As requested…

May I suggest the creation of a new category in the Forums, specifically for 30mm Flat figures? It could be under the General category, as it would normally attract painters/collectors/gamers from many eras. As the flats require a different approach in both painting and gaming than 3D figures, I believe it is a good idea to have a dedicated area for their discussions. Lately, there have been several threads on this topic, and a dedicated forum might increase interest and traffic!

Voila! The Flats board…

This is a new board that actually makes sense! grin

Another board to uncheck. Not because the subject is not of interest--I collect flats--but in general disapproval of the continued proliferation of threads.

If there has been a sudden burst of flat-related threads recently, I certainly missed them, so I don't suppose I will miss anything in the future very much.

Did you mean to say proliferation of boards?

aecurtis Fezian12 Jul 2007 5:50 p.m. PST

Yes.

Hurray I'm going to start a thread a day!

Sorry Allen it had to be said.

Of course it may or maynot be on the flats bd--erhmmm!

Oh, I suppose John is correct in his assessment. It is a subject deserving of a separate board on The *Miniatures* Page. There really is not much crossover with other "collector" miniatures genres.

So when does TMP get a "G.I. Joe" board? Or a Hummel board? evil grin

How about a collectable mini board and a prepainted figure board?

More boards the better!!

We already have a CMG board… grin

Thanks, Editor !

Allen, most all of the flats threads had been posted in the relative obscurity of the 18th Century forum. ;-)

A board on flats? I'd much rather have a board for 44DDs!

Okay, I'm sorry. I've been drinking tonight…

So that explains why I have so many flats threads on my front page on TMP all of a sudden. It sounds like a good idea. A lot of figure painters could stand to learn a thing or two about painting techniques from flats painters.

I thought Americans called them "apartments."

Dropzonetoe Fezian13 Jul 2007 5:09 a.m. PST

We do… I was trying to figure out why we now have a board for housing grin


I just spent the last three days hanging drywall at my mother-in-laws house. I was hoping to talk about it in there.

Hmmm, do we have a home improvement board? Time to start wading thru the board jungle.

Doctor Livingston I presume

THANKS, Bill!

Martin Rapier13 Jul 2007 6:00 a.m. PST

Not another one.

'Wargaming' and 'Other Stuff', it is all we need.

Palafox13 Jul 2007 6:22 a.m. PST

I agree with several boards, but..

Is there anyone wargaming with flats?.

Dropzonetoe Fezian13 Jul 2007 6:46 a.m. PST

Martin, I was joking BTW. Got so many boards I don't even know what we have anymore.

Funny you should ask

Can we have a bloody 'Index' board to index the boards that already exist? Because it's all becoming a little unwieldy
