Day Of Admin Rather Than Progress

I've always thought it's better to have a plan. I used to regularly say that failing to plan is planning to fail. Then kids came on the scene and it became failing to plan saves me about twenty minutes of wasted time every day. This is said tongue in cheek. It doesn't really apply to gaming. As far as kids are concerned, it is good to have a plan. Just don't expect it to happen.

So it's not been a bad day. The game of the day has been prep and admin. I've found some more sabot bases. As I plan to do some more painting of these, it seemed appropriate to finish these off all together. 
There are some more sUnderDground minis ready for next week. These are planned to be fascists in the game. So some Warlord Winter Germans from various sets. There are some zombies in the mix too. Somewhere I found a Eureka Bundeswehr. This should be another quick project. There are a couple of civilian (well armed civilian) casualties.
The sUnderDground project looks like an ongoing project. So there are a few more primed minis. These are a bit more of a mixed bag. Americans, Japanese, Germans and Brits. And a few zombies.
I got these from a car boot a few weeks ago. I like the guy, who I see fairly regularly. Always has something I want. A few more dark age minis can't hurt right? I'm not a big fan of the metallic blue (although it would be amazing as a colour for magic weapons) and there are a few bits that I need to look at to make them fit with my stuff.

Maybe I can get to doing something a bit more productive.

The blog seems to be doing okay. I mean the number of posts is up again. So I must be in an up phase. Will see how that goes. The last year has seen a third of the sites total hits. I must be affecting the outcome of everyone's AI searches.

Finishing Off

I think that is the right phrase. I just finished off ten Athena Miniatures. This leaves me with a bit of a problem. Inasmuch as I have no idea what to do next.
Ive also managed to get some basing texture on the wattle fencing. This felt like a bit of a mission. They still need priming. Not to mention painting.
There are also a few more basing sabots in progress. Whilst there is no immediate need for them, it's probably better to get them done. Although maybe if I left them long enough they would accumulate enough texture without the need for glue. This is less than half of what I did last week but then I am not sure I need that more. There are a few more infantry bases done and I think some skirmish bases too, although I can't remember what I did with them if indeed I didn't give them away.
I should probably finish these  bases first. Something tells me I will get a bit lost in the work. There are other projects.
