Taking stock of what I have....

Also known as "inventorying my stuff"...

It's gotten to the point that I am starting to lose count and focus of what I have and what I need to work on...sigh...this past T-giving weekend, I ran a couple of introductory games...and had problems finding the right pieces of terrain...

So I've decided to actually get an inventory of some sorts down on paper.
Thanks to Excel, I now had a 5 sheet excel workbook going on my 15mm Moderns.
I'm starting with my 15mm Moderns and currently am just working on the "painted and ready to play stuff"...

Sheet 1: is figures, # of bases and # of figs : 204 stands, 472 figs...

Sheet 2: is vehicles, (ground and military): 131 including 40+ civilian vehicles...

Sheet 3: is aircraft and watercraft; 15 aircraft, 3 boats...

Sheet 4: is buildings: TBD

Sheet 5: is scenery: The misc little pieces that I have, (fences, signs, billboards, etc...): TBD

The eventual goal is to get all of the stuff on the inventory. For buildings I will number them on the base and have a photo of each.

After this, will come a list of the "UNPAINTED" 15mm Moderns. This will give me an idea of my "mountain of lead", and what needs to be done...

Years from now after I regain my sanity, I will continue this project with my 15mm ACW, and my 20mm Vietnam, and my 25-28mm, Pulp, Cowboys, Pirates, Horror, Fantasy, and Colonials...

It will make me cry, but it will give me an idea of what I have....
And then I will cry even more...
