Vanvlak the good part is the last few 'new' hoplites will blend in with the old ones as my painting techniques have reverted to being as mediocre as they were.

The bad part is the new hoplites will blend in with the old.....etc. etc.  lol

I have both the Atlantic Roman Colosseum & the Egyptian temple that I bought when they were first released. I have done some work on the temple & might actually finish it some day. But the Colosseum I will probably never get around to. Shoud find someone doing 15mm/18mm gladiators that wants it.

I have a bunch of 1:600 scratch built Napoleonic ships which were started by my late brother in 1969.
One complete, the rest just hulls with no masts or rigging.
I inherited them after he died 20 years ago.
I finally completed them about 10 years ago (and discovered why he hadn't - what a faff they were to make)
So that's just over 35 years; but he had them for most of that time.

I've been working on a set of grand tactical ACW rules and the two divisions (15 mm) per side necessary to properly test them since the year 2000.

Let's see, made my range of 2mm sci-fi minis back in 2001 with the intention of writing a set of quick play rules  ::)

Then I sculpted the 10mm dungeon about 2003 ... Umm  :?

I can see a pattern forming here  8)

I bought a set of Van Saar minis around 1995.  I might have played one game with them. I finished painting them and adding more minis last year and this year I'll be playing my first Necromunda campaign.
How's 18 years from start to finish sound?

I've also got a Blood Angel Space Marine army that was started in '94. I added the last unit to it about 5 years ago, but I'm hoping to rebase and dip it this year and maybe add a few units that I've picked up.
20+ years?

I've also got Void Junkers and Squat armies in progress. Both these were started in the last few years but I'm consigned to the fact that it may take another 5 years or more before they're finished even though I've already got all the figs. They're forces for which I've mostly got all the figures but they take a back seat to other projects and that's OK.  I'm in this hobby for the long haul anyway.
