What ho chaps!
As traditional dictates, summer is here, England are getting hammered in a test series and it's about to rain...
What shall I smuggle into the car this year for late night painting?
Polling  a week or two in advance so that I've got some assembly and undercoating time.

And just got variety, you get two votes each! ;)

Its broke....showing 3 votes and telling me there are 2 voters, or is it Tammany Hall - vote early, vote often...

A holiday is a time to enjoy the things you enjoy.

Enjoy your wives and your concubines and those that you can hold with your right hand, but do not surrender to them that which gives you pleasure. If they say to you "but we are on holiday and it is time for family" say "I shall apportion my time appropriately. Some I shall give to my wives and my concubines and those that I hold with my right hand, and some I shall give to eating and to sleeping and to washing, but some part I shall reserve for the which gives me pleasure."

Not me Guv. I removed my vote and there was still one left. I've put it back now.

Perhaps someone (perhaps Mrs L) wants to influence the vote.

It's a two vote poll, thought I would be different! ;)

You just want two things to paint.

Maybe...

I voted for a complete break it's a holiday, a thing where you do things that you wouldn't normally do at home. (Like talk to the missus. :) ) Plus it has the added bonus of making you feel rejuvenated when you get back and you will paint even more figures!

If I had to choose it would be Mongols.

I chose LOA infantry.

I can't say don't paint, as i always take some models and paint with me on holiday  :P

When you don't sleep much, and your kids are in bed, and your wife tries to catch up some sleep, it's good to have something to do.

Voted !

I want to see some barbarians painted up.  ;)
You can't expect Will NOT to paint....He'll get withdrawal symptoms.  :D

Can I just point out the inherent bias in your survey. You have in effect two choices. To paint, or not to paint. Once that choice has been made, the question is "what should I paint?"

in other words, 5 "don't paint" should be outvoted by 6 "paint somethings".

Nobby - SHUT UP!!!!

IanS :'( :'( :'(

If the populous decide I shall not paint, I shall not paint. :)

Hold on.....As it stands....And assuming everybody that's voted has used both their votes.
Three people have said don't paint anything....Ten people want you to paint 'something'.

I'm with Nobby, on the apparent flaw in this poll.  ;)

Cheers - Phil

I'm surprised how strong the don't paint vote is.

I normally take a some modelling stuff on holiday - thought normally 28mm plastic kits to assemble as they are less messy, and need less good light. Times I have taken painting stuff it's usually been too much effort for the return.

If the 'Don't paint' wins by a substantial majority, I will follow that course.

Seascapes with watercolours are popular

I am a great fan of mad lemmey projects!

It is always an inspiration

And I really like these kind of polls  :D

All Warband for me!

I have a special Holiday desk lamp with a long  extension lead  (as there are never power points in the right place) for painting on holiday. I even took stuff to Florida a couple of years ago.  -  Mrs Orcs TOLD me to. (Yes I am very Lucky) 

I do try to take stuff that is fairly robust and only needs a few colours though.

If i could take a couple of 20 something concubines with me I would happily give the painting a miss! :d

But not  intensive care from the self induced heart attack due to over exercising.....

Or the large wound where Mrs Orcs has removed my crown jewels- Actually that would not be the case, when you go on holiday none of the knives are sharp.

At that age they're too inexperienced. Give trained regulars over raw volunteers any day.

How about concubines that can also paint wargames figures?

I have several units painted by my wife. And our mistress has promised to do us a regiment too.

Looks like it's nothing, then Barbarians. So that's what I shall do, a few nights of nothing, then some barbarians. ;)

Choose those nights carefully, very carefully.

Just watched the new Conan (dire film) and Troll Hunter (so bad it's good).
Barbarians are definitely getting done! ;)
