With work and holidays I knew not much would happen on the painting front. The excitement of getting the Swedish Figures far out weighed the disappointment of not painting. Still in the black. Last months post TMP link Bought – 12. 54mm Swedish Infantry in 1910 Uniform with Tricorn
Painted – 0
The month – -12 YTD bought – 137
YTD painted – 226
YTD – +89 |

I painted 10 figures in July and purchased none at all. Not only that, but I finished up a number of terrain pieces, so I don't feel too bad about July. On the other hand, my YTD figures are still lagging.
YTD Purchased --141
YTD Painted -- 111
YTD I'm still lagging by 30 figures Of course, if you count the 47 figures I sold back in February, my unpainted lead pile is 17 figures smaller than at the beginning of the year. Not the goal of this pledge thing, but there is something to be said for this. Grelber |

These posts are great. They also have sent me into a tailspin as I have come to realize that with a "0" of painted miniatures in the last long while I am rather becoming a professional miniatures collector…I buy them and can't seem to paint them… Thank you for sharing though. Your progress IS inspiring… |

This month – -462 YTD – -38 I'll recover, slowly. Unfortunately my painting time is going to be seriously reduced for the foreseeable future. I have a plan going forward but it'll still be slow. |

For all of 2025 so far…bought none and painted none. I guess I'm in a bit of a slump. |
