March-April 2026 Monthly Round-Up

Another dual-monthly Round-Up today. Yes, at the end of May, I’ve finally finished posting March and April’s models while not yet having photographed a single one of May’s models.

It’s been awhile now – I didn’t even realise that the greenish buildings hadn’t yet been rounded up for one of these posts.

Only two “proper” Legion models as well, not counting the 3D printed Legion-Compatable terrain pieces. I did at least finish off a nice little chunk of Marvel Zombies’ Bystander models with six done (and more to come!)

I also took a few photos of the two broad scale categories alone, to give a little bit of a different perspective on each.

I do of course always like to see the all-in-one photos, but when you’ve got a couple of months smooshed together along with some incogruent scales of models, I’m thinking it might be nice to give them a bit of space to visually “breathe”. Metaphorically speaking.

Funny – it looks like more models when they’re laid out separately like that, doesn’t it! It certainly gives each model a chance to be seen, even in the context of a tiny part of a cityscape – but even that is improved as opposed to just a mass of stuff smushed together in a tight grey mass.

Well, that’s it for March and April. Now onto sharing May’s models during June… 🙄

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.
