"The Pledge November 2021" Topic

Despite holidays and work November was a decent month. Heading into the end of the year it's been difficult to avoid all the sales and the new release of figures for the Empress Vietnam range.

I bought 12 humans and a horse, hopefully the last Vikings I will buy (oh, who am I kidding?).
I painted 22 Russian Civil War figures.

So, a positive month.

In November I got back into the swing of things again.

Still working on tidying up and basing 1/72 Napoleonics and at last started on the French. Beginning at the top with the Guard, then moving on to some infantry.

Had a bit of 'fun with flags' sort of inventing some fanions for the French. Then re-organised a good portion of my collection into two metal shallow draw filing cabinets. Next step is to dump a few dozen assorted cardboard boxes.

I'm hoping to break the 500 by New Year, will depend on how much time I get with Christmas looming. First to do are several batteries of Guard artillery, then if I finish them it's on to the 7th Legere, colpaks and all ;-).

Bought nothing, but also painted nothing – busy month, in good part because on short notice we are taking care of a 7 month old

Not a good month, Made a small Old Glory order to complete a couple armies and got a couple good deals on ebay. Also am having problems motivating on the painting front.

bought= 256
painted= 116
Net= -140
Total for year= -140

Doesn't look good for breaking even. My wife buys me quite a few figures for Christmas and I have some plastics coming from Amazon. But I should have a good January & February painting.
