I've since had several different ranges and even delved into 15mm (see Garrison gallery). What do I have on my desk now? Garrison 20mm Greeks and Persians. Why no Minifigs 'S' Range? Because they (as in the previous owners) wouldn't sell me any.<br /><br />I don't believe in finishing armies, it doesn't work.Rob Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02533996736711014752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-56150196233264025872009-12-03T13:21:41.609-06:002009-12-03T13:21:41.609-06:00Finish?

Not for me, oh don't get me wrong, I like the exhilaration of fielding a new unit or figure but I dread that sense of impending closure that means there are no more figures to paint. (Perhaps that is why I finish so few?) Past experience tells me that if I declare "Done!" then I will slowly cease to play with that army as a new one grabs my imagination. As M Protz likes to say we tend to play what we paint and for me I always hanker to paint what I just played or am about to play. Long live the open ended collection!
