Weekly Update

Last Week at Wargaming Tradecraft

The Postapocalyptibuggy continues.

I discuss Creating Fake Weld Points, Preventing Super Glue from Drying and Link Within.

Updated my "Supplies" and "Manual Drills" page as I was in a hobby store and actually saw a few in packaging.. apparently they're supposed to be called a "Pin Vice"

Last Week in the Community

Dream Forge games has put out a call to get community support in building their Iron Core system. People who help with anything from rules to typos and eventually beta testing will earn points to track their involvement - These people will then be able to have their names / alias' immortalized in the Iron Core universe.
