461 - '6MMRPC' #3 - 'Milking a Dead Cow'

Hullo,

Just a quicky tonight, as I've been trying to actually quantify the rest of my 'molehill-mountain' of stuff I need to paint - conscious as I am that many of my good readers have far, far greater piles of plastic crack than mine:

This chart relates to my slow-time and relatively pointless accumulation of 'scenery'; pretty much all 15mm. I say 'relatively pointless' because I never play anyone at home: I have neither space nor table...nor willing foe, so as hobby aims go, it's a bit like (as a student of mine once phrased it) 'milking a dead cow'.

Still, it's fun to make and a pleasant break from things martial. Half of it's aspirational, because I've yet to even get the material, but the aim is to do it all on the cheap: all scratchbuilt and easy to store.

- D.

PS: Why have all the fun, bright colours gone out of MS Excel these days? Seriously: it's like a communist eastern block spreadsheet...

  1. It's always good to have a decent amount of terrain, you never know when it may be called into action. It is quite soothing to paint a building after doing mind-numbing details on 15mm infantry! Making stuff is always satisfying too. Good luck with the challenge :-)

  2. Milking a dead cow indeed. Hilarious comment.

    Wish I had that many terrain projects to get on with. My table would look so much better...

    1. With luck, I'll be able to travel with the scenery in one box and the army in another, so that I can have mobile opportunities to play!
