sell off and concentration on one period

[sakura]

hi
as part of a major rethink and rationalisation of my collection with failing eyesight i have decided to concemtrate on loa and sell off all my other figures
as such i have the following armies to sell

samurai largely unpainted
flodden scots half and half
late romaan half and halffrench napoleonic based and  i think well painted
austrian as above
fpw french and prussian/bavarian


hope this post is ok to do and will reinvest in loa
cheers

I think your post is very intelligent (a Mod will have to decide if it is OK  )
Sorry that you are struggling with your eyesight. I guess each of use have to take rational decisions from time to time.
I have had similar misgivings about being too wide ranging (and having not been in the hobby for a large portion of my life
finding it hard to catch up). The reading and research alone is overwhelming.

Good luck!

Good luck with it all

How bad is your eyesight?

I used to wear very strong varifocals for driving and work. These needed replacing every 18 months costing around £400.

I retired in 2009 and the first thing I did was to get a consultancy on my eyesight which led me to having them laser adjusted. Cost me £1000.

I now have 20:20+ distance vision and only wear cheap reading glasses to read and paint.

I am painting as well as I ever did. I'm 66.

Go get checked.

hi
thanks for all the kind words
just had an op and waiting for another to clear cataracts
i can paint better than ever but i want to stop the volume really
it is more precautionary but i wont be able to paint these
i love pendraken and my napo;eonics are great en masse but love the loa so its them i will keep
have fpw but cant get the bases to finish off and rebasing is just too daunting so will keep them to hopefully get the renaissance ink bases second hand
cheers

What sort of bases are you struggling to find?

My mum, in her late 70s, recently had cataract surgery. She says she couldn't work out what she'd been worried about.

I remember concentrating on one period (ACW) between 1966 and 1969, then I discovered Crimean War figures (Minifigs 25mm, sold on decades ago).
