What's on your workbench?

There are some very talented painters and modellers on this forum. Thanks for sharing, you lot. I take inspiration and occasionally despair at ever reaching anything like the same standards, seeing this sometimes.

They are nice, aren't they?

See what you've done, Willz? You started a fortification race!

[BaronVonWreckedoften]

Since we're almost all of "that certain age" can anyone recall what was the product that "fortifies the over-forties"?

Vodka?

[DougM]

Port surely. I have a vague memory of something called Fortevite or similar?

Phyllosan...but I have no idea what Phyllosan actually was/is!

Beer? Pies? Beer and pies together?

Since posting these on FB, the algorithm has been directing batshit-crazy pages to me about star-forts being ancient power-stations, built by the 'Tartarian Empire' (whatever the fuck that is) and then 're-discovered' by the European powers... They were also apparently 'never' used for military purposes...



There really are some deeply, deeply stupid people out there.

"There really are some deeply, deeply stupid people out there."

And social media gives them a platform to display it..........as well as the self absorbed narcissism of the current culture....
God I feel old..........

I see TSS hasn't listed the fortifications yet in 15mm or 28mm; so how did you buy them?

One of my favourite quotes:

“Social media gives legions of idiots the right to speak when they once only spoke at a bar after a glass of wine, without harming the community... but now they have the same right to speak as a Nobel Prize winner. It's the invasion of the idiots.” ― Umberto Eco: novelist, critic
