So It Begins

I have fallen in love with collecting 1/72 scale (20mm) figures. However, I have one major problem... I have no real games to use them in. So I collect and collect and typically don't have a real reason to paint them because I really don't get to use them.

Mostly, I had been collecting plastic kits until I discovered 20mm metal figures. Then it hit me. I could paint up 100 unique figures... that would be AWESOME. And so I started collecting and before I knew it I had 47 figures in various stages of painting (and by various stages I mean largely unpainted)

I surmised that I could have 100 figures done in no time (with the proper motivation). Plus it wasn't that much of a challenge to find 100 figures So why not 200 and then 300. Eventually, I settled on 1000. It would be a daunting task to paint 1000 unique figures. I would have the added benefit of becoming a better painter in the process.

So here it goes.. the journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step. Or something like that.
