---Updated 17 Oct 10
I have been working on a long term plan to organize my projects for the next year. It is agressive, but I want to start bringing some projects to maturity so I can keep organized and not develop a mountain of unpainted lead. My planned purchases are limited for the coming year:
1) FOW platoons at each convention
2) Keep buying 1 of each Splintered Light animal pose
3) Maybe get more of the Blue Moon FIW 15mm range for the imagi-nation.
My stand by at any time will be the Splintered Light figures as I have only about a dozen of each animal so I can finish a group quickly if I hit painter's block on other projects.
I plan to make a unique terrain piece/fort for each SL faction too.

This takes me out a year and 2.5 years since I started painting/gaming/collecting. It will mature many of my projects (except ancients and pirates) allowing me to get more focused on gaming.
Para, para dice, with apologies to Coldplay.

You, sir, are far far more organized than I am. Good luck with your schedule.

Much too organized! ha ha!
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, you'll probably get more done that way.
p.s. I'll especially look forward to the SL animals' forts/terrain pieces :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement. I needed to get a handle on what I havee bought in my year long splurge. The FOW additions were not expected, but my son is interested in WW2 so this is a nice tie in.
ReplyDeleteI am on track here in August...will finish the 3 Imagi-nation units today. Want to start the Otter fort tomorrow. It will be a mound with a wooden pallisade up top...and a bridge across the pond.
