Its been a fab year with a few little hiccups along the way but mostly great.
It saw a cull midway through the year of some projects that have stalled and been dead ended for to long. This has allowed me to focus on my main projects Post Apocalypse and 7TV. As well as progress on some smaller projects such as Batman and Relics (well 1 out of 3 armies painted for Relics)

Despite a few quiet months I have surprised myself with quite a productive year.
87 Miniatures painted and 14 Terrain pieces
Quite a decent mixture as well.

Plans for this year are pretty much more of the same. Though I hope to get some Relics games in and paint a second army for it to play with Pulp Citizen. I am going to try and be good now until March and just paint what I have until then.

Quite an achievement, seeing them together like this shows how well painted they all are. I hope you can keep it up this Year too.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
Thank you very kindly. It surprised me creating this post last week how many there actually were finished I felt there was far less!
DeleteMost impressive job, love the Post Apoc terrain especially...Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you Phil. I really must put more effort in on the terrain front. I find it daunting but yet enjoy the results I must be firmer in 2016!
DeleteWell done on quite the impressive list!
ReplyDeleteThank you good sir!
DeleteWhat a year for you awesome miniatures and stuff Simon, your painting is superb and love the whole collection. have great 2016
ReplyDeleteThanks fella. I still admire your output though mate!
DeleteMarvellous output for the year, Simon. Both in quantity and quality. Certainly your postings have been inspirational me, if not a little expensive form time to time (when you've encouraged me to pick up a parcel of minis myself!!). Looking forward to this year's miniatures enormously :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks mate I'm hoping its been a good influence :P Ha its an expensive hobby for us all! I've only really sold stuff to by stuff in the last half of 2016 :)
DeleteGreat retrospective mate, and like Blaxkleric says, marvellous output for the year.
ReplyDeleteKudos mate, and looking forward to seeing what you do in the year ahead. :)
Nice round up. An eventful year.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rob, If only it matched your output!
DeleteYou've certainly had a great year, Simon, with so much to be proud of. Just keep up the good work for 2016.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan I certainly hope to!
DeleteA great recap of a productive year, Simon. Golgo Satana jumped out at me while scrolling through the pics. Beyond that there's just too much cool stuff to list.
ReplyDeleteWell done & keep it rolling in 2016.
Cheers dude! Yeah one of my favourites I think! I plan to!
DeleteHooray for the wedding :) I still remember it!
ReplyDeleteThanks it was the highlight of my year :)
DeleteThe minis all look great, but my favorite photo is the one of you and your bride - finally have a face to put to all the minis.
ReplyDeleteAw thanks!
DeleteWow, that's quite the list of impressive looking mini's! Definitely inspires me to try and paint more :-) Looking forward to seeing what you get up in 2016.
ReplyDeleteCheers fella! I hope it does :)
DeleteAlfie is Flippin gorgeous. A good addition to your family.
ReplyDeleteA good load of work for the year sir, very well done!
Thanks dude! He's growing bloody quick!
DeleteYou have realy made some stuning minis this year ... great work!
ReplyDeleteThanks fella!
DeleteThat's not a bad haul at all.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing what 2016 brings.
Cheers
Stu
Cheers and likewise!
DeleteYou've certainly had a brilliant year Simon, it has been an absolute delight to see you collection grow - here's to 2016!
ReplyDeleteCheers Michael indeed here's to 2016!
DeleteYou've had a very productive year and you got married too!
ReplyDeleteYes it turned out that way. I must remember to go back and compare it to previous years!
DeleteIt's interesting to see all of last year's output in one place, isn't it? I don't think I'd dare do it myself because I'd then realise all the things I had been putting off and had failed to achieve for yet another 12 months!
ReplyDeleteNo its not called putting off its called prioritising :) For example I have painted a single Necromunda figure.....................
DeleteGreat review, well done. HNY.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year sir and thanks fella!
DeleteA very productive year. Congratulations on the nuptials most of all. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteThanks fella!
DeleteNot a bad year then?
ReplyDeleteIndeed a fab year!
DeleteSome great minis and smooth paint jobs there. I think if I had to chose a favourite, it'd be Golgo Satana. Here's to a productive 2016!
ReplyDeleteCheers Derek! Yes indeed one of my favourites!
DeleteGreat stuff Simon. Keep up the good work in 2016, love reading your blog!
ReplyDeleteA fantastically productive year indeed!
ReplyDeleteSuper congratulations on getting married and heartfelt condolences on your loss of Morgan. Definitely the good with bad.
Thanks for keeping on doing what you do!
