I forgot to update here so here’s 5 months worth of “progress” in a single post.

Pledge 1 – Paint it or punt it. This is going pretty well, I’ve cut down more than half of my collection and been pretty happy with the progress painting what is left. I have a project on the go for it here. I started the year with only 8% of my models completely painted and a collection of 1281 models. I am currently sitting with 631 models and 28.3% painted.

Pledge 2 – make terrain. I’ve reworked this pledge a little to painting the terrain kits I own rather than creating from scratch. I’ve kind of come to the realisation that I just don’t enjoy making scratch built as much as I thought I would. I am stepping up on terrain a bit more now though as home gaming will come back before my club reopens.

Pledge 3 – help more people into the hobby. Nope, Covid. I’m just going to drop this pledge at this point and also…

Pledge 4 – get the confidence to go to a tournament/organised play game day event this year. Buh-bye pledge, see you in 2021 maybe

Pledge 5 – Hobby for 30 mins a day for at least 25 days a month. This one has been an interesting pledge. I wouldn’t say it has been a success but I have been managing hobby on more days than I would have in the past. It is rarely less than an hour and often is two to three hours at a time. It has felt really good and so although not entire as designed, I’m happy with the progress.
