"The PLEDGE FEBRUARY 2017 " Topic

Hi all

Last months update

TMP link

Due to work and other commitments I did not get as much done as I wanted to but still in profit

Bought
28mm – 20 (Arabs to finish my units off)(resisted Vigilants influence)

Painted
28mm – 29 (5 WWII tanks, 4 Border Reivers and 20 SCW Moroccans)

Monthly Profit – +9
Yearly Profit – +82 (2 short of my 42 a month target)

PLAN
1) Behave myself on Saturday at the 2nd show of the year
2) Paint my Arab infantry unit (24 figs)
3) ? Start some 6mm Egyptians.
4) ? Continue WWII stuff

:-)

Bought none. Painted 15 (including two 20mm tanks and a 20m chateau). A modest success I think. The Frostgrave freebies arriving soon do not count as "bought" of course.

Bought = 0
Painted 16 x 15mm Napoleonic cavalry

Painting got shot down by work in February.

Bought:0

Painted: 2, 1x 15mm T34, 1x 15mm M2

One the year: +0

Didn't paint as many figures as I would have liked but enough to get me in the black YTD. I did however build two buildings from 4Ground abd paint two plasticville buildings. Not buying any figures helped also.

Bought – 0
Painted – 12 (WWII Germans 28mm)

Monthly profit – +12
Yearly profit – +5

Who stole February? Situation remains the same:
Bought: 0
Painted: 0

I might as well get in on this self-flagellation!

Most of my painting time was spent on a friend's army

Painting my own: 24 28mm WWII figs, 5 28mm vehicles and 2 pieces of terrain

Painting my friends: 38 figures and 3 vehicles

A good chunk of that was already at least half done so it's not quite as impressive as it sounds.

Bought: 38 28mm figures and 7 vehicles.

I have no clue how big the 'lead' pile is, since most of it got packed into storage, it's about 1k figures mostly plastic. At least 300 of them are plastic WWII Soviets waiting for me to start that project in 2018.

Totals so far this year (of my own figures)
Bought: 38 figs and 7 vehicles
Painted: 24 figs and 5 vehicles
Totals -14 figs and -2 vehicles.

I'd love to say I'll be in the positive in March but two orders are on the way!
I almost forgot, I spent most of today making two 2 6x4 foot battle mats(table mats? Ground mats? Painted fabric to fight fake battles on). Blog post coming about that soon…

I have been good so far this year.

Zero Purchased
60 1/2 finished
24 finished

February 2017 total:

Bought 39 (mostly Frostgrave and Infinity)
SOLD 724 (a PILE of Demonworld Orcs and a few GW ex-projects)
Painted 2 (a Relic Knights Pit Crew and one of Zombiesmith's Kami Tales)

Year-to-date totals:
Growth -671
Painted 2

I would rather be painting, but I'll take the lead mountain shrinkage where I can get it.

Bought none
Finished painting none

Bought zero.

Put paint on 1,727 figures! Just the base flesh tone but every single one of my FIW figures at least has flesh tone now as do all of the prepped AWI figures so far.

March is for a wash on the flesh, base color on 350 horses and 7 oxen and, hopefully, completing two FIW units, native warriors and making substantial progress on two more if not finishing them.

And, yes, all of the humans in my AWI cavalry are included in the 1,727 – getting those 800 figures (531 men, 269 horses) done is the minimum 2017 goal. So, March is also for as much progress as possible on the AWI cavalry – as above plus hair colors and hats and probably more on at least two to four of the 20 units, more if possible.

Wow! Early Morning Writer, you're a tough act to follow! Next time, I'm going to post right after somebody like Syrinx0 or Tiberius to make my totals look better.

OK, all I bought was a hill that needed some flock. It got flocked and sealed.
In addition, I painted 14 figures. Eleven were Dark Fable Egyptians that were almost finished last month, and three were RAFM's MacBeth witches.

Bought: 0
Completed: 9 (Ral Partha elves and cavalry)

For the year: +40

Terrain completed:
1 large ruined building piece (Hirst Arts and base)
2 ruin scatter pieces (Hirst Arts)

Most of February was spent on a HUGE project… painting my home! 6 rooms + part of the outside – we're prepping for selling. So. much. painting.

However, I did get some time at the table – mainly on terrain for GaryCon and Little Wars. The ruins are done, now working City Tower/Gates and walls.

@Earlymorningwriter – holy hells! 1,727 figures? I'd love to see that job on the bench. Pics, please? :)

Painted 4 15mm modern USA tanks.

Bought 5 15mm modern Brit tanks (Chieftain!)

Off to a slow start for the year.

On a roll this year. Still nothing bought, and making some progress on the lead pile.

Start: +232

Bought: 0. Zero. I must be sick.

Painted:
20 15mm American tanks
48 15mm Finnish infantry plus 4 guns
42 assorted War of Ashes figures from Zombiesmith

Sold: 84 Bretonnians on TMP

Net: +394 for the year!

My painter is almost done with my last order. I painted nothing. Bought zero.

I finally got my painting mojo back this week. Finished up a few Dark Age Saxons and started wrapping up the dreaded FIW Highlanders that have been sitting around half done. Will be tackling my half finished samurai next. Well I fell behind a little this month. Sales on stuff I wanted to get did me in. Here are the totals;

Not a big month but still reduced the pile.

Bought none
Painted
2- 15mm supply wagons

24- 15mm Zulu warriors

28- 10mm ACW Iron Brigade

That puts me at +64 figures YTD

One of my best months ever :)

Of course, that really means a lot of stuff got finished and March and April will be slow …
