Dobby the ranger don’t make no resolutions...

Well.  That was 2017.  Where did it go?  Bugger.

Despite starting the year with the intention of painting, I spent the first two thirds of it prepping and building models.  I built 186 models for D&D from various ranges and primed nearly 600 for a multitude of games, most of them in one glorious five day stretch in August.  To be fair, the first half of the year was largely overtaken by a house move - preparing the old house for sale and then all the rigmarole of sorting out the new house (which still isn’t completely sorted).

In the end, I managed to paint 158 miniatures of all sizes so I’m fairly happy with that.  None of which have appeared on the blog yet.  As I said - bugger.  My intention when starting the blog was to regularly update it with my painting progress and for it to also act as a record of all my previous painting.  I don’t make New Year’s resolutions because I’m all too aware that in my case the mind is willing, but the flesh is weak. Having said that, I do want to post more regularly.  I think a lot of the posts may just be a unit or model that I’ve painted in the past, but not recorded in the virtual world, and will therefore be presented without much comment.

    1. Thanks, Michal. I tried hard to increase the contrast within colours on this and the previous set of models - my older models tend to look a bit flat.
