FSN you have competition for the Started Projects.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

On most started projects .... I have five 28mm figures, bought in GW's Hammersmith shop the day after it opened, which were going to be the start of a Laserburn collection that are still unfinished. Is the the longest ongoing started project?

I started counting unfinished projects and stopped counting after 48 - too depressing to continue.

Also, what counts as a project? Are my Early Hominids one project or are the Homo Sapiens, Homo Neanderthalensis, Homo Heidelbergensis, Homo Denisova and Homo Floresiensis tribes separate projects? If the latter I am even worse than I thought!!

Perhaps we should have Yearbook style "Least Likely To ...." attributions.

A few to start off:

Least Likely To Stay On Topic

Least Likely To Be Respectful To The Moderators

Least Likely To Complete A Project Started This Year

Least Likely To Win The Painting Competition

Least Likely To Avoid Physical Damage In The Course Of Wargaming Related Activities
