Back on October 1, 2024, I started a one hundred day + 10 reserve days painting challenge. The plus ten was to build in cushion for some gaming conventions and the holidays and I ended up using all ten 'reserve' days. I count the challenge as a success because on the last day, January 18, 2025, I had completed 1,023 figures with most of them table ready and the rest just needing based textured and seal coating. That makes four years running I've painted over 1,000 figures per year. Maybe not prize winning paint jobs but a figure painted on the table is a pretty good prize in and of itself. And I contend that once a game is under way, the paint job barely matters most of the time.
Where playing with toy soldiers is the whole point - and sharing the joy of doing so. And keeping a record of what's been done and what is still awaiting completion. A note of caution for those unfamiliar: this activity can be remarkably addictive and take over your free time. Well, now wait a minute, it's so much fun that shouldn't be a problem. Oh, that's right. It's not! (title with asterisk in bar below is newest or most recent modification to a Page topic)
