20mm tower and China cops

A comms tower from Gamescraft. From my pile of shame, shame to table.

Ebay specials, 6 bucks. No I did not need more cops. 3D prints from china. Ebay said stateside. They came from china and they are 23mm scale. Not 25, 23. Listed as 20mm or 1/72.

Normally everyone is mounted on a US nickel or 3mm 20mm square mdf. If I put the chinamen cop on a 20mm circle dude, it shaves the height difference just enough.

Bought

440 3D prints + 100 paint + 175 buildings + 60 Epic Forumware, 2 books printed, 75 Pirates, 6 20mm vechiles + 120, China cops + 6 at $1016

Sold 40 Epic + 40 Pirates, FW buildings + 2500.00 at 2580

I am going to smash this blooding thing

Well its killing me. Every time I am home for a day or two. I have tried to get this bitch to print. It fails right away or fails half way thru. I have FEP, homed, releveled. Nothing. So......

Die MoF, Die. I ordered a Mars 5. It was recommended by a print God, Brian. Azamon for 190.

Its a little funky to level the bed. There are 4 screws on springs that adjust height. But inside there are four more connecting each other and the other 4. I ended up taking the four spring screws completely out, going to home. Then 1/4 tightening them until level.

After that turn on and print. Which it did. No issues.

Traveling and painting in 2026 part III

This week started with FFA approval Then Taxes man, taxes. They say bigger returns, I got a bigger bill. The PennDot experience coupled with the VA.

It is a Staybridge this time, double point plus 3k a night. I have 20mm Cartel and pirate colonial spanish infantry with me.

No minis this trip to Cali. No cigars either. I had to bring the giant tool box. Hopefully I left some at the office there the last time. Delta 1st and Marriott normal points +2k a day. No clown show at the airport. I walked straight on.

Then Back to Cali to baby sit twice. Holiday Inn double point plus 5k a night. I had stuff with me. But all the 12 hour trips back and forth are killing me. I would get back to the hotel, skip dinner and sleep.

This week is Intel for an install. I painted. I had a nice desk lamp. Intel is not ready, home I go to return next week. I did get 10 pounds of Elk!!!!!

Black Scorpion stuff

No more resin poured/casted dudes. These guys are printed now. Which aligns with the stls they sell before the minis are available. BS says they scan the original sculps.
