Another month of restrained buying. I did pick up a few ARVN and Duster from Empress. Finished the Brunswick unit by painting 12 more figures but that was all.

Well, the best laid plans of mouse and men, brung low by covid.

This month zero/zero

Work deadline, travelling and the virus put paid to painting. Luckily I had it quite mild, 3 days fever then dog tired since.

Anyway, still on the Baden battalions, hope I'll finish them this month, then a couple more French battalions to sort out

MTD 0
YTD +573

If I get that far then its time to sort out the Poles.

not a good month, painted a lot for others and got some good deals on ebay.

Bought= 365
Painted= 49
net= 316

Ytd
Bought= 719
painted= 619
Net= -100

So need to watch spending and paint like crazy. Though I am just finishing 106 28mm Napoleonics(which will change the numbers to positive). I sympathize with Timbo W, when I got covid I didn't paint for 3 weeks, really messes up plans.

+ 0 purchased!! Big win
+ 36 painted

Overall weak month for production. Have several units started and ready for paint so hopefully June I can crush it.

The beginnings of the summer struggle. With the warm weather the yard work, garden to our English friends, becomes significant.

Painted 0

Bought 0

YTD +79 At least I didn't lose any ground. I have some Romans and Gauls That I thought I would finish over the weekend but didn't. So I have a jumping off point for June.

I was able to control myself till the end of the month where I found a grest deal on some Middle Earth minis but that was my only figure purchase. Here are the numbers'

Bought
48 Middle Earth Last Alliance figures

Total 48

Painted
15 28mm Viking/Saxons
20 28mm Classical Romans
9 28mm Gauls
205 15mm WSS

Total 249

Total this month +201
YTD +450

Not too bad, I wanted to be at 1250 for half the year, won't hit that but it will be decent enough.

I had a bunch of stuff come in this month and didn't keep up with the painting. However, I just prepped 200 figures and got in the speed paints, so June should look up again.

Start: +94

Painted:
12 Aliens to test out the speed paints
36 British AWI line infantry

Purchased:
80 Persian infantry from Wargames Atlantic
40 Frostgrave Cultists from North Star
45 Romans in a Clash of Spears box set
6 other random figures

End: -17, down for the year. But ready to roll and get back positive. Last year I finished up by 700 or so, I'll see if I can get on track again for that.

Not as good as I fantasized, but not at all a bad month.
I painted 25 human size figures plus 3 larger figures, and I bought--drum roll, please--no figures at all!
Totals for the year: 106 humans and 5 large creatures painted, and 46 humans, 3 large figures, and a tank purchased.

I'm starting to doubt I will finish 300 figures this year, though.
