Finished ruined belltower…not quite to satisfaction but have started campaign so what the heck. A little work on Ben’s old building, at least the ground floor. First campaign game may be tomorrow night.

Did another quick cast this morning. Thinking maybe I should start storing the cast bricks in the roofline of the garage to really dry them out. Need some more balsa wood sheeting for floors, maybe try and make it around to Acorn Models this weekend.

Got those two new Hirst Arts molds last night. Did a quick cast run this morning and the pieces turned out fine. Incredible how much work Bruce Hirst puts into each mold. No obvious re-use of pieces from previous molds that I can see. Must cast enough pieces and find some use for the fieldstone bridge mold (apart from the nifty hexagonal columns). Flagstone mold will also be very useful I feel.

James around this weekend and he seemed content to spend a fair amount of time in the garage modelling. So threw together first of the ‘Merchant’s Mansion’ houses. Built a couple of small HA ruined wall sections to go with the chimney. Started painting the chimney. Based the HA belltower. Detailed ground floor of Ben’s house and put together two more Zombies for the Undead MH warband.

Ordered a couple more molds from Hirst Arts today, #74 fieldstone bridge and #265 large flagstones while the exchange rate is good. Cost me $127NZ (invoice #4253).

Got back from a week in San Mateo with Palm Source conference. Built up MH free standing chimney. Should also put together some ruined walls for low cover. Bit of Orc painting and only a little more work on HA tower reqd.
