The 2015 project is still going on!? I sent my completed piece back over two years ago... My 2017 pieces will be going back in a week or two.
As for a new project, try something that is NOT 1400 - 1865 and not Greek, Roman, or Middle Ages. Try pieces in the sci-fi, fantasy, or steampunk range - especially if you want to attract new people who are NOT middle-aged plus and gray haired. Seriously....
I am currently working on a 54mm Dark Elf Ranger flat.
You all have a very nice day...
