Review of 2024 - part 2 - painting breakdown

Painting output was 3,084 items, which was a record output for one year, but like last year, it does contain a substantial amount of rework/rebasing, over 50%. The quantity of 3D printed material was 419 items. Now breaking it all down.

Completed rebasing the British, Portuguese Spanish and Brunswick armies.

Finally I skipped ahead and replaced my Austrian Commanders and also my Russian limbers.

Will that is a huge amount of work - congratulations. And an effort in recording it through the year so you pull these sorts of analysis together. I am part way through rebasing 10s of thousands of 6mm Napoleonics (and touching up some colours) as I paint more and complete out armies that i started buying for in 1994.
