Plans for 2024

 I have had the really bad cold/flu thing that is going round so haven't done much for the last two weeks but I finally had the energy today to tidy and sort out the Painting Bureau.

I've thrown away all the dried up paints, sorted out all the excess figures that don't need to be there, thrown away a few test figures I am never going to use.

 

 

Also sorted through all the flags, banners and decals and put them in the middle thin drawer so I can actually find them!

 

Sorted out the bottom cupboard which holds the part painted but not finished projects.

 

 

I  have a few plans for 2024:

1) Concentrate on the 18th century for painting.

So, finish the 36 40mm AWI continentals that are on the painting table and then I should be able to play  a game.  Aim at adding a 12 figure unit each month to build up the forces.

Paint a 24 figure 25mm Minifigs Marlburian unit each month - I have 2 french on painting sticks, 1 british and 1 austrian in stock.

Finish the design for the Ravelin that is nearly done, get it laser cut and built, then work on the walls and the bastions.

2) Finish the scenery for Frostgrave (it really just needs "snowing up" and finally get it on the table and play a game.

3) Put all other partial projects away for now so I don't get distracted (20mm Sudan, 54mm Punic Wars, etc).

4) Paint some of the hundreds of Reaper Bones figures in between historical units so I can play some dungeon exploring games.

That is pretty much it.  I have a bad tendency to butterfly and not actually finish anything so I am hoping that I can get Frostgrave AWI and the Marlburians on the table this year.

I also want to play some more 20mm ACW and get the 25mm FPW collection on the table more often.

I have a large collection of early war 20mm WW2 that I bought very cheaply that I need to sort out and keep what I need and sell the rest (noone needs a division of German paratroopers!)

Apart from Marlburians I can't see me buying much this year  - I am more likely to sell stuff off excess figures from the 54mm Napoleonics and 20mm WW2.
