Happy memories! And true enough, older style figures are easier to paint to a good 'nostalgic' look.

I also painted them using a "just good enough" style rather than spending the normal amount of time that I invest on the modern figures.Der Alte Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578422757511400566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-79812276651645274312009-02-16T18:46:00.000-06:002009-02-16T18:46:00.000-06:00Spread sheet..inventory..self restraint even!

Those Minden Austrian castings were sitting in my basement for almost a year. Same with some of those Crusader dragoon and hussar figures. Now I know what I need to complete a unit.Der Alte Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578422757511400566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-46972458790625590812009-02-16T00:17:00.000-06:002009-02-16T00:17:00.000-06:00You guys with your spreadsheets and plans and orga...You guys with your spreadsheets and plans and organization! :-)<BR/>I am so hap-hazard about my approach to collecting and painting minis... maybe I should get a little more organized.
