Speaking of wolves' teeth, detailed painting and general "hussar'dness", do we know how young Purple is these days?

The worst part is... Lining your newly assembled RUB inserts with magnetic sheet to find that the sheets have a magnetic and non-magnetic side... And you stuck them the wrong sodding way...

Self adhesive stuff makes it easier to identify the right side as well. Apparently you put it sticky side down.

They have a matt and a sought shiny side. ALL the others I automatically glued matt side down. Last night I just thought the matt side looked nice and wanted that upwards...

Put the first lot of troops in and then moved the box and watched them slide...

Bollocks, I though... Or possibly muttered... Or even shouted...

New stuff ordered. I won't make that mistake again... For weeks...
