As I mentioned at the end of my last post here, I am devoting my focus this year to my model railroad hobby - and it is going along very nicely, thank you very much - rather than miniatures. This may seem odd to some, especially considering the size and scope of my collection. But model railroading is my larger point of joy. This in no way means I'm abandoning the other hobby I enjoy - though I may seek some adjustments in who I spend my time with just for a change of pace, amongst other reasons. I do hope for one substantial benefit from this year I've termed the year of benign neglect of miniatures (though not entire abandonment since I hope to do at least some painting and basing/texturing). And that is that by the end of the year it will be easier to let go of the excess both of periods and of numbers of figures. So, again, expect fewer posts this year than in prior ones. Though, a light of hope for some of you, my wild west town scratch building project is now more accessible than it was before and I just might be posting progress if I make any.
Enough for now. Keep enjoying what gives you joy, whatever it is, as long as it doesn't involve harming others. My simple life guiding rule; works for me.
Where playing with toy soldiers is the whole point - and sharing the joy of doing so. And keeping a record of what's been done and what is still awaiting completion. A note of caution for those unfamiliar: this activity can be remarkably addictive and take over your free time. Well, now wait a minute, it's so much fun that shouldn't be a problem. Oh, that's right. It's not! (title with asterisk in bar below is newest or most recent modification to a Page topic)
You are missed at the library meetings my friend....and I need all the Napoleonic generals I can get! Take care and be well.
