What's on your workbench?

[RMD]

After a hiatus of 12 years, I think it's time to dust off the 28mm AWI and British Grenadier once again. The only trouble is that my GMB flags have faded horribly, so there's going to have to be a major re-flagging exercise!

I'm painting some Blacktree Design dwarves and then decided to give some old GW dwarves a strong tone wash and touch up and highlight

Good man!!! Any particular actions you are planning to refight?

Just starting a new 40mm build, this time an AWI period tavern, based on this one.

Nothing particular at present. Just a few small actions at first, to get back into the rules (White Plains or Freeman's Farm, perhaps?), then build up the collection again (i.e. the bits that Mr Small sold while I was unwise enough to leave them in his possession).

Thus far for the British I have a battalion each of Grenadiers and LI, the Guards Brigade, 17th LD, Queen's Rangers, seven line infantry battalions, the 42nd (Large), two battalions of the 71st and five guns (two of them 12pdrs).

For the Hessians I have three grenadier battalions, a musketeer battalion, a fusilier battalion, Jaeger and two guns.

For the rebels I have two dragoon regiments, twelve infantry battalions, three guns and a load of skirmishers.

In the lead-dungeon I have one more rebel battalion, two British battalions, a Hessian battalion and more guns for both sides.

Some 3d prints...



The larger print bed lets me do some larger prints so 1/150 and smaller 1/100 buildings become feasible.

[Spanner]

Those came out very nicely, Doug.

I haven't really looked at 3D printed stuff, apart from a few 15mm modern AFV a mate bought (Tim's never used his printed AFV, just got them painted and ready for a game one day). I'm a bit technophobic, having been a technician and then technical writer (mainly SATCOM/NAV equipment). How do the models/figures stand up to being handled? I assume repair would be easy by using cyanoacrylates?

[DougM]

Hi mate, I am not sure about smaller scale figures, I usually handle them by the bases.

The tank and building models seem pretty robust. I have dropped them onto wood floors without apparent damage. I would say probably more robust than hard plastic. Depending on the resin they seem to retain a very slight flexibility which should make them resistant to snapping.

The plastic used in the fibre extruder machines is extremely tough.
