February 2023 Monthly Round-Up + “Paint What You Got” 2023 Challenge Round-Up

Ah, February. A month where I didn’t get much painted due to a whole bunch of factors. Work being immensely stressful, several heatwaves that always seemed to be scheduled around the weekends as the AC has been D.O.A. and a little misunderstanding between Leonard and myself that left my hand pretty messed up for a few weeks… So I wasn’t posting, painting or following others real well for a little while there…

 

So in the end, I wrapped up February with 5 pieces of pretty simply-done terrain, and only 6 models painted. A pitiful 11 pieces completed, all up.

They do all count towards Dave Stone’s current Paint what You Got challenge, along with the models I completed at the end of Dec through to January.. I even took a special photograph of the December batch at the time…

So my 2023 as of the end of February is 38 models from January and a mere 11 from February. March already has more models done – and I’ll be onto posting those in a couple of days, as I’ve already started to finish models for Monster March over at Swordmaster’s blog – Path of an Outcast.

January 2023 Monthly Round-Up

Yeah, I know – long time, no post. Again. The short version is that work right now is more brutal than it’s ever been in all my time there due to a number of issues, and on top of that we’ve had a pretty hot February compared to the last few while at the same time the AirCon has packed it in along with heatwaves covering almost every weekend – so my weekends lately are a lot less …productive. Or pleasant. So with that, it’s time for the rather belated January Round-Up.

January was essentially a handful of this, a handful of that, and a pile of those. What that actually means is that I got the remainder of my Zombie Dogz painted as well as a single Hasslefree Zombie and the Abominabear from the Western-themed version of Zombicide.

The second handful of models is of course the collection of Original and newer Marvel Crisis Protocol models – Three more from the core set: Black Widow, Captain Marvel and Baron Zemo as well as an earlier model in Venom and some slightly later ones in three of the Winter Guard – Red Guardian, Ursa Major and Crimson Dynamo.

The pile, of course is the 18 Secret Weapon Tiles that I managed to complete. I still have the second half of them to work through – the ones with actual roads on them – and the hope now is to get them done if not before, then over the Easter Break.

Creating my initial tally for 2023 so far: 11 dogz, 2 other Zombies, 18 tiles and 7 Crisis Protocol models – for a total of 38 models. A lot more than I’ll have for February, but I’ll get to those in the next few days! Hopefully when (if!) work calms down, I’ll start to catch up on people’s blog posts. Not that some of you make it any easier to catch up – you know who you are! 😉
