The biggest thing I did over the last 6-8 months was to sell of many, many half finished projects, that despite my good intentions would never get done any time soon. I really wanted to narrow my focus and focus more in gaming that buys stacks of lead that I will never get around to painting! So... Goodbye 6mm WSS, 6mm Ancients, 6mm Colonials, 1/300 WW2 aircraft, 28mm WW2.
I now have my ready to play periods narrowed down to these, and even then I am probably sprading myself too thin:
- 28mm Victorian Science Fiction
- 28mm Pulp
- 6mm Napoleonics (Wagram 1809 campaign)
- 6mm Sci Fi (for Company Commander)
- 1/600 scale Cold War (US, West German, Warsaw Pact)
- 28mm Lion Rampant / Dragon Rampant with:
- Vikings / Rohan
- Orcs / Goblins
- Lizard Men
- ~100+ 28mm Sci Fi skirmish figures from random manufacturers for, well Sci-Fi skirmish games
That should be enough to keep anyone busy, but here are the projects I have currently in flight in some stage of completion:
- 20mm / 1:72 scale WW1 (more on this later)
- 28mm Normans for Lion / Dragon Rampant
- 28mm Sicilian Arabs for Lion / Dragon Rampant
And finally, I am down to only 2 projects which are just in boxes, ready to get going:
- 1:72 scale plastic Colonials for Sudan
- 28mm WSS for large skirmishes
Whew! That is a lot, but I feel much better not having so many undone projects hanging over my head.
My main focus has been my WW1 project that I have finally gotten around to completing after buying the first figures for it 10 years ago... It is nearing completion and I will start chronicling it over the next few weeks, including posts on:
- My reading list
- Figures
- Painting
- Terrain
- Rules
Stay tuned!
