Too many figures...

[Orcs]

I have to admit that I am trying to finish projects this year. This mainly means painting what I already have with possibly a couple of additions.

So  far this year I have finished

1940 Belgians

Nearly finished
Western Desert Italian, DAK and 8th Army I have 6 guns and crew to complete them. plus I need a couple of command vehicles for the Italians.
1939 Poles 30 odd figures to do

However I have come to the problem where I have finished the project and have half empty tray in the really useful box. That's a real waste so needs to be filled

You do need to fill the unused space in the box. But then you realise that by doing this you do not quite have enough for a full unit (battalion/brigade/division whatever) so you need to start on another box. But then there is now unused space in the new box! Time for another order to Leon!!!

You just need to box clever.

I have a malt whisky gift tin where I keep all my unpainted figures, last week I dipped into it to check if I had all the figures I needed for a couple of units for the painting completion.  I did, which was rather disappointing, but then noticed I didn't have quite enough figures to finish off some Arab spear units so I had to order more from Pendraken.....

Yep, been there and done that - buying figures I needed forgetting I already had some of them. But more importantly, I didn't think you could have too many figures? Can you??

You only have "Too Many figures " when your wife or partner says " If you buy any more figures I am leaving".  At which point you obviously need another partner.
