Agree! Plus, it's always nice to see some colorful ACW figures like those Zouaves.

Thanks, chaps! But lately I've not had the muse for painting much at all really, just two Pulp Figures in a week almost. Strange, is n't it, how we all view our standards and productivity in relation to others?

But you have the advantage of being retired. Not that I'm jealous, mind...........  Well, just a bit..............

Thanks, Jon, I was just going to post again, as on reflection I thought what I'd said, or rather not said, might make me sound rather more pompous than usual. I have a great deal of time and few responsibilities, so actually I think I'm pretty unproductive in the circumstances. I really think I probably painted as much when I was at work, but that could be a false perspective.

I know, from being off ill long term in the past, that days fly by.  If you want something done ask a busy man, I was told once.   

No, you carry on posting, I'm certain that there are loads of folk, like me, that love to view your work and eye-candy website regularly......................

I think that's probably true, Jon.

Seconded, keep posting.

I've been teaching for a week, and I think I painted more in January, so far, than most months.  Incidentally, in January last year I set myself the task of adding 100 finished items a month to my collection.  I mad just over 1200 last year.  Admittedly, some of it, like Lledo cars and some Wizzkids stuff was already painted, but I just cut corners on the detail.  Don't worry, I have enough in my backlog to keep me going for 10 years without purchasing, which I can't resist.  I just do a lot of black undercoat and drybrush it.  I wish I had your skill, though.

When I retire I hope to be able to emulate your ability, attention to detail and your website.  But, if there's one thing I learnt last year, it is essential to keep your social life, no matter what.  Monday is wargames and Wednesday is Kendo, these are absolutes.  I spent too long thinking my career was my life.
