Series one is the one to go for & probably the hardest to complete but they look fantastic all set up.

I've come to realise that my moc completion will unlikely ever happen. So I'm not even really thinking about that.

So bizarrely, my aim, is to scale back on things. I've got boxes upon boxes in the loft, my toy room is a disgrace, as it's once more become more of a factory than a hobby room, and I can't bring myself to tidy it whilst ever I'm still producing stuff.

So my longer term aims are to first of all finish everything I've committed to doing for people (some fun stuff in there though guys) and at the same time eBay off my spares or 'fringe items' from my collection (the stuff I'm not that bothered about). Then, come the summer, have ended 'production' of, well, everything, and give the toy room a deep clean, full rearrange, and full cabinet rejig. So hopefully by the autumn I can finally post some updated photos of the Dawson Command Centre in a remotely tidy state!

And once that's all done, I hope to finally finish off my Arctic Shadows (been a WIP for over 4 years now!) ready to do some photos when we get some wintery weather in winter 2013!

So in short - finish everything, and try to start enjoying my hobby again! :-)

Just thought I'd put a post on here before the years up, I end this year with 63 items purchsed on "My eBay" that I'm still waiting for and about 4 deals on various forums. So the new year starts with me being well and truly broke :-(

First off a highlight for me was Roll Call and not only finally meeting friends I've known for a long time but also meeting new ones and Larry Hama.

I've added quite a few items to my collection which I never thought I'd find. I've started the task of trying to complete a set of BAF and ventured into BAF artwork with some choice finds.

An old Palitoy source that I thought had dried up came good with some old toy shop stock including the original Palitoy shipping container.

My collection is as organised as its ever been and with a little bit more work 2013 will be the year I start posting some pictures.

Finally, as with everyone I've spent far too much money but it was worth it!

To everyone, all the best for 2013!

When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?
