Boo-yah! First platoon of 15mm finished last night. I'm just letting the glue dry and I'll take more pics tonight. The other two platoons are also in finishing stages and should be finished tonight.

I managed another four hours at the workbench and I've now introduced another statistic to follow, hours worked. I was planning to count the hours at the end anyway, but keeping a running total makes it actually easier.

Having based my 15mm figures, I turned to the Mexicans and managed to put a basecoat and wash on them. I will do them a little simpler than the Apaches, which will get the full 3-color treatment. Nothing less will do for Mr. G. and his merry fellows.

I also did a quick tally of the remaining figures. Once I've done everything currently in the works, the total should come to a little over 250 figures. Then I have 144 more of the 15mm figures as obvious choices to paint.

That leaves a gap of about 100 figures. Oopsie...

I am not running out of miniatures. I could probably keep this up for a year before seeing any significant dent in the lead mountain. But I am running out of immediately obvious choices for painting.

To combat this, I rifled though the stocks last night and picked a bunch of Chronopia figures to paint.

This painting speed is also starting to stress the resources. I've already gone through one can of primer and one can of varnish and my Agrax Earthshade and Vallejo Brown Earth basing goo are just about finished too. I do have some spares, but the holidays are coming and actually sparing the time to go shopping for replacements is a bit difficult -- I basically spend all my spare time at the painting desk.

I probably should order some more supplies while there's still a chance of them getting here in time.

Still managed to squeeze in a couple more episodes of ZZ last night. We are about to see the titular Mobile Suit...
