Finally a big thanks you to all those who commented on my blog through the year

An impressing number, average 6 figures a day. When you paint, how many do you paint at the same time? I usually work in groups of 10-12. Depends on the sprue or the set of metals.

Fire at Will said...

Uwe as I explained in an earlier post that part of the reason for my high output is the large batches of figures I paint at one time. Batches can vary between 6 and 100 figures, the smaller being specialist units and the larger being the non-uniformed irregulars, usually the batch is one or two 24 figure units. This means I can systematically work though a single colour at a time, proportionately reducing the time spent preparing and cleaning up.
I am typically working on 4-5 batches at one time, so I can switch my attention between them according to my mood. So fine detailing is done when I'm alert and undercoating when I'm tired.

And I was thinking I was making good progress in 2020 but I feel like a dwarf now. That is an output that nearly nobody can outdo.

I am making a list for this year.
