U have been pushing on TMP (but I do not think it is a massive 1/72 site/fanbase) and on Benno's - but I have to be careful:
1) Don't want to bump my own threads too often
2) Benno's can be sensitive - I have had my wrist gently slapped there already
As to ordering - there is no way I can afford to buy 50 boxes - some people must be a lot richer than me. But I ordered early so remain positive for this project.
What I think would help is seeing where the bonus figure idea is going - I was really excited by the thought it could be mounted command/generals etc, but if it is just more foot sloggers then I must admit, nice as that will be, it doesn't really add any excitement to the deal. Foot figures are available already from Hagen/Art Miniaturen, but there is a dearth of command figures like generals and aides.
Bonus figure discussion on those threads might be a good way to get people talking again on those threads when I get a bit more time I might pop on them and mention bonus figure potentials.
It would be nice to see the bonus figures to encourage pledges. I can't buy any more boxes but I sure am glad we're up to 8 now. We've been looking at all these great Napoleonic masters for years and it would be good to finally own and paint them.
Not too concerned at the moment. HaT said 60 days for this, I think there's still about 20 days or so left and it's just ticked over to 80%.
If it looks like the project needs another kick along later my budget might just stretch a little further.
Regarding bonus figures my first choice would be more officers on foot. These sets need more officers. I did suggest some personality figures but would we need more than one?
I have had one other thought for a bonus figure though. how about camp followers.
