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:

- VSF Eureka Pond Wars: dead
- VSF Lizardmen: inactive
- VSF/Colonial British: playable
- VSF German: marginally playable

I'm mad. Bonkers. Crazy. Off the rocker.
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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
DeleteQuite the list.
ReplyDeleteQuite a list impressive...good idea to do a stocktake though! I regularly review my 'stuff'...
ReplyDeleteHow 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.
ReplyDelete:-)
ReplyDeleteI 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....
ReplyDeleteVictorian 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.
