Steel Penguins braying

[Pellson]

..but i have massively variable mojo at the moment, and am still trying to finish..

This is exactly how I work, and it can be unbelievably frustrating. I have found, however, that if I want to get anything at all built, I often have to let go of stalled projects, putting them to one side while going with the mojo flow I get as it comes along, building where the lust currently is. The downside is an enormous Shelf of Doom^TM, but seen over time, it does mean I actually get more projects completed during a given period of time as I do return to stalled projects every now and then.

I don't know if this is anything that you can accommodate (i.e if you have space enough for a large enough DoS), or if it even would work for you, but it does work for me, so I thought I'd share.
May the Mojo find you!

Pellson   i have a very small shelf of doom,  mainly due to the fact that if i loose drive on a wargames project ( such as this one) i useully have multiples of the same thing to complete ( 2 more of this one ) so i have to be carefull or i loose units that take rather more room up partly done than all together. 
The other problem is that i dont want to get into the start  / stop /restart cycle as that will quickly create a bigger pile than i can cope with...  so i generally just wait and then carry on, this one is not that far from finished.

ive ended up packing an army and a half , and a bitto be  stored in the loft,  My Games Workshop Tau  done in Berlin brigade style camo, and the small force i have for the Privater Press Warmachine game a Cygnar  force with warjacks, and a good couple of dozen Infantry done in the US tan brown black 3 colour desert style. the other box going with them contains my original Necromunda gangs,  a large Orlock band, possibly 2 or 3 gangs worth,  the not Delaques i got from the very fine Heresy miniatures, the Spyera gang and the bits and pieces i had. Ive not used the first for years the second for longer and the 3rd for possibly over a decade.   But after the trouble i had to try to regain my wood elf army after i got rid of a large chunk, im not going to sell them on.

Done similar myself, so I can sympathize.
Lessons are there to be learned.

and undercoated a several sets of 3 pipes stacked on each other,  and a fish tank air line slitter array that has bee converted into a set of tank inlets.
and the landy set has got some more paint on it, moving forward as well.

wile browsing  i came across new on the Ground Zero Games site http://shop.groundzerogames.co.uk/    it seems that they will have been trading for 40 years next year,  i know ive been purchasing for around  35 of them, and have never had problems,  in fact im fairly certain that Jon has a tame black hole for delivery's, as wile ive yet to have an order arrive before ive placed it     Ive had a good many arrive the next day, even when offers have been on.  Wile they may not be everyone thing  have a look at the ranges,  i will say that the 25mm ranges are close to true 25 as well, and are truly wonderful,  If anyone remembers the small space ships ive had on the stand a few times they were the Full thrust UN deep range explorers.

You do realise that that phrase could/can start as big, if not a bigger, argument then Airfix's 2025 "New Kit" listing ?     

[Steel Penguin]

its the kind of hot button argument, that any sane gamer rapidly avoids....  i just dont want anyone to think that the size would be simeler to anything from say Games workshop in the last 25+ years,

Or the 'Correct OD/Russian Green Shade' debate, or the 'What colour is behind the rear windows of early P-40s' wrangle; the list is long and fractious, and it seems a lot of people out there happily spend more time flaming each other than they do modelling or gaming.
Life's too short and there's too much to build.
Though it can be fun to toss a grenade comment into the mix and watch the reactions...

Appreciated mate 

I haven't got that many "armies" left, an Austrian Marlburian, Han Chinese and maybe one or two others ? Your comments have got me thinking about digging them out and measuring them

You have to have a little fun now and then... 
And some people take themselves too seriously on occasion - myself included, though hopefully not as often nowadays.

I've mellowed as I've got older, but I do feel sorry for those who had to deal with me 30 or more years ago

I feel sorry* for those who've dealt with me at any stage... I seem to have a Default Mode of 'Spiky/Grumpy' and it only seems to be getting worse - I got the 'Intolerance Upgrade' somewhen along the timeline.

*Well, except when they deserve it...
