The "how many projects" thread got me wondering; how many of your projects are DONE. By which I mean you have everythign painted, terrain, rules, etc. and (today) have NO intention to add anything? My naval periods all fit this: ACW Ironclads, WW1, Age of Sail, Galleys. Do you have nay projects that are finished? |

6mm Dirtside II. It has been in a box in Storage for about 15 years… WH40K. I don't even know what I have for it any more, it is so done that I occasionally cannibalize it for other projects. |

Hmmm I would say my Mexican Revolutionary Armies are pretty much all done I have a couple other armies that are close to being done |

The only projects that I can say are finished are ones that I have sold off. Anything else can always have improvements made to them. |

My ACW naval stuff is all finished. My Carlist War stuff is as finished as it is going to be until the Perry's release some new stuff for it. I can always use more casualties for the actual Carlists. I might also get a few skirmishers but it is pretty much done. For the next long period of time, possibly forever, my 6mm Dark Angel army is done. |

My ACW FnF Brigade project is done. Both sides as well as my AWI project for AoR. My SYW and MAW projects are another 30% done. |
Martin Rapier | 17 May 2016 11:06 p.m. PST |
I'd always hesitate to say I'll never add anything. There are some projects where I've not added anything for a few years, and I am unlikely to, but with most things there is always more stuff to add. Or you can rebase everything:) I am never done trying out new rules, whatever the period. |

None. I plan to add to everything I am working on. |
Hal Thinglum | 18 May 2016 4:40 a.m. PST |
I'm done with my 20mm ACW, 20mm FPW and 25mm AWI. Except for mounting and basing, I'm done with 15mm and 28mm SYW. Too many "undone" projects and getting old enough to think I have to do something with them besides keep them. |

I built a 1 to 10 scale Republican Rome legion in 1/300 heroics and ross. It is on a nice display board in the classic manipual deployment…that is completed! |

I have been "done " with a few projects, but then some new stuff comes out and I add it to the lead pile to get worked into painting. |
Doug MSC | 18 May 2016 5:21 a.m. PST |
No. My four projects are still alive! |
KSmyth | 18 May 2016 5:37 a.m. PST |
I finished my Maxmillian in Mexico project-mostly because figures weren't available for the longest time. Thought about cracking it open again to add some of the new stuff, but calling it good for now. |
nazrat | 18 May 2016 6:15 a.m. PST |
No such thing, since even once things are done I will buy MORE. 8)= |

15mm DBA is done 28mm ACW is done. There are no battles which I can't do. (thanks Greg) 28mm SYW is done for Lobositz. Need more figures for other battles |

Is there a typo in the subject line for this thread? I'm having trouble understanding what it means for a project to be finished. I know what each of the words means, but putting them together, in the context of gaming, and I just start losing focus, and start looking around and … Oooh, look at that! I could do that!

Just when I think I am out, they pull me back in! |
Green Tiger | 18 May 2016 7:39 a.m. PST |
None – I have many that have sufficient units to mount a game but even those generally have ea few units that never got finished. |
etotheipi | 18 May 2016 7:40 a.m. PST |
All my projects are done, that is, they have a useful amount of content. None of my projects are such that I have no intention to expand on them. I would expect to expand them in additional new directions, mostly inspired by what I see others doing. While you're green, you're growin'. Once you're ripe, you start to rot. |
Mako11 | 18 May 2016 10:29 a.m. PST |
Can you explain this concept of "finished" further. It is an alien term to me. |
kallman | 18 May 2016 1:29 p.m. PST |
+1 etotheipi I have projects that are mostly done such as my 28 mm WW II North Africa 8th Army and DAK. Yet there is always room for more terrain, vehicles, and then I still do not have Italians, Vichy or Free French, Arab civilians, Ramke's Brigade, LRDG, and the myriad of British Commonwealth forces that fought in North Africa. Yet I can put on a pretty substantive game for this period of the war with what I do have finished. I've of course sold off a lot of finished stuff recently. Therefore the lead/plastic/resin pile is smaller but still had much to go before it is complete. The only other project I have done to a level where I have plenty to put on a game is my 15 mm Science Fiction and again there is still more I want to add to this. So no not done. There are just projects that are more complete. |

I have collections I stopped adding too years ago but I have not finished painting all of them. I have completed a few projects of specific forces needed for a convention game but my collections in those areas is still growing. So, no I don't really get finished either. |
Dexter Ward | 19 May 2016 3:57 a.m. PST |
Loads of completed projects, yes: 6 complete 28mm ancient armies 2 20mm ECW armies About a hundred or so Wild West figures 50 or so gladiators 100 or so French & Indian war figures 2 20mm ACW armies 3 28mm Napoleonic armies 2 20mm Zulu War armies 6 20mm WW2 armies A couple of 1:2400 Napoleonic fleets 2 1:3000 WW1 fleets 3 1:3000 WW2 fleets A bunch of 1:600 battle of Britain planes All of those are finished in the sense that I don't need any more, have no unpainted stuff to paint up for them, and am unlikely ever to add any more stuff to any of them Currently finishing off my Bronze Age stuff. |
Great War Ace | 19 May 2016 5:00 a.m. PST |
I started miniature wargaming to refight the battle of Hastings. Some thirty years later, both armies were "done". I haven't added a single fig to either side since. Along the way, fantasy and spinoff periods of interest added other armies to my collection. But none of them involved a "project" per se…. |
