So this year I will be working on a much looser plan than previously and my objectives can be summarised as:
- Rework/Rebase as many figures as possible
- Enhance/Add some new forces to the collection
- Maintain or ideally reduce the stash
- Exploit the 3D Printer
- Enjoy Games & Shows
1. Rework/Rebase as many figures as possible.
- Start on the Napoleonics (this may take a couple of years to do) - I've made a start on the British
- WW2 Winter Russians
- Early War German Fallschirmjager
2. Enhance/Add some new forces to the collection in no particular order
- 15mm DBA Italian wars army (for the forthcoming inter-club tournament)
- 28mm Female Gunfighters
- Add a unit of WW2 Japanese SNLF
- Extra units for the Crusades
- French Dragoons for Egypt 1800
- Modify the SYW Austrian Grenz to use for Prussian Frei Korps
- SNLF units to complete my WW2 Japanese Infantry
- Some extra Aztecs for skirmish games
- Some French dragoons for my French in Egypt 1800
- Various figures and terrain need for Montgisard 1177
- WW2 BEF infantry (I plan to 3D print the extra needed figures, etc.)
3. Continue to clear out all unwanted items, including painted figures
- Re-assess each existing period, army, and units to consider if I am really going to use them
- Reduce the stash (figure and plastic bits box) from 4 crates to 3
- review my 1/300 collection and decide its fate
4. 3D Printing - the bulk of my immediate needs have been printed so I will work on
- gradually replace existing diecast and other poor quality AFVs in my collection
- components for houses and other terrain
- work on how to make/modify files to meet my specific needs
- Continue supporting the Beacon Club and attending as many weekend events as possible
- Attend at least as many shows as last year

Good plan, especially the clear out. 4 down to 3 crates sounds a very positive move ….. interesting to see what you do with the 1/300. I recently got rid of everything that was small scale, including buildings etc and that got rid of a lot of distracting repitition within the collection.
