Not a lot done this month. The "touching up" of someone else painted figures seems to take longer than it should. I'll need to rethink that process. Purchases have been kept down but I know I'll need my fix soon.

The month
Bought – 0
Painted – 12 LoA 28mm, 7 MLS 30mm


YTD
Bought-237
Painted-128
-109

May wasn't as bad as April, but my estimation of having 40-80 figures done over these two months fell laughably short.
This month saw more "real world" issues, as well as the battle of the backyard, and house-cleaning.
But YAY! I have gone six months without buying ANY figures, and I broke over 100 figures painted this year so far!

So for the month of May:
Bought: 0
Painted: 5
(4 Dixon Pirates, and 1 Rafm Call of Cthulhu News Reporter/Investigator)

So YTD total:
Bought: 0
Painted: 101

Net: +101

We had electrical work done, and lots of boxes are sitting around and furniture pulled out from the walls, mostly while we waited for the city inspector and for the contractor to come back. So, I worked around the mess and painted.
Painted 47 figures, 25 Mycenaean Greeks, seven Sherden, eight Pathans, three goblins, a pulp fiction lady, two Turks, and a Valkyrie. Of course, a lot of these were partially painted at the beginning of the month.
Set against that, I bought six figures in April that didn't arrive until May and are now painted!

So, YTD:
146 painted
87 purchased
59 ahead for the year
