Daeothar:
So, for all of you with better security than apparently my service provider can offer, here are the pictures, without the waffle... ::)

A good addition to your desk. Anything that reduces the ease of tipping your water over is a good thing.

So last month the stars misalligned and madness took me...
I ordered a laser engraver... first lesson learned before the damn thing even arrived: If you order a diode engraver for wargaming you really really want an air assist* unit on top, because you most likely don't want to surface engrave, you want to cut or even relief engrave.
Now waiting for vacation time to set it up and try my first runs. But already I have questions: Any idea where to buy additional pairs of protective goggles? Do those need some specifications on wavelength of my laser? So the laser needs to be under surveilance because it's (quite understandably) a severe fire hazard but I guess looking straight at it is bad?
*fancy name for a compressor with a tube blowing carbon dust out of the cut

"Army Painter Masterclass Dry Brushes" is the rather pretentious name, but when I saw them I knew exactly how and what for I could use them.
If you do the light directional highlights, i.e up to down, I would say your best choice is a flat, stiff brut with thin bristles. Sometimes however you want to apply highlights with a circular motion, for example when dry brushing ground elements, like flagstones, and then these come in handy.
These brushes have very fine, soft hair but as they are short and set rather densely they old their shape very well. They hold just the right amount of paint and due to the fine hair does not offload streaks or blobs in wiped off properly.
I would not be surprised to learn that they originally come from the cosmetics industry. These set me back about €22 so you may find cheaper substitutes by rooting through your daughters beauty kit.

For me, they have also been a very successful discovery. These brushes have always been there... I bought these dry brushes https://www.greenstuffworld.com/en/359-dry-brushes in a set for 23€, only +1€, and they have 4 brushes instead of 3 brushes.
I've been using them this Christmas and they work very well, they don't break the hair like most makeup brushes.
