On a side note, I finished and posted the first issue of the Oldhammer in the New World Fanzine. I credit you and WBQ as the inspiration. I can send you a copy if you like. I just didn't want to spam you.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335839831734070531.post-12487342107960764182016-11-23T06:40:52.500+11:002016-11-23T06:40:52.500+11:00Lies, damn lies and statistics...

My interests seem to go in every darn direction and figuring out what I want to be painting 3 months from now seems almost impossible. I actually still have some unpainted minis that I prepped for my first Painting challenge in 2012-13...Samulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04768684644521312467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335839831734070531.post-10707405255188756512016-11-21T17:06:37.927+11:002016-11-21T17:06:37.927+11:00My aim is to get some stuff in my collection compl...My aim is to get some stuff in my collection completed and if it matches a theme challenge that's good but only a coincidence.

This will be my fish challenge too and I ave to say that I am thinking along similar lines, there will, I'm sure be a couple of bonus rounds, but I also need to push on with a couple of other projects.

Your post has brought a tear to my eye...Mr Millsy:<br /><br />Your post has brought a tear to my eye and a smile in the deep dark thing I call a heart. You've joined the spreadsheet clan and I'm proud of you.<br /><br />As for the "GIMP" status, it's true it was originally awarded for the Greatest Improvement in Miniature Production, but as I've peered into the actuarial columns for deeper meaning it's seems that the tour are the only person who can bear this title with such aplomb. You are now and always will be "a GIMP" in the hearts of miniature gamers around the world.<br /><br />Congrats Sir! I tip my brush to you.<br /><br />Milesjmilesrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961624317410579611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335839831734070531.post-30804863019700911762016-11-20T09:23:56.889+11:002016-11-20T09:23:56.889+11:00Indeed..!
