I haven't posted for a while because, well to put it frankly, winter does not agree with me. Add to that some health issues and my painting has slowed considerably. This had led me to ponder the future. Many of us are, shall I say, not teenagers any more and what do we do with our collections once we are no longer using them?
If I lived in the US or Europe, there is a demand for 25/28mm Napoleonic figures but in Australia, I see little interest so puting them up for sale (along with associated scenery and paints/tools) on Ebay seems pointless. It is not a current problem but I am 73 so it does come to mind from time to time. I just thought I would share my thoughts and see what others think.
On the painting front, my regiment of Victrix Austrian Carinthia Landwehr are nearly done and then my next project is metal Piano Wargames figures (I can't wait). I have a couple of vignettes I am thinking about so watch this space.
All the best to everyone - Chris.
Sorry to hear about the health issues Chris. Spring and Autumn are definitely the best time to paint in Brisbane. I find I start off OK in winter, but the more it drags on the harder it is to get downstairs at 6:00am to pick up the brushes for a few hours before work. Hope you are on the mend, and there is nothing like a few of the great Piano wargames figures to provide that but of extra motivation.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence, you are much more able than I as I can't get into anything (my age) until after 10:00am and, at least, two coffees! It will all have to wait a while as we have just had a new grandson in Adelaide so we will be spending time there.
