Not so much what /have /I been painting as what /am /I going to paint 
now that the holidays are over, time, space and weather permitting.

Basically, lotsa starships. <g>

I have a neoBSG Colonial Fleet to finish by painting half-a-dozen 
escorts, and a matching Cylon fleet to paint -- plus, of course, a 
zillion fighters to go with the ships. Then there's the "retro" fleet, 
designed in a similar style to the famous SSC /Leif Ericson/, which I'm 
painting up as a Second Empire of Man Imperial fleet (kinda emulating 
Niven and Pournelle, who turned the LE into INSS /MacArthur/ -- and yes,

I have an /Old Mac/, plus Jack Cargill's /Patton/); still working out 
how to build a Lenin in scale, though -- think I can use model rocket 
parts for the nose and main hull, but the tail is a bit more difficult.

And then there's the odds and sods I have and/or pick up; for instance, 
I'm getting a Spartan Games Gas Mining Vessel, which ought to go very 
well with the GZG Refinery Ship; combine them both with a scratch-built 
bulk carrier/colony ship that I have, and they might make a neat target 
for a scenario involving pirates or commerce raiders... but I gotta 
build and paint them first.

So, as usual, more metal/resin than one can deal with, but that's 
(gaming) life, isn't it? <g>
