Troubles

Some unexpected troubles came in the way of the painting progress, oder all things hit at once.

• I forgot the paints I bought in the dorm. 
• This is not so devastating, but for the scratchbuilt houses part I'd need the Revell Dark Earth as a generic brown. And the ACtA ECW artillery box has arrived, for which again I'd require a lot of brown especially that I mix the buff colors and whatnot out of it.
• It IS devastating because I can't work on the backdrop for my mini-studio.
• Also the battery recharger thingie is lost so apparently I can't make any photos.
• I came to the conclusion that my knowledge of geometry is dusty to say the least, and I can't count either.
• This involved an above average quantity of cursing while working with plasticard. Plasticard is pricey.
• On the other hand, I figured that a heated scalpel cuts PVC like butter which eases the progress of cutting circular holes to movement trays. This I wouldn't try with cardboard or similar materials.
• Further exploring my vast knowledge of geometry, creating a complex movement tray failed (the original idea was to make one that could be changed from 3x4 to 6x2 or 3 ranks to a 2 ranks, well it did not work).

This leaves me with 6 undersized cavalry trays done, one 4x3 slot infantry tray (supposedly for pike), and the ECW/TYW artillery pieces assembled and undercoated. Weather sucks and I'm in a bad mood after all of this.
