I wonder what proportion of wargaming models & figures are completed as a rush job so that they can be used in a game?
I have (not at all fond) memories of sitting in a friend's dining room until the early hours building and painting a load of Esci T-62s for use in a game the next day.

Esci T-62s? Didn't they have individual track links? I feel your pain.
I think that some of my best work has been churned out for imminent games - and I can't see that changing anytime soon!
Tim:
From memory (it was about 20 years ago), they had a single section for the bottom, one for the top, then individual links to go around the front and rear.
As I recall, at least some models had side skirts, and we didn't bother with the part of the track that would be hidden by them.
Just in passing - Forbodia got a mention on "The Navy Lark" (radio 4 extra) in an episode broadcast today, though I don't remember the original date. Something to do with HMS Troutbridge stopping the navies of Forbodia and Eigerland from starting a war.

See? Some people think I made it all up but there it is on the BBC!
