Or option (d) all of the above.

Actually nothing at the moment as the "room-to-room shit-shifting" that precedes every social event in our house (in this case, my wife's annual birthday barbecue) has led to the inevitable torrent of OPS (other people's shit) swamping my painting desk. Prior to that, my SP2 71st Foot force was in pole position.

However, as if the OPS tsunami was not enough, a box of 1/72 Revell SYW Austrian artillery decided to fall on them, totally unaided, from a place it had occupied without incident for over a year atop one of my bookshelves. And as luck(?) would have it, it chose to target the bayonet of one of the only two figures with a plastic weapon and snapped it.

Their punishment is to be dispatched to the Colonies where I'm hoping that Ochoin will ensure that they suffer repeated massacres at the hands of Prussian cavalry (I'm very much a traditionalist when it comes to social retribution).

Usually 3-4 things at once, in different stages. One is generally terrain/scenery related.
Currently looking at:
6mm SYW
6mm 19th century
hit/damage markers
sabot bases
terrain boards

Above my head on the bookcase I have 15mm British heavy cavalry for Waterloo. Scots Greys, Dragoon etc Primed black some four years ago. 12 figures in each of the six regiments.

At the moment my painting sty has a fair bit going on

Wargames - 28mm Romans, 28mm Dwarves, 15mm Sci Fi, 15mm Napoleonic, 28mm Napoleonic
Subbuteo - Fiorentina 1969, Bologna 1969, Palermo 1969, Ajax 1969, Derby County 1892, Forest 1892, 60s spectators
Miscellaneous - Stones to hide for the local kids to find.

I'm a bit obsessed with the SYW at the moment (...n-o-o-o!....).

So: at various stages, the 40 infantry figures needed for another 2 battalion Austrian regiment, various bits of Zvevda figures needed for my "Frankenstein" Austrian cuirassiers & I'm scratch building a limber for said Austrian SYW army.

Boring, ain't I?

It sounds like you’ve got a little Purps inside you

Own fault for picking up the soap!

Which bit of him?

28mm Punic Wars, various manufacturers. When these reach basic playability then I will venture into the Lead Pimple for something different not involving bronze. Probably 28mm ACW at a guess.

Having just finished a 48 figure 28mm pike block, I know the feeling penda!
