WIP and backlog

I have far too many unfinished units and so have decided to get rid of the backlog. As you can see from the sea of black primer there are all sorts here. I wonder if you guys are the same?

 Two units of Cuirassiers are now getting the love and attention they need after 1.5 years sitting on the shelf.

Two units of AB British peninsular infantry (the guards) sitting next to the Austrian staff and generals.,
 Can't bear to face these guys and regret getting so many - Prussian Uhlans and Landwehr cavalry.
The most recent - and the most likely to be completed - Austrian and Russian infantry.

    I have a few unpainted stuff, Ken; but nowhere near as organized as yours :) In fact, most of my backlogged (or forgotten) projects are things I've lost interest in at the moment, but who knows - every now and then I get the bug back. Regards, Dean

    No nothing lying around half painted, no regiments, battalions or batteries sitting around base coated waiting for their turn to be painted.

    Ok maybe just a few!!!

      Had a feeling we all have our little piles of shame - just wondered at the extent.

    I remember the unit of Prussian Landwher cavalry I did was a challenge - all that piping to give them some definition.

    I'm with Jonathan, my backlogs have backlogs.

    There is a Chinese saying about "man who finishes last project is dead" (or something like that). It gives me comfort when I contemplate all the things I am trying to do and all the things I want to do.
