February 2026 Monthly Round-Up

February round-up is here! it seems that I’m perpetually about three weeks behind on these things. It’s mostly because I just don’t have enough time to spend writing these things and I’m forever backlogged by the need to take piles of photos, then edit them, then write these things up!

Obviously the main things I got painted in February were Star Wars models – a couple from Imperial Assault, a few from Legion, a bunch of 3D printed Ewoks for Legion and then some Speeders for terrain.

The kind of ..”second wave” of things I finished was a result of the Oil Wash sessions that Marouda helped out with – a bunch of 3D printed terrain pieces. Three Hoth-style turrets – again with Legion (and Shatterpoint) in mind, the scale-agnostic Tech Cult Storage Tanks and then the Pyramid building from Shiaic3D for Epic and Battletech scale use.

I’m kinda wondering at this point – should I print and paint another set of these Tech Cult Storage Tanks? I’d mirror the damaged & destroyed versions so they’re not exactly the same. I’ve been thinking about it since finishing them and posting them up here, but not 100% sure yet on whether to or not… Thoughts?

So to work out the total of what I managed to complete in February – 3 Turrets, 6 Storage tanks in vearious states, 2 Speeders, 1 “pyramid” building, 18 Ewoks, 2 Lukes & 1 Thrawn, 4 Emperor’s Guards, 6 Droids, aaaannd… that’s Numberwang!

With 43 more models painted in February added to the 64 models from January, I’m up to 107 completed 2 months into the new year.

March isn’t shaping oput to be nearly as productive as January or February so far, though I’ve got more “start to finish” stuff completed than usual so that’s something that does take a bit more time typically. With 2 weekends left in the month (though this one looks busy) I may manage to get a decent number of modles done in March. We’ll have to see – but back to February – Literally everything here also counts towards Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 25-26 due to being completed between Dec 26th and Feb 28th.

January 2026 Monthly Round-Up

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.
