1st Quarter Review

The battle continues.  We are now half way through April, so I suppose it is time to review the first quarter and evaluate my project status.  

My overall goals:

1.  Complete castings for the following ERAs.

• 6mm Fantasy - Only a few minis completed.  Perhaps 30-40 left to complete.  I have several on the desk currently.
• 6mm Moderns  - Not even touched yet.
• 6mm WWII - No progress
• 6mm Napoleonics - Those Saxons have not painted themselves.   
• 6mm WOTR - Feeling a little depressed
• 6mm Terrain  - This is getting ugly....  
• 28mm WWII - W00t!!!  I accomplished something.
• 28mm Han/Qin Chinese - They are about 50% complete as these are my current focus.
• 28mm Fantasy -  Working on some old Empire figures to serve in my Italian Wars army
• 20mm WWII - Completed my US Paratrooper, Panzergrenadier, and Wehrmacht platoons.
• 10mm ACW - Primed and waiting their turn.
• 15mm Sanurai -  Nope..
• 1/6000 Naval -Started to lean towards "selling" now

Base coating on the Han infantry is now complete.  The clutter is still unabated however...

2.  Eliminate the following:

• 6mm WWII - A lot of excess GHQ castings of bits and bobs to eliminate.
• 6mm Moderns - Get rid of the excess of BMP-3s, T-80s and other unpainted models that are excess to my needs.  I should probably try to capitalize on the sudden interest in "Cold War Gone Hot" stemming from Team Yankee...
• 6mm SciFi- I have more than enough painted Battlemechs, the rest need to go.  
• 20mm War in the Pacific  -Two under-strength USMC and Japanese units need to go.
• 15mm Romans and their enemies  -I am currently sprucing up the painted figs before posting them up for grabs.
• 15mm Fantasy -Elves and Orks are finally gone.  Next up are the more massive Dwarf and Undead contingents.
• 15mm Early Renaissance and late Middle Ages - Lots of unpainted lead here from numerous manufacturers.  I already have sufficient stocks in 28mm and 6mm, they are now redundant.
• 15mm Colonial French and British -10 years on and I still haven't gotten to these.  Time to go. 
• 15mm ACW - The confederate infantry and seige guns are finally away. I have a pile of artillery and gunners that desperately need sorting.     
• 15mm ACW terrain - Too big for 10mm, to small for the 28mm skirmish.  Time to make some room for the rest of the collection. 
• 15mm Napoleonic - I have several French and British units languishing away.  My 6mm collection more than fits my needs.
• 28mm Fantasy -Lots of old GW lead needs to find a new home.  
• 15mm War of 1812 Americans  - I have decided to sell these off as well.  I have too much unpainted minifig stuff to do, and I would rather re-engage with both US and British at 10mm and paint a unified collection.  

Trying to figure out the basins for these guys now.

I have also broken my no purchases until June rule....  It was not my fault!  I didn't know the Korea trip was going to happen then!  (Last minute tasking...)  Can't you see?  I NEEDED the figures for the Imjin war!  Yeah, I know, wargamers are incorrigible.  At least it sponges up enough spare funds that you can't afford any more hazardous hobbies...

What's on the desk for the near future

1.  Watchful I Studios Qin Chinese - I have about 40 infantry, 9 cavalry and 3 leader stands left to complete.
2.  Castinghouse Han Chinese - 9 Light Cavalry
3.  Foundry Renaissance - 8 Handguns and 24 Pikes
4.  15mm Romans - Finish repairs
5.  6mm -Various casualties near completion
6.  15mm Dwarf adn Undead Fantasy  -Getting the last ones done, so I can put them on the block.
