I planned to play Bolt Action and I decided to make some small terrains very quickly. I took the Proxxon, some foam, some old stuff and at the end of the day, it happened.

Cleaning brushes
No matter what, expensive or inexpensive brushes, if you want to keep them long, you have to clean them regularly. You can buy dedicated products or you can use also a product you already use to clean your hands (for 20 seconds).
Castille soap from Dr Bronner is my favorite when it is about cleaning my hands and my brushes. You can dilute the liquid soap or not. You can just use the soap and massage the bristles of the brush until the result you like or let soak overnight. I used to buy Winsor & Newton Brush Cleaner and Restorer and it is a good option too but to be honest, I see no difference.
On the pictures attached you can see a brush I use for at least 6 years for washes before and after soap. It is not new but ready to brush for month. That works on natural and synthetic bristles.
Remember a cleaner / restorer will never repair the tip!

Another piece of terrain
April month of the foam? certainly for me. It's been a while I wanted more buildings for my tabletop. Nothing specific here or really historic. I am pleased with the final result. I planned to do 2 to 3 more. Please find some pictures of the process and the final result. I planned nothing for this build, all on the fly.

Terrains
Hi folks! I decided to post today on the blog because Facebook makes me sick, I am considering to close my Facebook page, but I will still use Messenger. To be honest Facebook was a way for me to interact with artists and crafters but 95 % of the content I see is not related to our hobby and is full of shit. So... Well, I will focus on Instagram and this blog probably in the future.
This spring is strange, isn't it ? I try to be occupied as a lot of people, I guess terrain is my call for this period. I took some time to finish some old stuff and to start some new buildings. I had this Proxxon for month, it was time to cut some foam.
