I've decided after many years that I have simply too many ideas and not enough time. So I am evaluating all of my projects, and determining which ones I shall carry on with in an attempt to complete them and which shall be abandoned in the interest of achieving the previous goal.
For status, I shall use 'planning' (want to buy minis), 'active' (not playable but I am currently working on it), 'inactive' (unplayable but on to-do list), 'dead' (can't play, not doing anything, don't plan on it), 'playable' (enough to play, still adding to it), and rarest of all, 'finished' (can play, no plans to add to it). Thus far, I have decided:
25/28mm
- VSF Eureka Pond Wars: dead
- VSF Lizardmen: inactive
- VSF/Colonial British: playable
- VSF German: marginally playable
- VSF Automaton: finished (lacks one thing from Parroom Station to replace the dog-eaten one)
- VSF Martian: marginally playable- awaiting Parroom Station's eventual release (I hope)

I have one of the steam quad cycles with maxim gun thing from Parhoon's minion line. It is painted gray and may be assembled.
I use acrylic paint (generally the hobby store kind) and coat with Testor Dull-coat (which I may not have put on this figure yet).
Since I already have a machine gun team for the minions, I am willing to part with this piece, especially since it is likely to get more play time with you than with me.
If you are interested, I can take a picture of it.

I am absolutely interested. Email me please.
Quite the list.
Quite a list impressive...good idea to do a stocktake though! I regularly review my 'stuff'...
How many painted vs unpainted figures do these categories cover and dare I ask how any more except the couple mentioned are required to complete the current list?
Captain: We don't discuss such tawdry subjects as unpainted lead... far too common. And depressing.
:-)
I sent an e-mail to the aethergraph address. If it did not come through, please let me know. I may have attached too many images.

A great idea to list the projects, but as a wargamer from the school of the butterfly, I shudder to think about how long the list would be....
Victorian Planet of the apes..
FPW..
Cod wars :-)
Etc, etc - The list goes on...
Cheers

Stuart: I had to break the total number of all projects, VSF and non-VSF, into three separate posts on my other blog.
25mm: http://thescattergungamer.blogspot.com/2016/09/project-review-fall-2016-2528mm.html
15mm: http://thescattergungamer.blogspot.com/2016/09/project-check-fall-2016-15mm.html
and "Small Scale": http://thescattergungamer.blogspot.com/2016/09/project-check-fall-2016-odd-fleet-and.html
Over a hundred projects, including the dead ones.
