You were asked – TMP link So have you ever redone a project because newer better figures came out? Phasing out the old and bringing in the new?I have a friend who redid his entire Russian Flames of War army in plastic. And sold off the older metal figures. In my case, I am rebuilding my Ottoman Napoleonic Army, because several newer ranges are out now in 28mm. 60% said "no, I have not redone any projects" 26% said "yes, I have redone a project" 9% said "yes, I have redone many projects" |

Unfortunately, I have redone many projects, at least one 4 times. |

I've redone my Vikings, shifting from Ral Partha and Citadel small 25 mm figures to Foundry/Gripping Beast/Old Glory Vikings at 28-30 mm. I sold off about half the painted figures at the start, as a sort of burning bridges behind me philosophy, then sold off the rest as I bought and painted new figures. This year, I noticed somebody doing World War II armies for less well documented countries that looked very nice, and wondered if they would get around to WWII Greeks. Would I want to replace some/all/none of my existing Greek army? Grelber |

Whole projects, mostly no. As I said I did replace my ACW from 1/72 plastics to 22mm metals. Individual figures are another matter. Currently, on the painting table, are a bunch of medieval figure (both new and getting updated). At least three that were to be updated just got tossed in to the stripper. |

Yes, replaced all my old Zulu war 20mm with 28mm, same with Napoleonics and Ancients. Sold off all the old stuff |

I am starting to redo my 15mm ACW Union figures. I am replacing some of my 28mm AWI with Perry and Foundry figures. |

Redone the scenario campaign or the like, possibly even the buildings at a smaller scale, re-do the figures NEVER life is too short. |

Sold off my 40k Space Marines to help finance my wedding. Bought the lot in metal for my 20th wedding anniversary (still have not painted them maybe this year?). |
