Not much difference, but it feels better. I removed everything from my table top and gave it a clean, wiping away years of dust and little bits of plastic. The first Citadel Metalic Paint, potentially purchased when they were first released, went into storage as I've not used them. Two bottles of solidfied paint thrown in the bin and I didn't even attempt to salvage the droplet bottles. I don't have anything planned for the New Year other than breaking out a new paint brush, but it feels good to have a clean area to paint and make stuff.

Not sure if this is a step up or down from my Bulldog Clips. These were less tight in comparison so they didn't flattened the tube as much. Although a bit more difficult to keep in place as they tend to slip off. Did it's job, but I don't think I will making this a common feature in my HQ.
I was planning to make my own Gamesworkshop Thermic Plasma Regulator when I remembered about the bottles of Super Glue may be perfect. Digging through my box of scrap, I dug this lot out and was suprised how many I had. In total, 14 bottles! Although I'm sure a few of these dried out before I could use the whole content.
The cold days and nights are setting in and I'm holding out from catching anything bad. Although a light sniffle, I've managed to avoid catching anything compared to the rest of my family. However I've not been painting due to other commitments and also the coldness. I have one large Ghaz to do, but I'm saving that for later as my paint brush is fraying and it's time to break out a new one, but also holding out till the New Year. So I'm using it to base paint the concept Ghaz I made. So from memory, this paint brush was first used for my Ork Mechanic so that would make it 2+ years... am I mistaken? So I have four more paint brush out of the original six purchased back in 2017 and no chance I can get these at this price again!
So after a break from painting, I finally got around to starting again about a week ago, but as the bottle of black was getting watery, I remembered this set. I bought it for my son a while ago (potentially a year ago or more), but he then didn't continue to paint. So I broke the seal and took the black. Although slightly thicker than my first bottle of black, it had much more pigment. It also had a ball inside to shake up the paint, but not all bottles inside this box seemed to have it. Worse yet, the paint kept bubbling out the tip while it was upright and I didn't even squeeze it. Also the paint at the tip seemed to dry out too which didn't happen to my old bottle. However some other I previously had (especially the metalic) always had a lot of dry paint on the tip when I open the top.
I've been taking my youngest son swimming and my eyes are full of chlorine making them tired and hard to focus, forcing me to take my glasses off. Although it made things easier, especially while trying to add a nose and ears to my original concept, however once i needed to find something not in front of my nose, I couldnt see. Mixing greenstuff with plastic wasn't easy and I was drilling a hole into a 1.6mm rod with a 0.5 drill bit so I could stuff greenstuff inside to get a more secure hold for my horns. This task was made harder as my Drill bit holder couldn't hold something this thin, so I had to hold the 0.5 drill bit between my fingers. The three balls are intended for the rear of the backpack, one just a ball while two others I tried something different. In hindsight, I should have just waited for it to dry and cut it in half before glueing it onto the round thin plastic. The remaing green stuff was made into a skull, although potentially too small to mount on the of my three Ghaz and looked more like an alien rather than some animal skull.
section also got the pile of thin pieces. The remaining tray (bottom right) although tempting to keep, went into the bin. I just regret I didbn't start counting the pieces as I twezzered each piece at a time into its new location.
