Some people have far too much time on their hands

I think it's ironic that my lead pile always increases the most when I'm preparing for the LPL, whereas the LPL is supposed to be me decreasing my lead pile.

That happened to me when I was in the League. Started off with all these good intentions of painting and entering figures from my gaming projects and in the end very little of what I entered ended up being stuff I even intend to game with. It's still all sitting in boxes having never been touched.

I just kept getting these flashes of inspiration. "Wow, I just had an amazing idea for a team!" And so on, and so on...

It was a total waste of time as far as clearing the backlog went. But I was enjoying painting all those different things so much that I didn't care.

I wish I'd have a flash of inspiration for Round 10. It sounds dumb, but I don't really have much time to review movies for ideas. I keep playing movies while I'm painting, but it's difficult to generate ideas re movie scenes when one isn't watching the movie scenes.

And I don't like the idea of submitting minis that were made to be movie scenes, such as Conquest indians, Brigade arabs, etc.

Well I have a couple of ideas, but I haven't decided if I'm going to enter yet. I just paint too damn slowly these days. I needed to have started weeks ago to have had any hope of getting ten entries in.

Erm, wasn't it you who just advised someone in the other LPL thread that six or seven entries would be enough?

Plynkes · « **Reply #82 on:** February 10, 2011, 05:32:10 PM »

Well, yes. I did say that, didn't I.

I said nobody would mind if he was a few entries short, and I'm sure nobody else would mind if I was either.

But I'd mind.

I know exactly what you mean.

I have all ten entries picked out of the Lead pile.
But I only have 5 painted figures so far. The shame is that the 5 figures are spread over 3 teams.
I have, what I think, is a good idea for round ten but not sure if I am going to have time to finish it

I've got the first three entries done dusted and photographed, but then I'm a professional

No great progress yet, but at least I have the first round figs mounted and primed. One fig half painted.

Also have two minis finished for an inbetween round, minis for round 10 purchased (and possibly arrived, haven't been to claim a parcel I've got waiting on me) and a few other rounds worth of figs are ready to take paint. With a newborn baby, I'm certain I won't have a new team for every round but hope to be able to do round 1 and round 10 properly, with a few new teams inbetween.

Another issue with Round 10 can be although there are lots of movies to choose from, representing 5 "heroes" and 5 "opponents" plus scenery really reduces the number of movies that can be used. Add to that movies that can represented properly with minis and the choices are much more difficult...I do love a good challenge.

I LOVE round 10, I had to browse through all my dvd collection members of which I had an idea it had a large battle, to find something more obscure yet not to far away from mainstream to get a hopefully unique (as in, the only one of that particular movie) entry done.
