>"First its not 'to many' it's 'TOO many'!"

Probably not the first to notice, but obviously the first to feel a comment was needed.

Just starting another new project today. I picked up a couple of rather nice die-cast WWI aircraft models from a local store. They look slightly bigger than 1/144, so I need to do a bit of digging to find their scale just for my own satisfaction.

They look ideal for me to do a one-on-one dogfight on my Kallistra hex terrain.

The distraction for me will be simply to ink up the planes to 'mucky' them and do a suitable base and then some research to produce a fun one page set of rules. All good fun and possibly the worlds cheapest new project / distraction.

You can never have too many, it's a Wargammers reason for never being bored

This year I have completed the following (some have been on the go for a few years)

50   x 28mm WW2 Russian Infantry

100 x 15mm WW2 U.S. Paratroopers

A small Afrika Korps detachment (15 vehicles and approx 50 troops) in 15mm for Rapid Fire

But what I have left (before buying more at Battleground tomorrow):

150 + 10mm French Napoleonic

60 x 28mm Romans

4 x 15mm Vehicles

The civilian clothed Dads Army figures from Warlord in 28mm.


So many TOYS and not enough hours in the day  

I suppose we all just have to SOLDIER on

Well, to actually get somewhere, I think you have to focus on one project.

A second becomes a manageable distraction that undermines the first project and beyond that I think it just becomes a mess, to the point that I can just stall and go into total inactivity with nothing getting done as I get pulled into too many directions.

He's right you know, hence my rod of iron painting schedule. This has been designed to complete projects so that there are always battles to be fought down the club, whilst painting is progressing.

I have enough painted that I am never going to be without something to play with.

The people I've played against have usually, like me, collected both sides so if I don't have an army for it, they do!

I'm retired.

Distraction is what I want

That makes me feel old. I had been at work  4 years when you were born.  

Not slacking just lots on the go.

I have done

Approx
60 28mm figures
250 10mm figures
50 20mm WW2 infantry
22  20mm vehicles
1 Dystopian wars fleet
6 buildings
Several packe of Timecast hedgerow
10 feet of 20mm fencing
Made 40 feet of  Hedges
12 feet of Barbed wire entanglements

I am also out 2 nights a week for hobbies  and I average a 50 hour week at work. Plus I am doing up the house.  So not to tardy me thinks  

Well ok, i'll count that as just a little bit slacking 

Ok thank you all for your input its been much appreciated. At least nearly everyone on here's in the same boat.

Anyway I've decided to concentrate on my two favourite periods which are ACW and WWII as most of you know turbil miniatures are painting up my ACW armies. Which leaves me to wash highlight and base them. Hopefully this will be completed by the end of January.

So this leaves me my WWII well I've been all over the place with this id already decided to get rid of my British. So I think I'm going to concentrate on early Russian front, stalingrad.

Take care
