That's pretty good throughput for just three months. I had a decent 2020 but this year's been sad, with just four painted models and one battle report so far. I do have some 1/72 WW1 airplanes that are nearing completion, but I don't think anyone here cares about them.

There's nothing wrong with the old Airfix kits! For me it's the Westland Whirlwind (and the occasional Spitfire, Mosquito, Lancaster etc!) Kalatha. |

June isn't done yet but it's too blessed hot to do anything the next few days so here is an update. April thru June $150.29 spent on White Dwarf magazines, paint, figures, terrain supplies including mold making and plaster of paris. Figures bought - 12 Figures converted - 15 Figures painted - 20 Figures primed - 36 Figures stripped - 0 Been doing a lot yard/house projects, seeing family that I haven't seen since Covid started, not as much hobby time. Work on the East Gate has progressed; have decided on gate design, and have started on the mountain face itself. Total for this year so far (still not sure if this is a good idea) $431.53 spent Figures bought - 56 Figures converted - 44 Figures painted - 50 Figures primed - 58 Figures stripped - 6 IF it cools done some, I can do more work on the mountain face as I work on large terrain pieces outside where I have more room to lay it out and work on it. Also hope to get more figures painted as terrain work drys, etc. |

Time for another update From July to September I did: painted - 40 primed - 9 converted - 16 figures bought (GW and otherwise) 15 money spent - $166.45, however, I sold some games I didn't need anymore to Noble Knight Games and got in cash and credit $416 Year to date: painted - 90 primed - 61 converted - 60 stripped - 6 figures bought 71 money spent - $597.98 cash/credit $416 Expect the money spent to go up if GW gets their act together and does the Necromancer and Defense of the North books and restock figures. |

First my October to December results: Figures painted - 36 Figures primed - 13 Figures converted - 11 Figures bought - 14 Money spent - $264.22 Biggest purchase was the Battle In Balin's Tomb game. What I did in 2021 hobby wise, take all numbers as very close estimates, I might have forgotten some random figures I painted or converted and the money should be close but I might have forgotten some tax added on. Might as well start off with the money - total spent $862.20, offset by selling old games for $416.00. If anyone cares I probably should go back and see where most of my money was spent. I know I spent quite a bit on terrain supplies for my game board I'm putting together. Supported GW by buying some figures from them where I couldn't get them from Ebay but tried to spend most of my money at a local game store buying paint, White Dwarfs and other supplies from them. My wife saved me some money by gifts of game books and molds. Figures painted in 2021 - 126. I'm most proud that I bought and painted in one year the Grim Hammers. Usually I buy figures and they go into the ever growing pile. Primed - 74. Figures bought and primed or priming some of my existing pile. Stripped - 6. Usually old figures or bought off Ebay. Converted - 71. Conversions such as changing arm positions, weapon swapping to changing heads. Figures bought - 73. Grim Hammers and spiders come to mind. Bought some other figures for conversion parts. All in all, I feel that it was a productive year. What isn't easily put into a number is the work I did on my game board this year. Could I have done more, sure. Will I do this again? Probably not. |
