This is the chart that I came up with at the beginning of the year and have been using to keep track of my painting progress. Itt allows me to assign a single value to any number of models I paint.
It is a weighted system, more or less based on the size and complexity of the object. I assign points to time spent on unfinished (painted, primed or assembled) models as well. Each of these sub-phases have a specific Painting Unit, or PU (read as the 'pooh' from Winnie-the-Pooh') value assigned to them, which is multiplied by the number of items falling in that category, and the sum of these yields my monthly PU output, which I track in a diary.
Scores are not carried over or subtracted, so a project primed in one month and completed in the next carries full value in both time periods.
Generally a completed model receives the most value, while for large scale models (which are painted in subassemblies) assembly weighs more than painting.
I have been meticulously administering the number of painted figures and other hobby-related things throughout the year, and by the end of December I can come up with a yearly review.
This overview will mostly be the test to see how well the system works and whether I can gain anything by it, e.g. does it help on focusing certain projects or scheduling my hobby time.
