Is that simply a "sunk" effort and not counted?<br /><br />The 50PPs I assigned to the plane was to account for total effort in both building and painting. Building a model in preparation for painting does take away time that could be spent painting. That building effort ought to be tracked somewhere, I think.<br /><br />As for assemblying Victrix French infantry, I have not tackled that task and do not care to tackle it!Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-46094186215303811592017-11-03T05:26:54.650-07:002017-11-03T05:26:54.650-07:00Now you're into model making!

The problem for me is that one 1/72nd scale aircraft model does not equate to the same effort (15PP) as 3 x 28mm infantry (again 15PP). Maybe you can put together an aircraft model in the same time it takes to paint 3 x 28mm infantry but I cannot!
