What's on your workbench?

I think I am behind the curve.

Orcs. Greeks. Basing time.

Just finished a batch of Russian armour for our 1941 games. T26 & BT5s make a change from the ubiquitous T34 hordes I'm used to.

Also some much delayed jungle pillboxes and a batch of sci-fi figures and scenery. Next? Whatever is in the pile!

Just painted a rather crappy and miserable rendition of a Landsknecht flag in French service

Fortunately found some on ebay that look much better and have parted with some cash
The colours on mine seem so muted, presumably because I was just using ordinary printer paper

[grizzlymc]

Best to get someone with a colour laser to print your flags they don't fade and the colours are bright and the detail superb.

I always touch up gold and silver on printed flags though.

Technically not on my workbench (you'll see why in a minute), but putting together some 1:700 S-Boats and MTBs for a game on Thursday. I think the game might be postponed whilst I (a) find all the tiny bits that pinged out of my tweezers onto the floor (see above), and (b) recover from the swearing fit that had a neighbour ring the front door bell to see if I'd had a (real) accident!

[grizzlymc]

Did you put the busybody neighbour to work finding the little bits?

[goat major]

(a) find all the tiny bits that pinged out of my tweezers onto the floor

the bits know. They will only reappear once you have cancelled the game or abandoned the project.

I put a sprue off-cut in their place. That showed the wee feckers!

[Ilkley Old School]

Finished a Blucher yestrday.
