nozzle between the existing ones? Yeah, going to stock up on Simple green on my next Bunnings run. And look for some of that adhesive window frosting @lloyd had on this week’s XLBS. The mirrored one looks like a great way to do scratchbuilt high rise office buildings in Cyberpunk tabletops. Not that I’ve ever thought of doing something along those lines of course…. Congrats on finding Conquest locally! Good to hear some DA reinforcements are inbound. I might have to wander about the mall at some stage in the near future… 20 points.

@woldenspoons in our collective defence I do have a few historical projects queued up but I’m having this odd sort of mental block where I want the historicals to look good so I’m too nervous to progress them. It’s silly I know, but that’s why I’ve gone back to mass painting 20 year old starter box GW sculpts that don’t really matter if I overstep etc. I really need to at least get my 2 Napoleonic Sharp Practice (British and French) core forces to tabletop (and retouch my 95th rifles – not happy with where they are presently sitting). I think once I get a few games in it might spark my motivation… 20 points.

Got placeholder bases on my 6 characters tonight, and hit them and the artillery with a matt spraycoat. Will detail the abses for the whole project this w/e time permitting then move on to the cavalry…
