"The PLEDGE March 2019 - The First Quarter is Complete" Topic

I am posting this since it looks like our usual poster, Monkey Hanger, has not been around since early February. Hopefully he is ok. Here is the link to last month TMP link

My totals for the month;

Painted

3 – 28mm Mounted Goths
20 – 28mm Saxons
25 – 20mm WW2 Marines
5 – 28mm Pulp Dangerous Dames
10 – 28mm Zulu War Brits
17 – 15mm MAW Mexicans

Bought

5 – 28mm Warlord Samurai types
3 – 1/72 LCI

Total this month – +72
Amount forward – +82
YTD – +154

Things are looking good!

Painted 29
– Telegraph poles 18
– Normans + medievals 8
– Frostgrave Treasure Tokens 3
Bought
– MDF walls 10

-49 YTD. Positive this month but not much impact on the mountain to be honest – no trip to Salute for me then!

Another decent month of painting. No figures bought. I need to make some terrain in April/May so the figure count could suffer but I do have a few groups that are half way to being finished.

Bought = 0
Painted = 26 (28mm. 8 Perry AWI Continentals and 18 Jagers.)

Monthly profit = +26
Yearly profit = +73

Hope MH is just busy as well.

I started painting again but I also started buying again. Really expanded my Sudan collection this month with more arriving next month. Inspiration can be dangerous.

Purchased: 202
Painted: 24

Thought I did a bunch of painting, but I didn't finish anything so I technically get no figures for the month. Still at +32 for the year tho as I didn't buy anything.

Not a great month for painting, and Cold Wars upped the mountain a little.

Bought: 108 (but some was cheap in the flea market!!!!)

Painted: 6
2 1/56 French WW2 tanks
3 25mm animals
1 1/56 B4 Russian 203mm gun (3d printed from ebay (US$14.00!!))

So I'm -81 for the year.

March 2019 total:

Bought 125 (about half WFB/AoS, 1/4 Infinity, and 1/4 Firestorm Armada)
SOLD 3 (various)
Painted 17 (others in progress)

Still ahead of the curve and no big purchases in the offing.

I had a fairly productive month, unfortunately all of it was either a commission for a friend or for the club…

I painted 9 OGRE 6mm miniatures for myself though! We'll count that as 2 28mm guys, since that's how I set my goal for the year.

Last month I was up to 137 of my 350 figure goal, so I guess I'm up to 139! April is looking good already though, I have 18 German Heer on the table that Will be done this week.

Lets not talk about my purchase though…

139/350 for the year!

March was a busy month outside of painting, AND CincyCon saw me getting a bunch of figures from Jacob @ RalPartha/Iron Wind Metals, dangit. :D

So I went the other way…

Painted: 9 – Undead characters, Grenadier fighters

Bought/Given: 20 – dwarf barbarians, halflings, Tom Meir giant, Chaos Knights/Warriors

Year: +40

Goals for April:
- Catch up and get back to low numbers. 0 still beckons!
- Wonder if Ral Partha Kickstarter items will show up

We had two days when we were told to stay home rather than come to work because of snow! So, I got 10 figures painted in March.

However, uncertain as to how the whole Brexit thing would play out, I bought 14 human figures, five horses, and 8 dogs from a British company. So another month where I'm falling behind.

Sigh.

Looking ahead, I still have two outstanding orders, one of which will probably never come (it was placed in August 2017), and a second, larger order placed in November 2018, for which Is till hold out hope.
