Actually I have one less paint. My twin daughters were having a little problem and when I went to help them I acidenntly left one open and now I have to go...
I am a squirrel. A squirrel, as per Larry's definition, is a wargamer who, because of the climate in which they live, must do their primering of figures...
Squirrel. I take figures with me on business trips, and clean up the castings in the evenings, so they are all ready to prime when I get home (if the weather...
First of all... congratulations that you got yourself new nuts... I guess your wife will be happy with that! :-P Now... I would call myself a bird. I buy...
I've never let the climate get to me. I have a well-ventilated garage and can prime whenever I choose. I also have central air conditioning my house, so the...
I am a squirrel I have been storing away minitures for years. I paint during the cold, snow raining part of the year here. My wife things I am nuts as well....
... No worries about global warming then! 'Spose I'm a bird, with squirrel like tendencies (flying squirrel???). I mass but armies to last me all year. I used...
I'm a bird. Living in the desert, I don't really worry about rain or snow that much- although this year certainly has dampened this. We have had more rain this...
I am a squirrel, when i get new figures I like to clean them up immediately, then base them on temporary cardboard painting bases, the sides of cereal packets...

Now this came up when I read a topic on TMP on Jedi aiming for recognition as an official religion by the UK government. Some people commented that they wanted...
How many of us can related to today's strip? I have to admit that it just happened to me. After spending the last two months working on WWII stuff (and a bunch...
Yup. This is suposed to be the year I finish painting my Arab cavalry, and I'm not allowing myself to buy any of the nice Askari Zouaves, Foreign Legion, or...
As long as you are working numerous era´s you will always have this. Not always too sure if this has something to do with the attention span. It might have...
I recognise myself in that Larry strip. I think I have got myself a system that mitigates against my worst tendencies. I bulk buy figures once a year at a...
On my painting table, at various stages of completion, are: 10mm TYW, 15 mm ACW infantry for JRIII, 15mm Austrian Lt Cav, WW2 air in both 1/300 and 1/600,...
Researching beforehand is definitely the way to go. Some periods just don't work out particularly well. I, too, have ended up steering clear of some periods...
Not that I woudl, but do cavalry count as 1 figure or two? Cuz when I put them in my painting log I count them as 2 because they take at least as long as two...
... If it important Les, yes, your calculations seem justified. I did count what I painted at one point but it gave the impression that I spent waaay too much...
I don't count anymore, I hide too many to consider risking a full out count! I increased my painting since entering a monthly comp with another yahoo group, an...
I count. Just painted figures. I count each figure painted, and a figure is a figure is a figure. A chariot is one, each horse and driver is one. I used to...
Below Message was originally posted by: cynewulf44, but accidently deleted by me (E.Hotz)... sorry about that. ... Yet another advantage of 6mm figures! As...
Back in 1998, I counted my unpainted figures. It was an incredibly depressing event! I still have the inventory around here somewhere, but I've never done it...
... When I was growing up I lived near the George Washington Bridge which goes across the Hudson River from New Jersey to New York. I was amazed to see that...
OK, time to stand up and be counted. Larry can't be the only one with the mad logic of today's cartoon. Have you ever decided to do the same army but in a...
Well, I haven't actually done that, but I have thought about it very seriously. I have Greek and Turkish armies in 28mm which have me commanding a battalion...
I don't have anything seriously awful to report . . .er sort of. I have 15mm and 25mm ACW figures. Painted, based, and everything. I haven't played with...
... Well...surely we've all done at least one period in different scales? Eg 6mm for epic scale battles and 25/8mm for skirmish games. I have certainly...
