I had a lot of fun this week, even though I did things that don't sound that enjoyable!

I realized that one of my gaming projects was "out of control," so I did an inventory to figure out what I'd bought, what was painted, and (surprisingly) what was "missing." I mean, how does a whole box of minis just wander off? grin

I also rounded up some "loose minis" in the game room and properly stowed them away, arranging proper storage, and making things easier to find. It sounds so boring, but it's always a pleasure to see again the minis that are painted and waiting for game time!

And I spent some time prepping minis, filing off mold lines and imperfections so they will be ready for priming. OK, this part really is boring, but you have to keep in mind the eventual outcome…

I was doing a little looking around on Saturday. I am trying to find a box that has $200 USD to $300 USD hundred worth of Foundry figures in it, so I feel your pain.

Just buy some more of the ones that are missing. The missing ones will then show up. Easy. I have done it myself.

I agree. There's a real sense of satisfaction when the collection is neat, tidy and organized.

I need to do a bit of that myself. Mostly I need to make a bunch of labels. I've added to some collections, and the boxes are just marked with Post-Its.

One advantage to not really having a hobby room is it forces you to be organized.

Impressive looking storage Extra Crispy!

My game room, AKA the garage, has been used as a dumping area while we've been doing some house renovations over the last six months. Last weekend we cleared out the garage and I rediscovered many lost treasures. That part was a fun distraction. I also realised there are several projects that I had to reluctantly conclude will never get actualised…
