Today, apart from spending over an hour sitting in the doctor’s waiting room for an appointment that was “running 16 minutes late”, I have managed to do a bit more painting.
Today’s colour was Vallejo 70.875 Beige Brown.
Although I like Vallejo paints as a medium, I do not like the way they are bottled. Whenever possible I decant them into old Coat d’Arms pots.
Anyway, this previously decanted paint was applied to:
Irregular Miniatures 2mm “Tiny Town” roads for my “Bomber” project,
Some of the tree trunks on my 3d printed outline woodland for gridded wargames,
House fronts for 3d printed outline BUA for gridded games.
6mm Zulu huts,
6mm Zulu Krall, touching up bare patches of ground,
6mm ex-Confederates, overpainted to become more variegated civilian clothing and hats,
6mm mediaeval crossbowmen, leather jerkins.
Returning indoors from the Shedquarters I found that I need more printed counters for my play by e-mail Market Garden campaign. This time it’s British glider-borne infantry and artillery. So an hour or so at the PC and they are ready to be stuck onto the plastic counters.
I foresee an evening of cutting and sticking as we catch up with series 1 of the BBC drama “Line of Fire” on TV.
General Whiskers' semi-historical wanderings 
The pre-formed villages in ?1:1000? look rather good, General.

While I like the Irregular Miniatures towns and villages designed for reduced scale 2mm wargames I am struggling to produce an aircraft stand that will sit well over them. These towns and villages are not to the 2mm/1:900 scale of the figures, but work with the ground scale of 24x 2mm figures = 600 men. They also fit together as large conurbations or may be used independently.
If I had to guess a scale I would say around 1:6000.
This is an experimental project, but I am tending towards a 2D representations of towns for my “Bomber” project.
