Plan for 2025

I still do not have a particular objective for this year, but I am clear on what I will work on until I get some inspiration

So this year I will be working on the following broad themes:
  1. Enhance existing armies
  2. 3D printing terrain (FDM)
  3. 3D printing vehicles and figures (resin)
  4. Continue to clear out all unwanted items, including painted figures
  5. Enjoy Games & Shows
Amplifying the above:

1. Enhance existing armies - already planned are
  • Continue rebasing the French Napoleonics
  • then I will start on the Austrians
  • 28mm Female Gunfighters
  • 5 units of Napoleonic Spanish round hat infantry (1 of which will be skirmishers)
  • 4 units of Napoleonic Italian line infantry
  • 3 units of Napoleonic Young Guard skirmishers
  • WSS Danish Cuirassiers
  • Hanoverian limbers for the SYW
  • Some Spanish medievals for the El Cid period
  • plus the figures listed below to be 3D printed

2. 3D Printing Terrain (FDM)
  • Test printing a Horsa using FDM
  • Vietnamese hooches
  • Western European buildings
  • Spanish/Mediterrainean buildings
  • New bridges (all eras)

3. 3D Printing Vehicles & Figures (Resin)
  • Napoleonic Saxon and Westphalian Infantry
  • Napoleonic Russian Artillery & Gunners
  • Napoleonic Polish Lancers, French Guard Horse Grenadiers and Chasseurs a Cheval
  • WW2 Russian paratroops
  • Gradually replace existing diecast and other poor quality AFVs in my collection
  • Working on more figures with the Resin printer using the more robust resin I have found

4. 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
  • Maintain stash (figure and plastic bits box) at 3 crates and hopefully reduce the numbers
  • Consider the future for my 1st version Springwood figures as I have the capability to replace them with more compatible figures to the 2nd edition

5. Gaming
  • Continue supporting the Beacon Club and attending as many weekend events as possible
  • Try to attend the same number of shows as last year
