What's another year?

[petercooman]

Seems not that long ago since i painted my first pendraken ww2 model, the churchill avre. I posted pics straigth away on the forum here, on the 23rd of december 2012.

Now, almost a year later, i finished the last of my british troops, and decided to put things togheter and take a picture!

Here is everything ww2 i painted in since 23 december last year 




Let's hope next year is as productive as this year

I would certainly say that has been productive, nice one! 

[petercooman]

Thx!

I did forget to fit the scenery in the picture though

Not too bad for a years worth of work.

I started thinking it would be good for me to track how much I paint in a year so I can better understand how long it might take me to complete a project. But the more I think about it the more I realize I really don't want to know. I have grandiose ideas for projects and I really don't want to know that it might take 10 years or more to complete some...

Just start small and keep adding to it, that's what i did. Paint everything i had and then when it's (nearly) finished, buy some more! It helps you not to loose heart!

Excellent stuff Peter !

Productive!

As a matter of interest, have you got an OOB? I love a nice OOB.

Looks luverrly, BUT and its a big but, dont go looking at any of that there Nik Harwood's posts, he doesnt measure painting time in years but hours.

Not really, but i based my platoons etc of fred 12df's site, for the right numbers etc..

For example: my british infantry platoon mimics fred's one,only exception is i didn't get a wasp for the carrier platoon:

My tanks however just come in squadrons, representing support derived from other regiments.

That's quite a haul! Congrats!

Hehehe - I painted 55 x 28mm WW2 US Airborne figures last weekend...3.5 hours from black undercoat 

If only my basing materials & spray matt varnish wasn't in a storage unit, I'd finish 'em 

[petercooman]

Come on then finish the farm then, and unload the unit.

This is excellent advice, it's those small moments of triumph when you have almost painted everything you have, that really spur you on to paint more.
