Another fairly productive year for me, lets have a look at the round up of 2021.
Firs of all - what did I paint. The answer is:
376 Minis of all sizes and scales. So overall, down on 2020 by just over 50 minis. That I think is due to two things - there was a lot of 10mm in 2020 (quicker to paint) and my usual summer hobby slump was very bad this year. Still, that's over a mini a day so I can't complain.
Hobby Bingo wise, that gave me:
30 boxes complete - 300 points
5 lines compete - 250 points
For a grand total of 550 points. Sadly, I didn't complete the grid but that was never very likely due to the fact it contained kitbashed minis and scenery - not something I do very much of.
Where do we go from here? Well, first off here is the traditional update on the Christmas Haul:
Gives you a very clear idea of what I want to get into next year. I have always wanted to do Lord of the Rings, though these will be for the mass battle "War of the Ring" rather than the skirmish game. I also want to start work on a personal Napoleonic big battle project. The main choice on that will be scale - 10m, 18mm or 28mm? I suspect, in true wargamer style, the answer will end up being all three!
I am terrible at keeping to targets and plans but here is my rough guide to 2022:
- Complete 600 minis (aim high!)
- Do more of my personal stuff (of last years 376 minis, only 75 were for me)
- Get a games table sorted out finally.
- Buy less than I paint (even if the pile of shame only goes down by a few models, I'll call that a win!)
- Continue with two blog posts a month.
Not grand ambitions for some, but for me, that's a good guide to work to. We shall see how long it lasts into 2022.
To all my readers - thanks for tagging along on my sometimes sporadic blogging. I hope you all had a good Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.
