October-December 2025 Quarterly Round-Up

Well, it’s the end of January 2026, so I guess I may as well post the finale for 2025’s painting.

Basically, as often happens towards the end of the year – a combination of work ramping up, a bit of burnout, a bunch of “life happens” and an extended video game event being more appealing and less effort than hobbytime combine to drastically reduce what I get done in the final months of the year. Usually with a paint resurgence of sorts once work breaks up for Christmas and we get that recovery time.

So what did I get done? Seven Tiny Teal Tanks, Six Large Tiny Tanks, Fifteen bits of scatter terrain/barricades and Forty mixed Zombies. 68 various bits and pieces over three months. Not my best run, but it’s ok.

I was at 396 models at the end of September, so the extra 68 models from October-December gives me a 2026 total of 464 models.

Not too shabby. Not my best but not my worst, either. Also not anything near the number of models I’ve purchased and/or printed in the last year. That’s something to work on a bit more in 2026. I’m not going to lay out specific hobby goals for this year of 2026. They’d just be the same as the ones I’ve kept rolling over. Finish units, try to finish armies, finish complete boardgames worth of models, work on this and that sets of models, try to play more games. You know the drill from your own hobby experience.

September Monthly Round-Up (Season of Scenery: Extended Edition)

Another way overdue round-up here. I’ve actually had these photos sitting on my drive for months ready to go, but frankly I just wasn’t feeling up to posting. You know how it gets sometimes when posting on your blog feels more like work than hobby or fun? Yeah, that. I guess I finally got all the individual updates done and then burnout hit and I didn’t force myself to write this post when I “should” have. I mean, mid-October is when work becomes much more intense running through the rest of the year until the week before/of Christmas, and I do tend to disappear in November, so it tracks.

Anyway, it turns out I managed to paint a very decent amount of stuff in September before dropping off. The focus still largely being on Nu-Epic/Battletech scaled terrain, but with a bit of extra variation and finishing off of other things.

One thing I particularly like about a lot of these terrain pieces is their versatility. A lot of this stuff primarily aimed at the tiny-mans scale still works okay right up to heroic 32mm or even the 40mm Crisis Protocol/Shatterpoint scale. A while back, Frank the Tankfanboy asked to see a cityscape photo of my tiny buildings – I still haven’t gotten one and still have more work to do to get one I’m going to be happy with (more terrain to finish) but hopefully these shots will suffice in the meantime of a weird looking outpost surrounded by mesas and patches of broken ground!

The focus in September remained very much on terrain for Dave Stone’s Season of Scenery (Extended Edition) which culminated in the return of the Prodigal Sun as Dave was absent for some time for personal reasons – returning from his blogging break pretty much just as I dropped out. As it happens, EVERYTHING I completed in September counted towards it!

So what did I manage to complete in September 2025?

In all, I completed:

Fabricator’s Lair’s: Botanicae building, 8x Generators, a “1×2 Medium A” building/segment, a 2×4 Medium Building and a 2x of 2x2x2 silos, Grimdark Industrial Promethium Reprocessing Factory and Grimdark Industrial Forge.

Wargame Forge’s Ruined Gothic Cathedral, nonPareil Institute’s Power Generator, and a family of 9x variously (re)shaped and (re)sized Propane Tanks by Syllogy.

9x Tinnut BattleTerrain Rough Terrain Tiles, 11x Thunderhead Studios Hextech Hills, a 20th Century Fox logo by Isekai Heavy Industries.

2x signs from AMG’s Marvel Crisis Protocol Cosmic Terrain Pack (I need to do a group shot once I figure out where the other elements have gone!), the Beastman Herdstone for AoS/ToW from Citadel and 6x GF9 Battlefield in a Box Sandstone Rock Outcrops.

57 total. Unless I’ve miscounted.

Oh, and there’s also a little subway entrance piece from Fabricator’s Lair that got missed. You can see it between the Botanicae, Industrial Forge and one of the Propane Tanks near the Fox Logo. So 58. Not too shabby for a single month’s work!

Not too bad a haul. Looking at it all together, one realisation does occur. There are no “miniatures” in there at all. No humans or humanoids, or even any vehicles. It’s all scenery and terrain.

Last time we did this, I’d counted a total of 338 models completed, so adding in this September haul the new total comes to 396, so that’s the “365” target well and truly broken in 2025.

I have also done some painting since I last posted, so once I’ve had a chance to take some new photos, I’ll start posting the October-November-December stuff and do a combined round-up for those models. It may or may not start before the New Year because we’re still in the Family Obligation Fortnight for a couple more days and then there’s other important things to get done once the period of seeing people is finished up – you know how that goes this time of year… I was crawling around on the roof fixing things this morning – not fun!
