I still have a dozen or so 90% painted Old Glory Gauls that have been awaiting a few hours work to be done... for about 5 years. I just c an't make myself do them. <br />Perhaps, as Jon implies, if I divided them in, say... three parts? :-)Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-20293934755050663132017-09-21T08:58:08.083+09:002017-09-21T08:58:08.083+09:00Cheers Tony - I was actually partly inspired by yo...Cheers Tony - I was actually partly inspired by your recent magnificent efforts in 20mm!Prufrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659918463589870423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-25807265780423423132017-09-21T08:57:26.188+09:002017-09-21T08:57:26.188+09:00A very late start to painting this year, so a bit ...A very late start to painting this year, so a bit of catching up to do!

Was it the sculpting, the pose, variety in uniforms, tackling too many in one batch, or something else?<br /><br />I don't recall hating a particular figure but there are pieces that I do not particularly enjoy painting. Artillery limbers are in this classification.<br /><br />Tackling too many figures at one time can raise the sense of "can I just be done with this!" but limiting the number of figures in a "unit" helps reduce this emotion.<br /><br />Anyway, you powered through and I like the results. Now, on to Lost Battles!<br /><br />Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-41475643198017499522017-09-20T19:45:57.340+09:002017-09-20T19:45:57.340+09:00Yes, it would!
