End of the 1st quarter. A visit to the local toy soldier show saw me pick up 20 20mm figures for the SCW and the 4th wave of figures from Mark's Little Soldiers added another 38. Vacation and work took up most of the month. I did get some painting in but not much brought to conclusion.

Last months post.

March roared in like a lion, and roared out with a F1 tornado.

But I did get stuff done…

So for the month of March….

Figures Purchased: 0 (Again with this Zero madness! What will the neighbors think?)

Painted: 38

This breaks down to:

Townsfolk/Fantasy figures: 3
Dancer: 1
Sailors: 2
Pulp: 7
Gangsters and G-Men: 13
Cowboys/Gunfighters: 5
Mule and Burro: 2
Ox: 1
Barrels: 4

So YTD total:
Bought: 0
Painted: 96

Net: +96

I spent time doing my income taxes, so I didn't get as much painted completed as I had hoped.
Mycenaean Greeks 23
Fantasy inn staff 1

Goats 6 (goats, by the way, have rectangular pupils to their eyes, giving them a wider field of view than humans have)
Cattle 1
Ravens 1

So, I painted 24 figures for the month, but I also bought 24 figures in March.

Year
Bought 70
Painted 81
Sold 43
So, as far as just painting goes, I am still 11 ahead for the year. My lead pile has decreased by 54 figures.

0/0 again,lots of things going on….

I finally finished a unit of 10mm Late Roman auxilia that had been languishing since last fall. 37 figs completed. None purchased.
I did purchase a pair of Matchbox 1/72 scale Gloster Gladiators, painted one up in Belgian markings. But these are not for gaming.

Echo 103 Apr 2023 4:28 p.m. PST

I was net -2 for March.

On the plus side, I painted 26 figures:
- 14-man unit of Accurate 54mm AWI, plus 1 disorder and 1 casualty figure from ATKM
- Finished 10 28mm skirmishing French Voltigeurs (mix of Warlord and Perry) that had been on my painting desk for almost a year.

On the minus side, I found 28 ATKM 54mm figures for sale, and purchased them since they are out of production and not often available.

This brings me to -74 for the year.
