Well its mid afternoon here and I won't be finishing anymore figures before the end of today so here is the latest update

Last months update
TMP link

Bought
6mm – 182 (French/Brits to finish off some units)
10mm – 27 (More WWII odds and sods – I am weak)
28mm – 6 (Napoleonic officers)

Painted (the really good bit!!!)

6mm – 311 (All the above 6mm and some more cavalry)
10mm – 42 (infantry)
28mm – 6 (YES finally finished my 1st 6 plastic French Napoleonic figures!!!)

Monthly Profit +144 (WOW !!!)
Yearly Profit +1101 (Double WOW)
Ready Locker – 508
Monthly Target – 254 (Climbing again)

So a great month for me, I seemed to get the painting bug and had the energy to do something about it.

November is not looking good!! – Our Show FIASCO is tomorrow and I've allready got a pre order with pendraken for a large amount of early war stuff……DOH

Plans for November
1) Paint the rest of my 6mm stuff (184 figs)
2) Finish some more 28mm Rifles (16 to do)
3) Behave myself tomorrow and not get tempted by any offers…… :-)

Have fun and Happy Halloween
:-) MH

Wow! Great stuff!

I finished a paltry

11 Irish dark age warriors
10 wood elves
4 pony riders
4 gothic cavalry all in
20mm.

In 15mm I finshed
48 Lizardmen

Not keeping stats but I've decided not to buy anything for the rest of the year and possibly waiting until next Cod Wars! I've got plenty to read and plenty to paint.

I think I've stopped again – not good with 100+ figures newly undercoated.

Stosstruppen31 Oct 2009 1:31 p.m. PST

This year is a disaster for me, Have bought at least 5 times what I have painted. I am organizing for a big push next year.

October:

Bought
1 box of perry plastic brits

Painted,
156 6mm AWI

32 28mm Napoleonic french(about 1 box of perry plastic)

Cosmic Reset31 Oct 2009 2:14 p.m. PST

No ispiration and even less free time. Got about an hour to work on the first of the month and finished some terrain pieces that had been setting around for awhile.

Painted and flocked:
11x sections of 15mm dirt roads.

Bought:
2x 1/100 Il-28 kits


On the month: +11 -2.

On the year:
636 painted
228 Purchased
+408 for the year.

Slightly behind on my ten month target of +420 (@+42/month). Looks like the +500 for the year is probably out of reach. Just hoping that I can get downstairs to paint or build anything this month.

Dashetal31 Oct 2009 2:28 p.m. PST

Been non motivated until last weekend. Finished 36 28mm Spanish Carbineros this week. Working 0n 76 Italian Blackshirts. Started the 2 Basque tankettes. Hope to have the started stuff done by next weekend

October

Purchased
50 28mm WWI
25 15mm WWII
5 15mm vehicles

Painted
28 28mm WWI
82 15m WWII infantry
15 15mm vehicles

+5 vehicles, +13 figures for the month, -6 for the year

November is Fall In so I might be in trouble this month but I think I might be good in December.

Barks131 Oct 2009 6:49 p.m. PST

The situation: -170 for the year.

The success: went all out and painted 170 in October! (thank goodness for 20mm)

The tragedy: went to a con and picked up an extra 102 minis.

So now I'm at -102 with 2 months to go. If I can approach this month's efforts I've a chance.

Good painting total for october.
95 28mm pieces which is right on target:
(I am not telling how many new figures I've just bought!)

highlandcatfrog01 Nov 2009 3:01 p.m. PST

Pre-October YTD: +3153, with 743 bought.

Did better than I thought I would, due to some selling (Huzzah again for the TMP Marketplace!), though my plan to not purchase any didn't work out.

Painted:
1/285 WW II planes: 46
1/432 WW II planes: 8
1/600 WW II planes: 4
1/2400 WW II naval: 1
15 mm tent: 1
15 mm AWI: 135
25 mm D&D: 1

Sold: 200

Total: +396

Bought: 33

Change: +363

YTD now: +3516, with 776 bought.

Well ahead of my 4:1 goal, and I'm hoping to keep it that way. We'll see how November goes though – I'm getting real burned out on painting 15 mm stuff, but I plan on doing a bunch of planes and hopefully some ships and micro armor too.

"This year is a disaster for me"

In spades.

100 bought, mostly 15mm WWII (FoW, Peter Pig) with a smattering of Warmachine/Hordes.

0 painted this month, though a lot of prep has gone into those 15mm WWII figs purchased. Most are primed and ready for paint.

By John 5402 Nov 2009 10:00 a.m. PST

I'm over 3/4 of the way through a Roman Army in 54mm. Not going to get diverted onto anything else, until it is finished.

NEVER done that before! start it, do it, finish it!

streetline03 Nov 2009 2:39 a.m. PST

Painted in October – 6 15mm Tuaregs, 8 LOTR army of the dead, 1 Epic Ravenwing squad, 4 ME tiles, 1 15mm elemental, 5 28mm Martian Askari, 1 plastic mercenary, 6 15mm aztecs, 5 LOTR orcs, 1 Black Scorpion character, 6 10mm aliens, 1 plastic colonial brit, 1 Quadiran fighter for Pathfinder, 11 Uruk Hai and 1 chaos marine. I bought one Reaper angel and 20 Wargames Factory colonials at the Orcs Nest….


For the year I'm 180 painted figures better off, mostly because of those 20 plastic Brits wiping out a month's painting…. now winter is here I'll get more time.

Jana Wang06 Nov 2009 8:37 a.m. PST

Was a very slow month for me. Purchased 2 figures, one of which I spent most of the month on for a contest. Also completed 2 reaper elves and a fenryll pumpkin for the holiday.
