Properly base all the figs - I have a bunch of magnetised bases, just have to get get stuck into the hundred or so figs! Most are now actually stuck onto them, which will also help safe storage and transport, but now I have to do all the fiddly bits.

That little lot will keep me busy until Christmas and beyond, but if I get anywhere near to finishing off that list I'll be as proud as Punch!
Well that lot should keep you busy well past Christmas, why is it us wargamers can't finish just one thing at a time??? Like you, I've got stacks of stuff half started or is it half finished???
ReplyDeleteI also have the same problem I just can't sit and finish one thing I have to all sorts of things going on. However, it is helpful to list it all out to see what in the world you are doing. And hopefully it will motivate you to finish some of your projects.
ReplyDeleteI love your expression "the carnage of my hobby table". Even for me (admittedly completely anal retentive when it comes to all other aspects of my life), my hobby workbench is a mess of projects and minis in different stages of partial completion.
ReplyDeleteStop it, a month tops:P
ReplyDeleteI would be very happy to get that much done by Christmas. Good luck Paul.
ReplyDeleteNever mind getting that lot finished for Christmas, have you room for all the extra unplanned projects that'll pop up over the next 6 months ;-)
ReplyDeleteA tented camp...check
ReplyDeleteA smithy...check
Enclosures....check
Animals to go in them...check.
Hey!!...you´ve pinched my "to do" list! :-D
Sounds really good...especially the baggage train and the elevated storehouses.
Cheers
