Perhaps not as simulating as a discussion on storage options😎

Nevertheless, an update on what progress I've made since last post.
Remember those Gallic cavalry?
Well after touch ups, repairs and basing they look like this:
Some individual shots.
The "buying other people's painted figures that look like mine, but might need work" project continues with the addition of some Germans, looking very similar to mine, although on 3-to-a-base loose order. The bases need a bit of TLC....
A bit of a "PB&J" post (as Stew would say), but aside from uninteresting views of cleaned up Roman command figures and some remnant Gauls and Romans awaiting priming and painting respectively, not a lot else has happened chez moi.
A lot more terrain has been purchased as well as fortifications for those Romans and houses for the Celts, oh and some storage boxes......😎 mainly as due to all these additions I needed to expand. These are of the small craft or DIY bits boxes, with 40mm or wider compartments and some deeper toolbox types for those pesky pikes, lances and elephants.
The Gauls look great, and the most recent ones will fit very well once you've improved bases. It's a great way to recruit more forces without too much painting time being required.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the 'plug' for my post about storage boxes!
Thanks David. Increasing the Romans is next.
ReplyDeleteWelcome for the "plug".

Neil, competing against a lively discussion on storage options and opinions is tough to “top”. It may be difficult to “contain” our enthusiasm for the topic but we must eventually put a “lid” on it. I had to make a run to store yesterday to pick up a couple of new boxes. My recent painting results required two collections to expand into new boxes. Now that is progress!
ReplyDeleteIndeed Jonathan. I feel like Ive been boxed into a corner by David's post and I can't really top it; my post feels shallow and empty by comparison. I can't really contain myself or put those feelings away in a locker or cupboard and feel I need the space to parcel up those feelings and store them away properly all neatly stacked and ordered.....☺
ReplyDeletePerhaps we should measure progress by storage - "after my recent painting, I have a three crate army" or "I've finished a Really Useful Box worth today..."
