Hi all

Well its that time of the month again (Painted Men Statistics)…..

Last months update
TMP link

Well June sees me 1/2 way through the year, and its been a strange year so far, health wise, work wise etc.

My new job is getting busier so feeling more symptoms so painting has taken a back seat (my motivation/energy dips quickly lately).

Anyway heres the figures

Bought
6mm – 24 (Free from Tod on here but still counts towards the pledge – Napoleonic British)

Painted
6mm – 112 (4 x French Battalions)
10mm – 10 (WWII armour)
28mm – 4 (Alban french inf)

Monthly profit – +102
Yearly profit – +631
Ready locker – 983 (YAHOO below 1000)
Monthly target to do – 164 (oops an increase of 9)

So I lost my push to get my 28mm done this month, just couldn't face finishing the other 14 figs…I did avoid buying lots of figures though so that was good…

July plan
1) Paint 2 bns of Brits 6mm
2) Paint 4 squadrons of French cav (36 figs NB I have painting cav)
3) Paint 21 10mm vehicles.
4) Paint enough other figs to meet the monthly target.

After selling off my 15mm Sudan collection, I must resist spending the money on more shiny metal (Damn you Baccus for your new releases…..!!!)

I will try and get some photos done of each months progress….(I know I keep promising but time constraints etc keep getting in the way)

I'm zero finished for the month. I'm working crazy hours. Well over 300 for the month on top of personal projects.

My total for the year is 256. I've got 30 samurai nearly finished. My monthly average is nearly 43. Far lower than my goal of 50 per month. I can still catch up, though. Hopefully with the long weekend, I can get some stuff done.

Fat Wally30 Jun 2009 10:27 a.m. PST

I'm really pleased with myself.

230 15mm (Prussian) Napoleonics completed this month. 28 to go before my current project is finished.

740 15mm for the year (started March 1st) so far.

The Nigerian Lead Minister30 Jun 2009 10:58 a.m. PST

Not bad on my end. Started off the month ahead by 156 figures.

Painted: 224 15mm Zulus

New stuff: 0. Nada, zip, nothing. I must be ill! (Not really, just ordered more toys over the weekend but they're not here yet.)

Anyhow, I convert the Zulus to 28mm figure equivalents and I find myself at +212 for the year.

The other part of my pledge is to complete a project or army every month. No dice there, I'm close on the Zulus and 15mm Carthaginians as well as some other projects, but couldn't finish any of them. I have finished up 7 projects/armies so far this year, so I guess I'm ahead for the year even if this month fell flat.

Jana Wang30 Jun 2009 2:17 p.m. PST

I'm trying to remember what I did this month…

Finished 2 (possibly 3) Reaper fantasy figures, and 1 Ral Partha Shadowrun figure. I cleaned and primed at least a dozen new figures, though. And there's another dozen or so 'in progress'.

Bought nothing. Making a list for GenCon shopping.

TodCreasey30 Jun 2009 6:29 p.m. PST

Painted
554 6mm
59 15mm
5 15mm vehicles

Purchased
6 15mm vehicles
30 15mm figures

+60 for the month, -215 for the year so I am back on track with minimal shopping planned for the next while. There are another 50 odd figures being varnished now so they will cover June for me.

Fall In looks like it is on so that should be another hit as I am getting the Napoleonic plastics itch but I am confident I can break even this year.

Barks130 Jun 2009 6:57 p.m. PST

Argh, painted 0, bought 49. And now I'm at -146 for the year.

Cosmic Reset30 Jun 2009 7:42 p.m. PST

Lotsa extra work and extra pay in the second quarter resulted in lotsa purchases in June. Got a good number of figs assembled/based/primed, but not much painted.

Painted: 11x 15mm QRF vehicles

3x UK light trucks
2x Landrovers
2x Saracen
1x Saladin
1x Ferret
1x BTR40
1x 85mm Gun

Purchased: 140
64x 15mm Peter Pig African Militia
4x Peter Pig 15mm vehicles
1x 1/100 Mi4 kit
62x 15mm Rebel Minis modern figs
9x 15mm QRF vehicles/aircraft

Total for June -129
On the year:
150 painted
222 Purchased
-72 overall, -324 for my +42 per month target.

Still have all but 11 of last month's QRF vehicles on my painting table, plus the 140 or so Vietnam figs, French micro armor, 6mm houses, 40+ micro scale planes, and now all of the new stuff added to the heap. Hope I get something painted before the table collapses.

Hi Everyone, I don't have the exact figures (pun!) in front of me but IIRC:

Bought: 0 (amazing, I know!)
Painted: in 15mm:
12 T-80
5 BTR-60
3 BMP-2
6 WW2 trucks
4 T-72
in 25mm;
2 sci fi trucks
total 32

Although June was better than average, I'm still roughly -175 for the year. Gotta get serious about painting with Historicon coming up! I've had my credit cards coated with titanium to handle the stress & friction.

GypsyComet30 Jun 2009 10:01 p.m. PST

Bought 42
Primed 36
Painting progress 19
Finished 2

The lucky two include an em4 lady robot that arrived last week and came out of the package shouting "I'm BLUE!". So that's what I painted her.
The other is a Rezolution Ronin Shootist.

More would probably have gotten done, as about half of the progress minis are really close, but the late June heat has made good painting evenings hard to come by.

streetline01 Jul 2009 1:41 a.m. PST

Not a great month – painted 16 15mm zombies, 2 WFB Ogres, some 15mm scenery, 4 Epic space marine squads, a Necromancer, a Sorcerer, 2 VSF characters (Grim Ben and the Shadow), 1 Khorne Juggernaut & hero, 1 Chaos knight, and 1 ruined house for Mordheim.

I don't seem very focused.

Sadly I bought 11 space ships, 3 Undead constructs, 6 zombie horses, 12 zombies, 1 Jabberwocky, a Female elf ranger, 10 clix and a pumpkin house


I don't seem very focused.


For the year I'm still winning but only by about 90 figures. And it's the Bovvy show this weekend.
