Hi all

Last months update here

TMP link

Well July has been a tad warm here in the UK!!!! ;-) which we are not used to at all but at least it helped me paint.
I attended the Joy of Six show (highly recommended) and only had a small spend but got lots of ideas for a game next year (need lots more mahdists!!!!)

Bought
28mm – 11 (more arabs)
1/1200 – 1 (napoleonic ship (it was a bargain on the Bring and buy)

Painted
6mm -96 (mahdist infantry)
28mm – 32 (WWII Polish and some arab cavalry)

Monthly total = +116 (WOW!!!)
Yearly total = +256

Plan for August

1 – Continue WWII Polish
2 – More Arab Cavalry
3 – Start Mahdist cavalry

:-)

Pretty much the same as the last few months, nothing bought nothing painted. Not even much gaming this month. I did buy some figures that were painted just because it wouldn't affect the Pledge. I've an order on the way that will kill my productivity so I had better shake off this slump.

This month
Bought – 0
Painted – 0

YTD
Bought – 68
Painted – 97
Net – +29

Well, July for me was a down month – with lots of weekend traveling, activities and plenty of distractions. Very little done but the brush did touch metal.

I started May with 254 figures in the pile.

I painted 5 figures – all 25mm.

3 – 25mm Elven Archers (Ral Partha)
2 – 25mm AD&D Thieves Set (Grenadier)

I ended the month with 249 figures in the pile. For the year, I have a net of +166 figures.

And "no purchases"! SIX months in a row and counting! I think I might be setting a TMP record here.

Got something done in July yaaaay!
Painted 100 10mm confederate infantry.
bought none
In the hole for 35 figures YTD.

Should be back on the plus side for August.

Finally had a chance today to count up all of the figs that arrived last month.

Received in July: 187
18x 1/300 and 1/285 Jets from I-94 and Scotia
88x 15mm African Regulars
81x assorted 28mm German Colonials and accessories

Painted nothing.

-187 on the month


On the year:

Painted 182
Received 227
Overall -45

And just like that, I'm way behind the curve. Hopefully I can make up some ground this month.
