Halfway through September and since I didn't see a post on this thought I would start one. Here's the July post.
TMP link

I'm not sure why I would be enthusiastic about posting this as I've painted nothing in the last three months but here I am. There's a fair number of figures well on their way to being finished but the fifty feet to the painting table seems to be a long way.

Bought = 36 (Brigade Games 28mm AWI)
Painted = 0

Monthly profit = -36
Yearly profit = +81

Stuck at my previous numbers the last few months for various reasons. Trying to enter the LAF LPL to motivate me to finish some of the units on my painting desk and make some headway on what's on the shelves.

Purchased: 605
Painted: 54

July, August and September so far have not been profitable!

Wow forgot about this . Thanks Dan for carrying the torch. Between my Colonoscopy and having to go out of town I was busy at the beginning of the month. Anyway August was a good month.

Bought – 0

Painted;

58 15mm ACW Confederates
10 28mm Luftwaffe Field Division
27 28mm Warlord Era Chinese
27 20mm WW2 Us Paratroopers

Total this month – +122

YTD – +153

That helped. This month will be slow due to the above stated activities, and next month will be vacation most of the month. I may not get much painted but I won't be buying either.

I painted three Vikings and four Scots--pretty pathetic, I know. I did manage to sell off 20 figures, and didn't add any new figures. I did order some figures, but they will arrive in September, not August.

Again household projects detract from painting time.

Thanks Dan. I was about to post asking if I had missed the update.

I actually thought we had missed 2 months worth but now realize it was only one. Maybe it's because I doubt I'll get anything painted before I leave on vacation next week.

I haven't posted since May! June and July were taken up mostly by painting a commission, so no progress on my own lead pile. :( I hit the ground running in late July and throughout August getting ready for a convention game this Saturday though so I knocked a ton off the pile.

So far up to last night I have painted:
All 28mm figures

12 Fallschirmjager
38 US Airborne (in for a platoon, in for a company!)
10 Nazi Zombies
10 pulpish characters
21 German Casualties (the only good Nazi!)
10 random goblins when I needed a break after the Airborne.

101 figures over the course of almost 2 months!

In May I was up to 171 figures for the year, plus the 101 here makes for 272 28mm figures. My goal for the year is still 300, which I should blow through that easily. I was worried for a little bit since I took on this commission for some extra hobby spending money and it was really slowing down my own progress.

Good month painting, but ebay had too many good deals and I made my yearly order to Old Glory.

painted= 547
bought= 786
monthly progress= -239

but still positive for the year= 139
got to stop buying but have a couple commissions(need to pay for the figures) so painting will slow down.
