I made a factory today, as a change of pace from painting Somalis (51 done, 18 to go...)

Oh sure. Everybody's in favor of saving Hitler's brain, but when you put it in the body of a Great White Shark, ooh, suddenly you've gone too far

Very nice Paul.  :love:

Just be carefull.......some people on Ebay have been know to try and copyright general building designs.  See TMP for a long boring thread on the matter. :lipps:

Coincidentally I saved the pic of (Likely) the same auction with the same idea of making one myself. :)

I painted 96 figures for the War of Spanish Succession last night. Okay, they're 6mm, but it still counts sort of :lol:

B & Q is a dead loss for cork these days. I managed to pic up 3 packs of tiles in the Queensferry one ages ago, they had very few left and they were on sale to get rid of them. This is after buying a pack of the treated tiles by mistake. Those were the 3mm thick ones. I emailed Siesta Cork tiles and they sent me their price list and some samples. This was to get the 9mm thick cork. Reasonable price, about £5 for a pack, but they charge £10 delivery for orders under £50. When I asked at B & Q if they would order from Siesta they didn't want to know. I'm going to try Homebase next.

Only Matakishi could say he built a factory today with such nonchalance. Very cool as always. 8)

damn, Paul, it's just cool, this is exactly the sort of factory I will need soon. Have to try to build it, too.

I had the same result with 2 branches of B&Q, the local one told me to try the big one, the big one told me they don't stock them anymore.

I'll have to see if I can get enough local gamers interested in cork to get in a bulk order.
