Here’s January 2026 monthly round-up! Sure, it’s almost halfway through the month, but I’m still pretty much in catch-up mode here so it is what it is.
There’s still a lot of “scatter terrain/token replacements” here, along with some “NPC/monster” figures like most of the droids, raptors and the Cthulhu monsters and for the first time in a while, a bunch of 28mm “player character” models With Vader, Palpatine, 3PO and the chibi Spider-Man. One lance of Battletech Mechs provide the armoured aspect of January’s completed models.
Not too bad a collection of models for the timeframe – and it’s certainly been nice to have some humanoids that aren’t simply faceless zombies and characters back in the mix as well!
So what did I get done? 1 Spider-Man (he’s been straightened, too!), 2 little Raptors, 2 big Cthulhu beasties, 4 Battletech Mechs, 6 Rebel Assault Droids, 34 pieces from Aliens, 3 bits of Shatterpoint rock & 8 Shatterpoint Crates, 3 Legion models with a 3D printed Gonk friend and Harley Quinn for DCeased. That gives me 64 models completed in the month of January.
See what a bit of a break from work over Christmas can do for productivity! Most of these models also worked for Anne’s 2026 Miniature Assembly Challenge for the assembly and printed-model-cleanup being done before February and all count towards Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 25-26 due to being completed between Dec 26th and Feb 28th.

Thank you Angelos – if they collectively look like a spiller bag of skittles it’s stillnot so bad as long as the models don’t individually look like spilled bags of skittles.

To be fair, there’s a lot of mass-produced batch-painted stuff making up the numbers!

Maybe, but it’s way more than I have achieved over the last few years, so it looks like a lot to me 😃
They all look great 👍

Thanks mate. Hopefully the blog conglomorate can help to inspire you to pick up the brush a bit more this year! 😉
After all, the stuiff on your blog looks pretty nice, so I’m sure your painted models are crying our for more to join them!

Thanks, it’d be nice to get more done. I play very rarely these days though, so the drive just hasn’t been there.
But with the new wargame rules I’m working on, I might get there. We’ll see how often those get played when they’re done 🙂
It is great to see what everyone else is doing though.

Fantastic output mate, that equates to two models a day, of excellent quality.

Thanks Dave – if nothing else, these little bits of scatter/token replacement are always good for bumping up the numbers!

Thanks John! No more mechs for February, but the good news is that I fount my errant Rifleman model yesterday and it’s now parked safely on the painting desk!

Another strong month and there is a noticeable Sci-Fi flavor to January now that I see it all together. I look forward to seeing what the rest of Feb. brings!
