The metal should be easy to sell if I loose interest, but the plastics might be a problem.<br /><br />But I have been down that road with my ACW minis before. Huge stock (although not quiet as huge as this one) and lost interest. But most of that has been sold off. What remains now are the minis to paint a few regiment should I want a few more, lots of dismounted cavalry and/or the odd rare mini.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227525544754109991.post-29682276220199496032013-11-20T18:46:54.449-06:002013-11-20T18:46:54.449-06:00Great looking figures.

That's by choice! 28mm is a bit pricey and I do worry about what people will turn out to play, and all that. I do have plenty of 15mm on ice. There is a half painted Dailami army I might turn my attention to. Finishing the 28mm lead mountain just opens up other mountains.
