Withdrawal symptoms.
That's what I'm having. My next project was intended to be a 1/16 scale WW1 French Soldier from Jon Smith Modellbau.
Jon shipped it promptly. Deutsche Post delivered it to the US Postal Service promptly.... whereupon it disappeared into the dark hole that has become the US Postal System. For those of you who are familiar with the recent performance of the USPS this will come as no surprise. I'm sure it will turn up one day but when? Who can say?
What else can I find while I'm waiting for my poilu's late arrival? My bench is beginning to get nervous so I decide to look around. (We all know how bitchy a nervous bench can be.)
Aha says I! The Puppeteer from Medieval Forge is just the ticket to calm down my bench. Cool and different. Not so fast, grasshopper! It's on pre-order. Sabot Miniatures, the US distributor, indicates it will be another week or two before the shipment arrives from Russia. But I really like the bust so I order it anyway. But now not only my bench but I'm getting the jitters with nothing to paint.
No French soldier. No Puppeteer. Time on my hands. Nothing to paint.
So... what to do? What to do?
A 1/12 scale WW1 Prussian Officer bust from Sabot Miniatures is the next figure to catch my eye. Really cool. Loads of character. And, eureka! It's in stock! Be still my beating heart.
Meet my next project (unless one of the other two arrives first).

. I am very interested to see your version of the Prussian. Good luck with it.
