This first purchase was a necessity. My previous, Anglepoise, lamp had served me well for over a decade but the main plastic housing was gradually melting. The heat shield was inadequate and I felt that a fire was inevitable. In addition the peg from the main arm was too long for the anchoring base so it scratched my table top. A replacement was well overdue.
The Purelite has 4 settings providing 10%, 30%, 60% & 100% illumination. Haven't seriously tried it out yet but it seems robust enough. Only time will tell.
(B) Minifigs Z340 - Polish/Russian infantry. Settings - Full light on light box (see Pt.2) with green background. Much clearer than last time.
The originals (in various states) were posted on 16.5.22 - halfway down.
This means that I can now field 3.63a and 3.63b Early Polish DBA armies in 15mm. Later Polish (4.66) requires 4 x 3Kn to complete (have to order some figures).

On the Paint Tray:
1) Huns - Cv gen, 2 x Lh, 2 x 4Bw
2) Celtibereans - kindly given 24 soldiers in a raw state. After cleaning up I realised that only 7 had swords plus 1 that could become a Celt. The other 16 javelin-armed infantry can be returned.
3) Russians (Nap) - starting on the horsemen.
4) Artillery piece - thought this was for the Hun army but DBA 2.80 says not. Never mind it is a pretty generic stone thrower so it can be co-opted when and where required.

This posting is 2 days late - my camera had been playing me up. Could find the relevant pictures on the camera memory but importation was impossible. The battery warning light was on so I high-tailed it to the nearest Argos (Pontefract). Once charged I tried again to import the pics - nope! Much fiddling around later I succeeded. The morale of this story is do not let your batteries get low on your digital camera.

Next time: more experiments with the Light Box.
