Review of 2015 - part 2

Having looking at progress against plan, hers's a breakdown of the 1,701 items I painted this year. Of this 61 were 28mm figures, the other 1,640 were 20mm as usual.

Breakdown by period:

Period	Total
WW2	764
Terrain	370
Napoleonic	290
Renaissance	93
Medieval	64
SYW	48
Colonial	45
WSS	18
AWI	8
WW1	1
Grand Total	1,701

• The dominant theme for the year was WW2, mainly concentrated on the Axis winter forces, but also covering a lot of rebasing/reworking of existing items and various die-casts.
• Next biggest is terrain, showing the majot effort on the terrain for the SOGG big game this summer covering the fighting at Lentini, Sicily.
• The thrid biggest period is surprisingly Napoleonics, where a large number of Prussian and French cavalry were reworked and rebased ready for the Ligny game. Only 33 new figures were actually painted.
• Renaissance was only concerned with my Cossacks and Wallachians.
• Medieval was one of my failures this year, alsmost all of these are 28mm dark agre Saxons
• SYW only comprised the two Jacobite units, with the cavalry to follow shortly
• I had completely forgotten that I added some Egyptian cavalry and artillery to my Colonial (Sudan) forces

Breakdown by category:

Type	Total
Infantry	488
Terrain	370
Rework	358
Vehicle riders	148
Gunners	88
Tanks and AFVs	72
Cavalry	55
Artillery	34
Commanders	27
Equipment (Mortars/MMGs, etc)	19
Vehicles	19
Horses	12
Other	7
Limbers	2
Wagons	1
Aircraft	1
Grand Total	1,701

No surprise that infantry is first but the quantity of terrain for Lentini also shows up here. 2016 has also been marked by the amount of reworking/rebasing/touching up carried out, in some cases it would, in retrospect, have been easier to start from scratch. Note this category also includes the tarted up die-cast tanks. The number of vehicle riders produced is down to the numbers of crewmen provided in the PSC sets, and I still have loads left over.

Overall a fairly successful year of painting and modelling
