Interesting, hope you succee to fulfill it.
One minor point. Although Tethys is one very nice name I would better see it for an expedition ship or a research vessel, rather than a tramp steamer.

That's the spirit! Proper organisation  
Good luck with all of them, take loads of pictures as you go.

I am once again overawed by the planning and organisation that goes into other people's projects.

Does nobody else paint in a seemingly random manner, influenced only by what they last saw on tv and how much time they have that day?

"Hmmm... The Lost World TV series is really crap, but I can probably get half a raptor done by tea time. Then I promised I'd watch Lord of the Rings with the Woman later.... Where'd I put that halfling...?"

It can't be just me, surely?  :cry:  ::

It's not just you mate, my planning is very 'fluid' as well.

I was all set that this year I was to bring my WWII forces up from squads to platoons, then get to work on jungle scenery for the lost world and troops for the Vietnam war.

As such I've mostly been painting SciFi stuff.  

The Vietnam project got as far as two 1:48 scale Hueys undercoated.

The new plan is more modern Brits to be UNIT to fight the Daleks.

Those Brits then become actual modern Brits to fight the troops of a fictional Eastern European country, which is the next project.

All the while I'll be making jungle and European scenery.

And a new Stargate.

And painting up my Storm Trooper squad for Star Wars.

And some more Rebel Aliens for Star Wars.

Also more Dinosaurs.

And my scheme to do a fancy Cluedo set using Thrilling Tales models.

Then Vietnam.

Once I've got a squad of US Troops for Vietnam, they're going to have to fight the Predator too.  So some Not Predator models from Old Crow.

And those WWII Germans and British.

All this will of course change next week, when I read a new book, see a new movie or someone posts something so cool here that I have to give it a go, again.

Nope you are not alone, do you realise how many episodes of Sweeney, life on mars and ashes to ashe I had to watch to paint my Geezers up :roll:

Good luck Ironworker - and post pics:)

But - God bless you JollyBob and Revford and Lowtardog - that's my approach too!  

[Plynkes]

Wow. That's crazy talk. That would be about four years worth of projects for me! But good on you sir. Aim high, that's what I say. Can't hurt.

I gotta tell you that having it all laid out like that does make it pretty scarry.  

There are a couple projects that I already have fully preped like the Freikorps and the Marines.  

This months project of the tramp steamer and crew is definately one that I'm a bit worried about.  I'm going for simple and functional on the steamer but then I'm going to try to paint it up as nicely as I can with a lot of pealing paint and dripping rust.  I really have only the vaguest idea where to start with it.
