Progress on my broad themes:
- Enhance existing armies - Underway
- 3D printing terrain (FDM) - Nothing done yet as I still haven't had a clear period to run it.
- 3D printing vehicles and figures (resin) - Completed this summers run and it is now too cold in the garage to run it
- Continue to clear out all unwanted items, including painted figures - Nothing done yet
- Enjoy Games & Shows - Going well about to go to "Other Partisan"
1. Enhance existing armies - already planned are
- Continue rebasing the French Napoleonics - Now waiting for figures to be printed
- then I will start on the Austrians - Completed
- 28mm Female Gunfighters - Completed
- 5 units of Napoleonic Spanish round hat infantry (1 of which will be skirmishers) - Completed
- 4 units of Napoleonic Italian line infantry - Completed
- 3 units of Napoleonic Young Guard skirmishers - Completed
- WSS Danish Cuirassiers - Completed
- Hanoverian limbers for the SYW - Nothing done yet
- Some Spanish medievals for the El Cid period - Completed, except I decided to add more infantry figures
- plus the figures listed below to be 3D printed - Underway
2. 3D Printing Terrain (FDM)
- Test printing a Horsa using FDM - Nothing done yet
- Vietnamese hooches - I decided the hooches I bought were not well designed and I need to find something better
- Western European buildings - bought files from a kickstarter
- Spanish/Mediterrainean buildings - Nothing done yet
- New bridges (all eras) - Nothing done yet
3. 3D Printing Vehicles & Figures (Resin)
- Napoleonic Saxon and Westphalian Infantry - Nothing done yet as I have not found any files I like
- Napoleonic Russian Artillery & Gunners - Completed
- Napoleonic Polish Lancers, French Guard Horse Grenadiers and Chasseurs a Cheval - Completed
- WW2 Russian paratroops - Completed
- Gradually replace existing diecast and other poor quality AFVs in my collection - Some done
- Working on more figures with the Resin printer using the more robust resin I have found - Completed, now switched over to ABS water washable resin. I just need to use up my remaining old resin on less critical models
- Re-assess each existing period, army, and units to consider if I am really going to use them - Nothing done since I put already sorted stuff on ebay in January. I now need to sort out the next batch
- Maintain stash (figure and plastic bits box) at 3 crates and hopefully reduce the numbers - Nothing done yet - but nothing substantial purchased so still managing within 3 crates
- 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 - I am going to sell them as I complete their replacements. I will put the French up for sale before the year end
5. Gaming
- Continue supporting the Beacon Club and attending as many weekend events as possible - Well underway with additional periodic games at Si's "Officer's Mess" during the week.
- Try to attend the same number of shows as last year - Like last year the summer is quiet but I've been to the Wirral Warboot and the South West model show at Bovington
