I have a problem – a metal and plastic problem. Last year I tried to finish projects and ended up not really reducing my plastic mountain. I’ll put the metal mountain to one side – it comprises about 1500-2000 25mm Minifigs Napoleonic infantry, cavalry and guns, which I realise I only got or sentimental reasons and will never be painted to add to my 2000 painted stuff. (I still have them in the old minifig boxes!!)
I had an idea to go through, identify and count my outstanding figures – and put it down here as an incentive to paint them over the next year. My further incentive is that I will not start a new project till they are done.
So here is the list:
ECW 28mm (Warlord Miniatures) for ?
116 Foot musketeers
64 Foot Pike
24 Cavalry
2 Light guns with crew
1 Mounted General
Napoleonic 28mm (Perry, Victrix and Warlord Miniatures) for Sharp Practice 2
7 British Hussars
7 French Leger Lancers
24 Portuguese Line
120 French Line
92 Prussian Line
42 Prussian Landwehr
3 British guns and crew
Ancients 28mm (Warlord Miniatures) for To The Strongest
24 Roman Legionaries
36 Roman auxiliaries
88 Celtic Warriors
WW2 15mm (Plastic Soldier Company) for Battlegroup Tobruk
5 Opel Blitz lorries
4 PzIV’s
4 PzIII’s
3 A9/A10’s
4 Shermans
3 6pdr anti tank and tows
3 Halftracks
3 Sdkfz 231’s
7 Universal Carriers
8 Zvezda kits (assorted)
64 Italian colonial infantry
So that is it – the target for this year, 644 figures and 36 vehicles. Can it be done?
