Probably easier to list what isn’t on my table, but not much painting going on. I did clean it off (sort of) this morning, so here’s a pic:
QRF 15mm Vickers MkIIIs, a few T34s, a couple of skeletal dinosaurs, some Peter Pig African regulars, a bunch of 6mm aircraft (I-94/Raiden and Scotia), cold war US mircro-armor, star ships for Star Trek, 28mm post-apoc mercs, and a 1/72 OV-10 Bronco still waiting for decals, among the heap.
15mm French SYW cavalry and a 1/72 Soviet Mi 28 Havoc:
'The time has come" The walrus said. "To talk of many things: Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--Of cabbages--and kings--And why the sea is boiling hot--And whether pigs have wings."
I’m working on a United Nations armored task force at 3mm scale, hopefully to hit the table come Saturday.
I am down to finishing off the last unpainted items in my collection http://hereticalgaming.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/the-bottom-of-lead-mountain-and-plastic.html
A few Zvezda 1/100 WW2 vehicles
Some 6mm buildings, some from Commission Figurines (their Waterloo mdfs) and some from Leven miniatures (Viking and NW Europe)
A few odds and ends 28mm fantasy figures (for my daughter)
…that’s it.

Wow all due respect you have reached a state of wargaming life I think we all dream of attaining.
ah-ha some crudely painted bad guys!
Just waiting on the bases to dry before finishing them off.
Assembling 28mm Eureka miniatures Gendarmes for a friend to paint for $$ and Joust rules from Two Hour Wargames (THW) convention game.
Yoshitaka-san!
His particle cannon is primed, his missiles are armed, his paint… well, not quite yet.
Some hero’s and wolves to do.
Not sure how much effort to put into them, good thing about the wolves is that they are easy to re-use so a good paintjob could get it’s money’s worth.
I am finishing some Command Decision units that I started in the 90’s. Some old vehicles and some no frills speed painting.
Next up will be finishing Warhammer 40k figures (Around 20). I have never played 40K, I simply found some Space marine models in GW back in 2000 that I liked and wanted to paint. I’ll either display some of them (if I get a wargames room next year) or sell them.

I wonder what the record is on that, for time to complete a unit?
Turns out the Iranian Grey Wolf is not really that grey…
Nicely painted wolves Mike, and I have learnt something today
, there again black horses are not really black.I am working on some 40K Space Marines for testing\practice as I try out some shades of red, blue and gold. I don’t play 40K, I just like the figures and hope to then crack into some Ion Age 15mm figures I have afterwards.
In an effort to try and stay motivated to paint, I will be adding things here and maybe some of you could chase me up if I go a few days without posting something new?

3 rocky outcrops
slave girl
basket of food

Here’s a challenge for the kids amongst us (ie: those that didn’t use 1″tape and/or Hollerith punch cards for their first progamming efforts almost a half-century ago – get off my lawn!)…
Perhaps based on something like the Uber model, come up with an app (lookit the old guy using slang!) that contracts a dedicated ‘annoyer’ to show up at one’s address at a given rate to inquire as to the progress made on a particular task. Pics and such proof would remove the slacker stigma of laziness.
This would work, I should think, for many areas: gardening, painting, writing, home-improvement…even drudgeries such as housecleaning -imagine if the neighbors knew you hadn’t washed the ____ in over a month?
I think you’re onto something here, angelbarracks, and even though it’s been done a gazzilion times before (ie: asking for internet encouragement) I think that jumping on the commercialization of the idea could be a big revenue stream for TWW. –or at the very least encourage the development of a genre of new games…which you should still get a piece of… ; )
