Hi all


Last months update
TMP link

Sorry its a day late – didn't finish anything so no change to the numbers

June saw me paint more than I bought (always a good sign) but work commitments meant did not get as much done as I would have hoped.

Bought (Warlords fault)

28mm – 28 (WWII POLISH bits and pieces)

Painted
6mm – 24 (mahdists)
28mm – 26 (Arab cavalry and some WWII French)


Plan (July)
1) Paint mahdists
2) Paint some more arab cavalry
3) Start Polish Infantry

I find I haven't updated the Pledge since March. At the time I had a finished up a massive painting spree, and then bought a ton of stuff but I was still ahead by 116 figures.

So in the last three months I bought more stuff and barely lifted a brush.

Start: +116

Painted: 6 Heresy Dark Brethren figures

Bought:
Stuff from Warlord to finish up a project 67 figs
Blood & Plunder KS +55 figs

At the end: 0, even, back where I started with the unpainted pile the same height as at the start of the year. Interesting. Fortunately I'm about to start painting again!

Finished:
6x 15mm Centurion III

Bought;
7x assorted Federation starships
3x Klingon D7

-4 on the month


On the year:

Painted 182
Received 40
Overall +142

Slowly losing ground.

24 – 28mm Teutonic Foot
28 – 28mm Finnish (Warlord gave me a discount)

Painted
186 – 15mm SYW Russians
48 – 15mm NK Egyptians

This Month
Bought – 355
Painted – 234
Total this month – -121

June was going to be a great month, but …..

Bought 8 figures, finished none

July probably not going to be too impressive either …

June was a month of getting figures done, despite a really nasty summer cold, summer weekends and getting things done on the honey-do list.

I started May with 276 figures in the pile.

I painted 22 figures – all 25mm.

1- Catapult (Ral Partha)
12 – 25mm Elven Pikemen (Ral Partha)
3 – 25mm Elven Archers (Ral Partha)
6 – 25mm AD&D Thieves Set (Grenadier)

And "no purchases"! FIVE months in a row and counting!

I ended the month with 254 figures in the pile. For the year, I have a net of +161 figures.

My experiments in doing the Dallimore/Foundry method are having results, the faces and paint jobs on the figures look great!

June 2016 total:

Bought 5 (All Warmachine/Hordes)
Painted 0 (though some progress was made on several)

Year-to-date totals:
Growth -45
Painted +6

Also painted a 10 figure commission, but like last month, that doesn't count.

I didn't have any time to paint this month and unfortunately I did add to the pile as I picked up an Irish warband for Saga. Still a better ration of painted to purchased than normal.

YTD: Bought 152; Painted: 161

DOUGKL10 Jul 2016 7:50 a.m. PST

Nothing bought or painted. So I am still 135 more bought than painted.

Painted 4 inter-war civilians, bought none. Not exactly stellar.
