I’m currently fixed on 25mm Staddens.
Blimey! Where are you getting them from? I have some Stadden Napoleonic 25s....gorgeous, but very slim figures. I'd definitely go with 18mm as a max.

Also Surens Willy figures.
Yes. Spencer Smiths also carry them but obviously you’d wait 34 years for them to arrive. I’d love to do a featherstonesque project in awi with them to.
All for the future :geek:

You can plan these sort of things. Most of us don't have enough future left to fit it all in...

I'll not be starting anything new after I reach 50. That way i'll have a chance of not leaving a huge mountain of unpainted lead for the bin men to shift!

When you reach a certain age you stop planning anything new. Instead you start planning to finish some of things you have started.

Of course you have to buy a few extra bit and pieces to finish of things.

My classic Napoleonics count as something that I am finishing as some of the figures I have had for nearly 50 years.

For some of us it's heading towards us like a big doom-laden cloud of, er, doom.
