I recently had a 2 poor experiences with other outfits that cost me $. Latest one is a manufacturer who is out of stock of a lot of items, they say they canāt say when, even roughly, they will restock. How can a manufacturer have no idea of that?

Great thanks, what size grass do you use on your 6mm bases?
Steve Thompson (@stevet100.bsky.social) reply parent
Hi Gareth basing my first 6 mm army and thinking to use a static grass applicator with 2mm flock. For 15 & 28 mm models I have just sprinkled 4 or 6mm grass by hand and was happy with it. How do you flock your Viking & Samurai bases?

What rules are you using? I inherited a load of 6mm Cold War minis from a mate who sadly passed away. Not a period I play but first step is to find some rules I like.
Steve Thompson (@stevet100.bsky.social) reply parent
Awesome. Backed!
Steve Thompson (@stevet100.bsky.social) reply parent
Ah cool didnāt know that option existed. Ta question asked!
Steve Thompson (@stevet100.bsky.social) reply parent
Iād like this but fear the postage cost to NZ. Canāt ask a postage or weight question unless I back it apparently?
Steve Thompson (@stevet100.bsky.social) reply parent
Is it completely your design or based on anything documented? Looks awesome

Genuine question. Why is it possible for someone like this get elected governor of a state?

Napoleonic question. At Leipzig weāre Cheval Leger light cav Austrian and French regiments armed with lances or sabres?

I have a 12V deep cycle gel battery, solar charger and 10w solar panel. works ok except battery only charges at 12.9 V as the solar panel only produces 600mA at 20V. if I supply 6A to controller it reaches 14.4v. I donāt want a bigger panel, will the battery be damaged if itās charging at 12.9v ?

I am looking for an Atlas of the ACW. I have big format books for the AWI and the Peninsular War. Iāve fit his for the ACW. www.thenile.co.nz/books/stephe... Does anyone have it? Would you recommend it?
Steve Thompson (@stevet100.bsky.social) reply parent
I thought so too. Strange but true!

Actually 1/6000!
Steve Thompson (@stevet100.bsky.social)
MÅrena all! Got some 1/300 BoB aircraft. Canāt be faffed to select individual paints. Vallejo do a BoB paint set but itās for airbrush. Anyone ever applied airbrush paint with a normal brush? Obvs itās thinner but with a white undercoat it might make the colour brighter which is better at 6mm scale.

@toofatlardies.bsky.social Hi can I get an invite to the BTH discord server please.
Steve Thompson (@stevet100.bsky.social) reply parent
Awesome thanks Alex. Iāve emailed virtual lard for an invite ta
Steve Thompson (@stevet100.bsky.social)
@soswargaming.bsky.social hi Alex just watched your BTH showcase vid and you mentioned the stl files were in the lardy discord. I searched for Jim Weir? And stlās but couldnāt find anything. Do you have the link ?
Steve Thompson (@stevet100.bsky.social)
Hi STL file gurus. If I buy an STL file with a personal license I guess I canāt ask a printing service to print it for me? I have seen a file pack with 21 ww2 plane types but I only need 4 types now. I want the pack as there are planes for other theatres I can use when I get a printer. Am I right?
