Application, took a bit to load the tip. Instructions are minimal. Application is very easy, great for edge highlighting as you use the side of the brush. Dots good as no tip spread. It’s a bit big to squeeze into small spaces. Definitely like you can paint none stop. Useful on a big model. 👍

So I bought one of these speed markers at Brit Con. interested in how it covers but more importantly how it lasts. Can you use it infrequently? Will it just dry up ?? Date stamp 1/10/26

Sometimes you just have to stop and walk a way for a bit.

Yesterday we spent the day at St Michael’s mount. Finished we an exceptional meal at Newlyn bay. Highly recommend Tolcarne Inn.

Had a particularly crappy few days. Said goodbye to this hero today. 16 years in our family she will be sadly missed.

In fact many tiny decals applied but then that’s Audey Murphy, Dick Winters and my additional 82nd Airborne done. Just need basing and varnish 👍

Preorder window extended! Coming to Tabletop Scotland this weekend? We can't carry everything with us to a show so placing a preorder is the best way to guarantee you get the MDF goodies you need. Head to www.warbases.co.uk and get your order placed today to avoid any disappointment on the day.

The AK sea foam is difficult to use. Once it’s dry I’ll try and blend it in slightly on the sea side of the breakers 🤔

Things I’ve learned and would like to share. Never accidentally click airplane mode on your PC. If like me you have a wireless keyboard and mouse the PC now can’t talk to them to take it out of airplane mode and both now don’t work 🤬

Literally painting 5mm squares one at a time. The skeleton horde contrast paint works well on the sails though.

Not the relaxing hobby everyone thinks it is. Blimey what a fiddly bastard. There must be an easier way to paint these 🤬🤔
