I have to admit defeat here.
As I said earlier in the year I had plans to get these out by March.
However something happened in early February which dragged me into the worst depression I’ve been in for years. So much so, that I’d not touched or been able to face anything for months.
Although I’ve been fighting this state and had some rare good days, most of this year has been swallowed up with struggling against this darkness. It’s only been recently that things have started to get relatively better.
Although I’ve dealt with bouts of depression for most of my adult life, what I’ve used as my normal coping strategies have been overwhelmed in this instance. Even coming on to Coolminiornot was something I could barely be bothered with and that should tell you a lot. Which is probably why I missed “Jazz is for losers” request for an update on the Vostroyans.
I’ve received a request from one of the people involved for me to return their contribution, and to be honest this request has helped relieve some of this depression, my failure on these Vostroyans has, I now realise, been adding weight to my condition.
Their figure is now on the way back and I want to return all the other contributed pieces.
It’s not the resolution I (or we) had originally hoped for, but I realise that personal circumstances and other factors meant that I’d really bitten off more than I could chew. I should have asked for help, but stuubornly and stupidly, I didn’t.
To all the painters who provided their time and effort on this I can only apologise for my failure, you deserved better.
Please contact me via PM, to allow me to return your figure.
