Well I'm an old rocker and with all these pics of Mod hair dryers I may have to retaliate with pics of real bikes 

But back to the topic, in 2012 I intend to sell enough painted figures to pay for a big chunk of my daughters wedding (going well so far). I would also like to get a sci-fi dungeon when this is available and I would hope to get myself a third BKC army, probably late war Brits.

Cheers, Andy

Hi all thankfully me and the missus are nearly coming to the end of doing all the scenery that's needed. And once it's all done I'll take some photos to show you how busy we've actually have been.  The next job will be to start painting the World World Two Russians and Germans.

Im going to sell off all my horrid 15mm scale Ancients stuff thats lain in boxes unpainted and unloved for many years. All bought to play Warhammer Ancients, and used, but I just cant stand 15mm figures for anything other than skirmish. Im also going ot ruthlessley sell all those half started projects that i spent a fortune on like my 28mm French Napoleonic army that in all honesty will never make it to the table.

Im half way through my Vietnam porject now, all the Americans are done other than choppers, most of the village building scenery is done, and the jungle terrain is 90% finished. Just need to make rice paddies, although struggling on how to make the banks/berms- maybe pollyfilla or clay?  Going to pick up the NVA and VC at Slaute and they wont take long.

The other project I plan on starting is a ECW force or two for Pike and Shotte in 10mm and possibly a SYW/Tricorn era force or two for Maurice which is a recent change of heart!

As I have posted before - finish my 28mm Napoleonics - (6 boxes of Perry/Victrix) and then into 10mm - starting with AVBCW/Sealion but fully intending/hoping to do several periods.

I am very determined not to buy anything until I am fully up to date with painting and modelling each period - its too frustrating to keep buying and not finishing anything.

I have all the 28mm terrain and buildings I will ever need - and will start on 10mm buildings/hedges/walls etc very soon:)

This week-end I will finish my 28mm Celts and Imperial Romans - around 36 units between them - having doggedly persevered with them since last Autumn - a relief to change period for the painting!

I love the look of 28mm Napoleonics but I am itching to get going on 10mm projects

Time for an update methinks...


10mm Pendraken:
- Franco-Prussian War: winter campaign: BEGUN ASSEMBLY
- Fantasy - dungeoneering: MORE PAINTED, PICS NEEDED
- Pulp - The Mummy stuff: STARTED, PICS NEEDED
- AVBCW: paint my various factions: Royalist / Socialist / BUF / Brigands: ALL PAINTED
- WW2: Finnish [Winter War]: BOUGHT
- WW2: EW French

- WW1 Middle East campaign: have always fancied doing this...
- secret project #1: BOUGHT, ASSEMBLED, UNDERCOATED
- secret project #2: STILL PLANNING

2mm Irregular:
- probably get some ECW armies: NO PROGRESS

3mm Odzial Osmy

28mm - nothing...this would be a first for me in living memory   STILL RESISTING...

I would like to finish one project, just one little project before being distracted by something shiny (again)...  

Update:

1940 Germans finished
16th - 18th century Turks finished
16th century Persians finished
16th century Venetians finished

Thanks Adrian & Bill

This means ECW, Melneboneans, Barbarians, more VBCW and a possible late 17th century Austrian army are coming soon 

Since we're updating...

My plans for 2012 were early war French and German for IABSM and even earlier French and Germans/Prussians for FPW.

I've completed a reinforced company each of the WWII variety - finally completing flocking the bases this past weekend. The one part of the hobby I hate is flocking the bases. I actually finished painting the figures over a month ago but I decided the mountain of unflocked bases wasn't going to get smaller so I finished over 100 bases this weekend.

For the FPW, I now have just over a division of troops completed for each side. I've decided to go with "To The Last Gaiter Button" as my rules of choice. I should have another batallion of Prussians completed just in time for the arrival of my latest Pendraken order next week. I plan to build about 4-5 divisions per side so this project should keep me busy for awhile.

QuoteI am very determined not to buy anything until I am fully up to date with painting and modelling each period - its too frustrating to keep buying and not finishing anything

Oh yes I totally agree, however I'm fairly sure my determination will give out sooner or later.

