Net +16
Last Month -9
YTD +7

Bought nothing. Actually, I did order something, but it won't come until some time in March, so it doesn't count.

I painted 24 New Kingdom Egyptians, so it has been an absolutely, delightfully positive month for me.
For the year, I've painted 48 figures, and purchased 22, so I'm ahead by 26 figures!

I also managed to make some dungeon tiles and bought a piece of pre-painted scenery.

February 2021, still in lockdown, so has been a productive month from the wargames point of view if nothing else.

I'm still solidly on 1/72nd Napoleonics. After last month's positive total I weakened and bought figures to fill out units that needed extra figures. Always needed brigadiers etc.

I've nearly finished tidying & basing 80 Russian infantry that I found in a box and had forgotten, so they should appear next month. Next in March I'm planning to move on to basing Portuguese and Spanish. Newline deliveries are a few weeks behind according to their website, so if the Brits and Scots arrive they are up next. This is an event I'm viewing with some trepidation having never summoned up the courage to try tartan before…..

Not much painted and a few purchases, not bad for 17 days in the hospital. I am mounting some figures I painted but they will show up next month.

bought=114
painted= 126
so +12 for month

Not a lot painted but nothing bought.

Painted
24 British Colonial Infantry
12 French SYW infantry
2 British CAs
3 Italian DDs
Total 41
Prior YTD 66+41= +107 YTD

Feb was a total wash for me. The landlord needed to use my hobby space for stuff so I spent 2 weeks organizing and packing things up, then a week unpacking my painting station and getting some work done on 100 15mm figures but not finishing any… Woomp woomp.

Good news is I didn't have anything come in, so no change in numbers.

YTD:
214 painted
106 purchased.

Brings me to +108 ( I was counting the other way around before, but now I'm conforming to the status quo)

A couple small orders came in for March, but I just finished those 100 15mm modern British and I', working on 25mm GZG guys. so hopefully I'll get that lead pile down a little further
