The second quarter of 2026 came to an end a few days ago. With that in mind, how successful was it? A saying comes to mind: so close, yet so far away. I almost finished all three planned projects. Let’s take a look. This quarter’s goals were to complete the bolt thrower operator for the Akhelian Allopex, the Peril Pledges (Gonks), and two Shadow Warriors for my Mordheim warband. I also set myself a bonus goal: a Rat Ogre from Age of Sigmar. Akhelian Allopex I started the quarter strong with the bolt thrower operator. Work began in April, and…

Finishing the Unfinished Q2 2026

I ended the first quarter of 2026 in quite a good spot. My goal was to finish a Stormcast Eternal, a witch, and some elves with anger management issues. Or perhaps deity issues. Either way, as the last days of March crept by, I took a look at my quarterly progress. Stormcast Eternal First on the list – the Stormcast Eternal. A win! I finished this particular model with plenty of time to spare. That being said, it consumed a good portion of my hobby time, mainly because I spent a lot of it experimenting with non-metallic metal techniques. Does…

The first month of 2026 draws to a close, and it’s past time to discuss the progress – or lack thereof – from the fourth quarter of 2025. Quite a bit happened outside of hobby time that affected it. The holidays consumed much of my free time, work ramped up significantly, and the extra hours brought their share of fatigue. I experienced a bit of burnout and some creative block. Add in a new feline friend to the household and, as one might expect, not much paint flowed from brush to model. The Labyrinth Witch In all honesty, I only…

The third quarter of 2025 has passed by, and we are well into the first month of the fourth quarter. So, how did we do last quarter? Great! I completed two of them, and worked on the third one. Not as much as I’d like but still progress. So, what did I finish? I completed the last hero in the Reaper Miniatures Dragon’s Don’t Share 2013, the elf ranger. On top of it, I painted the Dunkeldorf Mondplatz Monument. The third model of course being the Storm Giantess. The same one that’s stuck around the last three quarters. I mentioned…

So, the second quarter of 2025 ended on June 30th. As such, it’s time to see the progression of the projects left over from the last two quarters. Will I personally redeem myself or will it be a matter of disappointment? After all, in the previous two quarters I accomplished very little. The reasons are laid out in the previous blog. What about this one? I still encountered multiple hurdles in May and June, some personal and some work related. Well, I feel like I moved forward on several projects. As I mentioned in the past, any progress is a…

Let’s get real: the past six months were a whirlwind — fun, hectic, and honestly, not as productive as I had hoped when it came to painting miniatures. A Look Back: What Happened? In the final quarter of 2024, I made some progress on my miniature projects, but nowhere near what I envisioned. Fast forward through Q1 2025, and… well, not a single model was finished. The reality? Life happened — both the fun kind and the chaotic kind. Here’s a quick breakdown: 📦 A sudden move to a new apartment 🏖️ Two vacations — one to Disneyland and another…
