Pretty good month, especially considering no real time off.

Bad month, got a good deal on ebay and painted some figures for other people.

So bought:469 28mmm Napoleonics

painted: 190 28mm Napoleonics

So added 279 figures this month. But I am still 66 figures to the good. Hopefully no deals this month and I can get the figure count going in the right direction again.

Here is the link to last month. I'll post my totals later…

TMP link

Painted
PSC 20mm sdkfz 233/263 2
PSC 20mm Blitz 3
EWM Jeep and 2 crew 3
Frostgrave GA Treasure Tokens 2
28mm Normans + medievals 19
TOTAL 29

Bought
Frostgrave GA tribals 26

Total for month +3
Total for year -68

March will be better, honest (No more Nickstarters), but April brings Salute :-(

A good month all around. I did have to wait for a base delivery to finish some troops and having those extras on the sidelines for leftover paint helps. I'm avoiding stores and cons but did join the Brigade games AWI kickstarter so come July will have more figures. I'll need to get ahead of that.

Bought = 0
Painted = 45 (All 28mm. Warfare GNW Swedes Cavalry, GNW Russian Cavalry, GNW Russian Infantry and 7 Perry AWI.)

Monthly profit = +45
Yearly profit = +47

February 2019 total:

Bought 6 (WFB/AoS)
SOLD 114 (several abandoned interests)
Painted 0 (to completion, anyway)

Year-to-date totals:
Growth -91 (net)
Painted 27

Still in the black

I painted one figure!! Whoopee!

Went to Genghis Con. Warlord Games was there, and they brought a bunch of Footsore miniatures. I bought 10 of them, and would like to buy more. At least I have samples now to mix with my other Vikings. In addition, I bought two fantasy figures and was given two more, that's a total acquired of 14 against one painted.

So, not a good month (from a painting perspective--I'm rather excited about the new Vikings), but with last month's totals, especially selling off 16 figures, I'm still ahead for the year.

For February, not so much progress:

Completed:
36 x 1/285 Uwanda Inf stands
1x 1/285 African building

Received:
2x 1/100 Etendard kits
3x 28mm Sci-fi tank crewman
51x 15mm Cold War French infantry

-19 on the month

For the year:
99 painted
62 received
+37

March will probably cause me to lose more ground.

For February
Bought out collection of about 90 predreadnought and rebased 2 of them (so far). Will be rebasing these ships for next 6 months

painted 7 Babylon 5 Centauri ships and have 5 ships and 20 fighters to go in that fleet/size.

Painted 2 Japanese WW2 float planes and have about 40 Japanese aircraft to go. Still have Polish, British and French air force unpainted. Also have additional aircraft to be painted for my US (had to buy those B35 Flying Wings), Russian, German, Italian air force's.

On Sunday will go to Games plus auction and am selling 24 Battletech mechs and a drop ship and hope I don't find something INTERESTING to bid on. I do have about 550 painted and 270 unpainted Battlemechs to sell (10 year plan).

I estimate if I do not buy anything more I can finish painting what I have by the turn of the century.

Painted 87 28mm Back of Beyond Chinese in the two weeks since starting the project, Need to do 700 by July 15th for Historicon game.

Another positive month

Painted

50 – 20mm WW2 Marines
1 – 15mm Mexican Church

While I am still maintaining my no purchases pledge I did get a few bucks for my birthday and bought some stuff from the Bad Squiddo bargain bin.

Bought

14 – 28mm figs
3 small terrain pieces

Total this month +34

YTD +82

Good month:

13 28mm Fallschirmjäger
16 Terminators for Terminator Genisys
11 damaged 'crawler' Terminators
13 Battletech mechs
6 6mm APCs

we'll call it 53 figures.
