Tbh Ms. Toxic's reaction was also a major factor in not bothering

Tiger Cub 40mm deep storage boxes fit brilliantly under the seat of my wife's car! Often pack an army when we go away

Blue Monday follows all those new year promises made about getting an army or two painted.

You paint 16 figures on their sticks and once done, you smile and say 'good, love it, 16 down 984 to go!'

and then in that same instant, the good feeling goes and you wish instead your new project for the year was two 54mm gladiator figures.

But then thank goodness, suddenly it is Tuesday and you paint another 16 and now you only have 968 figures to go! you think about the 968 and it feels like Monday again.

Fortunately, time does fly, 6 months pass, as indeed have many Mondays, and you have managed to paint another 16 figures and now you only have 952 to go and you think that having just red and blue sprayed armies does not seem such a stupid, mean spirited, lazy idea after all!

But just in time to bring you back from the brink of car spray doom, you buy some new shiny rules and realise that you must rebase and you are so grateful that you have only painted 48 figures that Blue Monday Blues are lifted. It only takes 6 months, but your initiation as a wargamer is complete and it all seems worthwhile.

Holy Fnord, Norm, are you me?!

Pack in suitcase that is going in the hold of a plane( NOT CARRY ON)

The thought of trying to explain to the average airport security goon what all of these small bits of metal packed tightly in a suitcase actually are fills me with dread. You're a braver man than me!

Cheers, M.
