500 figures a month?

[Pijlie]

Aren't we supposed to do this for fun? Do you have any time to PLAY a game with this schedule?

This is fun for me.

I haven't had a game since... August maybe. Can't quite recall, don't really miss it.

And before you ask: Most of the minis I'm painting now will probably never be fielded in a game. Though this is not different from most of my other 4000+ painted minis.

Don't get me wrong: I'm NOT a display painter. And I do like a good game -- I just don't have a need to fill time with mediocre ones.

500 15 mm figures in a month in assembly line fashion is very doable.  Been there a few times.  Basing - use cardboard strips and white glue, best method, easy removal!  Go for it!  You will do this!  Or answer to...yourself, the harshest critic you will ever face.

Go Man Go!!! I'm rooting for you!

My personal best was about 1005 in one year.  500 in a month is Hall-of-Fame status!

I am open to suggestions about rules for modern micro armor.

I have Cold War Commander, and while I like them on principle, the actual implementation leaves something to be desired. However, that is the general complexity level I'm looking for.

Here's a couple more pics. More at the site.

Utter madness  In a very positive way

They look good!

Thanks.

I rationalized the 15mm basing process and got the first platoon basing started last night (the gunk takes overnight to dry).

I'll write up a short tutorial on it when I have a bit of time.

Ok, here's the tutorial:

As usual, the pics are lagging behind due glue drying times. I'll take more pics tonight.

Three hundred down!

179 to go.

Here are a few examples of recent production:





How all of this is really Haman Kahn's fault: http://www.smallcuts.net/blog/?id=1900

Good grief, 300 down?!
I couldn't undercoat that many with a spray can in a month....

Nice stuff too

I think I haven't painted 300 minis during my whole hobby history... 

It seems that 500 is no biggie for you at all