Must finish Baltic Crusades in 15mm and resist the temptation to go for a Prussian/Wendish army.

Ditto Endkrieg Germans and Russians - just some heavy weapon padding here and there and another unit of Volkssturm (possibly).

WotR more or less under control, just need to decide who's who and do the command figs.

Then, or in fact at the same time, get started on Pendraken 10mm Naps in the Peninsula. I fear that this project will grow from Brits and French to ecompass the Russians and Austrians since I've been very impressed by a lot of the eye-candy in this forum.  I also have a bit of a soft spot for the old KuK boys (represented by largish SYW army in 15mm).


Now to see if all or indeed any of these plans come to fruition.

Major changes for me for the rest of 2012. Having split from my long term partner (we got back together briefly to give it one last try... gave 100% in effort but alas, wasn`t to be) I have spent the last months recovering from the split, readjusting to life again... and moving from my home in County Kerry to a new home at Bantry Bay in West Cork; ultimately myself and my *uhuum* new female friend tentatively plan to move to England (Felixstowe) where we can do a lot of theatre, join game clubs, visit old castles, etc etc etc... I have now put about 95% of my life-long gaming material up in the attic and have limited myself to using 10mm loveliness only (no doubt the attic stuff will eventually be let go, if and when we DO move).

2012 sees me now finally able to devote time to my passion... Dungeon World in 10mm, and Sci-fi gaming in the same scale.

If the move to England comes off.... I can see myself taking up a completely new hobby era; probably a historical one in all honesty    I`ve spent years indulging in the fantasy aspect of the hobby; and as I find my hair taking on a less ` black look` and more of a misty look (first grey hairs) I think maybe its time to go a bit more... mature as old age creeps upon me (me mature  hahahahaa      ).

Yes, 2012 promises to be an interesting year I think    

Six

Well the second Mrs W is starting to read Battlegames , has started to criticise the uniform details in Master and Commander and is reading Conan-Doyle's history of the Boer War...
I feel a cunning plan coming on....

My original list showing progress since Jan 2012

No comment means NIL PROGRESS

6mm
Franco Prussian War â€" finish off last few bits and pieces
actually the last few bits were quite a few bits and this took a good month and a half to complete
ACW
WW2 landing Craft
Timecast Buildings - some progress, albeit painfully slow. Bases currently on order to start to make my existing terrain a bit more uniform and storage friendly.
Principles of War British and Zulu’s - shelved indefinately, relegated to the attic to be sold off at some stage!

10mm
Generic Medieval - made some progress here with a few units painted and based - still a load more based and undercoated still to do
Polish Renaissance
ECW Parliament and Royalist
Carolingian
Rus
Viking
Byzantine
French Naps - bases arrived recently - next project in the queue
Ayubid Egyptians - making painfully slow progress - hoping to finish by the end of May
Samurai
Welsh/Scottish WMA
Viet-minh and French REP - shelved for a quick paint job and onward sale when I can be motivated to get them to the table
Colonial British and Fuzzies - shelved for a quick paint job and onward sale when I can be motivated to get them to the table

28mm
SoTR Krauts and Demons - some progress but not a lot. Motivation lacking on this one because the rules they are played with are absolute S****

Things I didn't plan to do in 2012
28mm SAGA - Anglo -Saxon Warband done, Scots and Vikings now on painting table alongside 10mm Napoleonics
10mm Austrian Napoleonics - awaiting basing and next up on the painting table alongside the French
15mm AWI - had lots of this still kicking around from my Principles of War games which I am rebasing for Maurice. The pile includes at least a dozen new units which will make my Maurice Armies up to 100+points a piece with various options.

Things I didn't plan to do in 2012 that I will probabaly start in 2012 and still be planning to do the next time the Olympics comes to London
LOA in 10mm for Maurice - but only when 15's are done and the range is complete
Falklands War in 10mm - this may well bump all other projects as a first interest when it lands!

I need to get out more

Nah Nosher, just keep staying in and putting the rest of us to shame. Me, I need to play World of Warcraft less, that bloody game eats about 6-7 hours of my day, shame its so bloody addictive. 

And what happens to the pup, while you're doing that Gordon ?
Cheers - Phil
