Painting Tally July 2025

As usual, my painting output after a very productive month is kind of reduced. I think this period of odd months actually helps not getting tired with anything.

July's goals were:

Paint 1/72 WSS/GNW figs - well done

Paint the German ships for the Denmark Strait - hadn't done anything

28mm Warlord, GBP, FG:GA plastics - done, I finished a bunch of cavalry and foot

Block Galleys - done, finished a galleon, two galiots and four island sections

Play at least one game - a recurring feat which I had not met, unless you count the pair of scenarios I wrote.

Let's get on to the figures:

28mm

Completed

2x Wargamer 17th century ladies

three resin dogs

12x mounted Cossacks

16x Warlord plastic shotte
4x terrain pieces (I counted the island sections as 28mm hills)

1/72

Completed

32x GNW infantry

8x GNW cavalry

1 GNW gun + 4 crew

Primed

16x GNW infantry

8x GNW cavalry

1 GNW gun + 4 crew

Assembled

5x GNW guns

1/350

Completed

1x Zvezda Revenge

2x galiots

As a side note, I'm in a situation (very rare for wargamers/collectors) where actually the greater part of my 28mm collection is painted, all I have are ten piratical crewmen, some Perry HYW bods and maybe a few Landsknechts that I hadn't touched. But I shall remedy that next month with some fresh loot :)

This brings my total Painting Unit value this month to 916, not a bad number at all.

If somebody is interested in my PU system I would be more than glad to share it, but my thinking is I will make a summary at the end of the year and fine tune the system. I started using it in Feb and ten months of data might just be enough.

For the matter of purchases, I bought the 1/72 plastics and three 1/350 plastic ships on a local hobby store sale, plus some craft store paints (mostly for terrain and basing), a large amount of 2mm plasticard, PVA and plastic storage boxes. 

Furthermore I held a great purge and threw out a lot of useless stuff.
