As JAYB didn’t give the last volume a number, I don’t see the need to give this one a number either.
The last volume seemed to have quite a bit of activity since lockdown started.

That is absolutely outstanding. The hot tub one not so much. I don't 'get' hot tubs. Don't see the appeal of having a bath with your mates biggrin
Fine. Don't have a sex pond in your wildlife pond...

How about a BBQ boat instead then?

Thus proving that a lot of PH should not work from home or be bored!

I have a load of bit gathered together to make a wildlife island that floats. Planning on putting plants on there etc. On hold at present until the ducks have buggered off to pastures new. Now wondering how easily I can turn small wildlife island into floating BBQ platform biggrin

The first volume was 'frivolous purchases, stuff you don't need...'
The second was 'More frivolous purchases, stuff you don't need...'
Perhaps this should be 'Yet more frivolous purchases, stuff you don't need...'?

I purchased a 3d printer recently. I covered this in prior editions.
That lead to me printing out a Mandalorian helmet (for the boy, ahem). My printer isn't large enough to print in one go so I will have to build it afterwards. This has lead to the purchase of multiple types of glue, sanding and finishing equipment. Whilst looking at how to finish this off I spotted someone with Star Wars droid models, then an AT-AT. They mentioned that the models were Legion scale. It turns out Star Wars Legions is a tabletop game with miniatures.
So I ordered that, something to do with the boy.

The figures are unpainted and unassembled so I have now had to buy some paint, brushes and other assorted modeling kit.


It has to be 30 years since I painted a miniature.
Wish me luck.

Nice! Local gaming store group are trying to get me into Legions... I'm resisting so far!

Great paint set there - vallejo are lovely to use.

I'm sure you've seen - there's loads of awesome tutorials on YouTube, starting with the absolute basics through to really advanced stuff. I'd recommend getting some games workshop washes - they're liquid talent...

Also, feel free to come into the Warhammer thread in the Models sub forum - some really good painters on there to help give advice and feedback.

Thanks, looked like a good balance of quality and price. It was all Citadel and Humbrol in my day.
I used to be pretty good, worked in a model shop for a few years and the guy who owned it was a national prize winner for military dioramas. I learned a lot. We made our own washes! other things like dry brushing, highlights and lowlights all coming back to me.



Found a load of old Warhammer and 40k stuff in the loft which my son has adopted. That can come next.

Found locally on Facebook marketplace, two old paraffin railway lanterns that a guy was selling from his late fathers collection.

Both have wicks in them which is good, guess I’ll got and get some paraffin and see what they do.

My wife hates them.

Very nice. I used to paint warhammer as a girl, therapeutic I found. I've little patience for it now though.

If you get fed up of the mando build you can buy the prototype Fett helmet from next month I think. As it's white it will make a good base for a Din Djarin lid.

My daughter saw the Amazon delivery Email & thought that WFH & lockdown had driven me towards some kind of fetish
