Some time ago, I mentioned that I was having a serious rethink about my future wargaming. Whilst I have been doing that, I have managed to publish the FOURTH PORTABLE WARGAME COMPENDIUM and paint quite a few HO/15mm-scale buildings ... and it was doing the latter that helped to formulate my ideas. I have therefore come to the following conclusions:
- That I will concentrate most of my efforts for the foreseeable future on my 15mm Belle Époque project.
- That I will continue to acquire 1/1200th-scale model ships for future naval wargames.
- That I will down-size my Napoleonic 25/28mm collection so that it is more manageable ... and thus more likely to be used!
- Suspend further work on my 20mm Eastern Front/Great Patriotic War project until such time as my 15mm Belle Époque project is as near complete as it is likely to be ... or until I need a break from it!
I also plan to carry on with my 009/H09 narrow gauge railway modelling and – if possible – to link it to my Belle Époque project.

Lovely loco Bob. Sounds like a good plan to link your games with your trains.
ReplyDeleteMike Potter's latest N-Gauge project is very inspirational in terms of layout building.
Maudlin Jack Tar,
DeleteIt is a very nice loco … and an excellent runner!
It seemed to make sense to me to create a model railway layout that I could also use for wargaming. Whether it will work or not is a different question!
All the best,
Bob
BOB,
ReplyDeleteIt is good to plan ahead for the future- having a definite plan helps to focus on success as you go along. I've only two objectives - to finish my Sci-Fi 25mm Ground Zero Figures and to complete the Boer War 15mm figures by ESSEX...not much involved other than painting up about 90 odd figures....apart from this I intend to continue reading Blogs and completing my own postings. All the best. KEV.

DeleteI think that having a plan helps … even if one doesn’t necessarily stick ridgedly to it.
Good luck with your two projects. I will follow your progress with great interest.
All the best,
Bob
I've think you've made clever decisions. Having narrowed your goal it's easier to stay focused andcreach your target. I hope you'll continue to share your progress on this blog.
ReplyDeleteRoger,
DeleteIt took me quite some time to reach my decisions, but I now feel that I have a feasible and realistic plan for the future.
You can rest assured that I will continue to blog about my progress. Its a good way to keep me on track!
All the best,
Bob
Sounds like you have more than enough on your plate to keep you busy for quite some time to come. I'm looking forward to seeing how these projects progress.
ReplyDeleteMark Cordone,
DeleteI hope that I'll be keeping busy for quite some time to come ... and I'll certainly be blogging about any progress that I make.
All the best,
Bob
BOB,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you will still collect your 1/1200th naval ships- it is a good collection you have so far with the WW2 Japanese- hope to see the American Fleet underway. Best Wishes. KEV.
Kev Robertson (Kev),
DeleteI have a few bids in on several 1/1200th-scale ships that are on sale on eBay, although one is not for World War 2 vessels.
All the best,
Bob
Always good to have a plan to deviate from :)
ReplyDeleteRoss Mac,
DeleteAs we both know, no plan survives long in the real world!
All the best,
Bob
