Tackling the tricky north face of the Lead Mountain...

[Luddite]

The enforced isolation and "downtime" we're mostly going through presents a rare opportunity to take much needed stock and to undertake a few expeditions up our personal Lead Mountain.

Here's my journey...

The lockdown is a very good time to do this sorting and painting.
I think that many of us have benefitted.

Indeed, and the recent unrest has led to being semi-off work yesterday and today (doing some tele-working so not full days off) and that is what I have been doing, the sorting portion, of my lead mountain range (did you steal the line from me, I've been using it for many years now!  ).  Made great progress on getting all those additions to the Old West assigned a place in the collection, mostly.  A few odd bits to peg in somewhere - or hold out for unusual gaming moments.   As to painting, most of the paint I've been applying to miniatures has been in the form of spray on primer.  I did actually do a wash on another 21 elephants so tiny bits of progress here and there.  I have bought in a number of buildings courtesy of some sales (now ended) and included a few miniatures along the way.  98.67% done with collecting miniatures except for German East Africa - which awaits developments at QRF for getting completed.  Or some number close to that! 

Love the nod to The North Face - made me think of The Eiger Sanction, though heck if I remember what face they were climbing in that movie.  Have to go check now.  I guess my memory hasn't entirely gone - it was the north face in the movie which I last saw when it was released in theaters a very long time ago.
