@zoidpinhead it’s not the stuff as such. I’ve opened up all of the ‘salvage boxes’ and the minis themselves look good enough.

It’s CGL’s attitude that has killed of any enthusiasm I had, which makes it hard to get going with the project itself.

Of course it doesn’t help that I didn’t get the starter sets that I had wanted, but even with them I doubt I would have had much good will left.

OTOH … there’s plenty of projects I can/want to do.
Over on the OTT Discord Jamescutts posted a link to the new WW 2 Germans that Victrix are making :
German Infantry & Heavy Weapons

And a box of that fell into my shopping basket as it were.

Of course it helped that :

1. they had posted images comparing their Germans to Warlord Games (a great match)
2. great value (slightly cheaper than an equivalent box from Warlord Games
3. it includes medium mortar and machinegun … (which the Warlord box doesn’t have)

So yeah … that’s another project that’s “incoming” in the near future, because ‘why not’ ? 😀

That’s what I meant by the distractions that generally tend to stop me from finishing (or even starting) projects in my existing pile of opportunity.

Heck, I had planned on organising my hobby room and getting it ready for actual use … but it’s sunday now and it hasn’t happened yet.

@grantinvanman and yet at school the students excelled at doing ‘just enough’ to get a passing grade. (which annoyed me as I myself could get good grades with little extra effort)
It’s one thing to not go for perfection, but IMHO you should at least go for 80% instead of 50,0999% …
