So, decided to get the New Year off to a good start.

Today I laid a a little over a half mile of cork for my model railroad - no seriously. Well, okay, in N-scale that works out to 18' or 17 1/2' for the half mile. But most of you don't care about that.

I did work on a unit of French and Indian War Provincials, 18 more figures moving forward. And then I worked on 36 pronghorn antelope for my Old West set-up.

Now if I can only keep up the momentum!

Well I don't see myself painting a large number of figures in 2018, but I do see myself finishing some large terrain projects, finishing some very large vehicle models and converting/building something else quite large.

I'm on the board. Naiad complete!

Well I started off the New Year by painting an Afghan hill tribe chieften on new years day. I have finished painting the horses for some winged hussars & almost have the riders painted. I track my progress on my profile signature.

Sounds cool. Any photos?

to paint more Miniatures then you buy

I surely need this sanity test! So count me in in this respect.

I've ordered some minis via various Kickstarters. Paid yesteryear, will arrive this year. How do we count them in this challenge?

a secondary goal of painting 365 models in the year (at least)

I've never painted more than about 100 minis in a year, and with more kids, I've got even less time. Then again, I've got a bunch of 15mm for an army project, and the test figures painted much faster than my typical 28mm. So perhaps there's hope... If 15mm counts as one...

I think I've painted six minis this year already. Four 28mm on foot, two 15mm animals (elk & pony).

I've planned to make a thread of my painting here, and this will be a good time to start.

I count 15mm the same as 28mm for my counts, I usually have several projects in both scales going on my painting table at the same time. just finished up some 28mm pirates & have a few more to go. Finished some 15mm Polish renaissance cavalry & have some foot to go with them on the table now. Also some 28mm zombies & survivors & a 15mm Gaulic chariot on the table too.

A whole day at home - snow falling so started work on the "Jason and the Argonauts" project.

The Argo from a resin hull base bought years ago in a box of "seconds", card, paper and tinfoil.

How many points for the ship?

10 or fifteen, depending on intricacy. Is that ram freehand?

I was looking for this thread a while back. I'm in, although I'm aiming to complete a modest 100 this year. I'm at 27 so far with 4 more near completion. However as this is my big holiday in the year I won't be progressing much after this.

Thanks. I assume that you mean the ram on the sail? If so it is a modified version of a ram's head logo I found on the internet. #

OK I will sign up for this. The 365 target is not a serious goal for me but I certainly would like to paint more than I buy for once. I will make note and start adding it to my profile or something.
