Great results! The white printer is applied from above so it settles on the same areas that light would and gives great definition and shadow to the figure, ready for painting

Mags, what's the old rule? Pics or it didn't happen  :pok:

OK, you got me  :rofl:

I'm finding it difficult to post pictures on my phone and my laptop is on its last legs.

Any tips?

Ronnie Corvid? Well, that is something to crow about Mags! Thats some great work and some very left field subjects. Love it!

This time round I'm finding posting stuff from my phone or tablet pretty easy.  The Samsung allows you to resize the photo without having to use a 3rd party app. Pop me a PM if you'd like me to embarrass myself further by trying to explain ;)

Now that Mags and I have finished geeking....for now, I'll get back to the challenge.

Yesterday was opening packages again. This time I really was tempted to get a knife. The scissors are fine for a short use, but you soon find yourself wanting something more ergonomic.

Today was more interesting. I needed to replace the battery on a G-Shock I'd gotten of ebay yesterday.  The wee sim card tool was very useful in releasing the battery holder, and hitting the reset button

Today I managed to close it in such a way that the closing side on the pliers end grabbed onto and squeezed some skin flick in my hand. Swearing didn't help, but not for lack of trying. It proved surprisingly difficult to get it to loosen up as I could only grab proper onto it with my other hand.  And It is not made for single handed opening.

I can confirm that the springs that keeps it closed are painfully good their job. I can also confirm that this is probably a very clumsy feat which I take full credit for.

No, there won't be any pictures. I'm not sure I can repeat if I tried, and I certainly don't want to!
