You can get a lot more lead in an 80L box if you melt it down and recast it into regular shaped bricks...

And if still you run out of space you can sell it to Iain and then buy it back later at only 25% markup

In fairness to me it is a lead, plastic, resin and MDF pile and a relic of me being used to having a 20ft x 30ft room just for storage in the past and I could happily fill a box and a half with prizes from the painting comps I did when I was young and interesting.

Full marks to Hatton's railway modelling supplies, who seem to have acquired GZG's wormhole-tech for deliveries: Yesterday I was finishing off a load of trees (Woodland scenic plastic tree armatures) for Saturday's game, but tragically ran out of 'Foliage Clusters' (the green stuff you stick to the armatures to make it look like a tree) with 26 trees left to go. It was 1500hrs on the Thursday, so I was clearly not going to get any more in time to finish the trees for Saturday, but stuck an order in anyway for more green shit (various)…

I'm not sure how they managed it, but it arrived at 1100hrs today and I had all the trees (117 total) finished by 1400hrs today! :)

They probably don't ship by rail.

It’s only 8:14 here, how is Wales on post 14:00? Have they been forgetting to put the clocks back!?
