The Ides of March

This is a monthly self indulgent post for me to sit down and write a report card on how I have gone against my Hobby Project Plan.

March has been a pretty good month. Our 48th wedding anniversary, the football has started and a very productive hobby month.

I have written thirty one blogs including twenty three hobby posts, two book reviews, five battle reports and one other blog.

The toy production has also been excellent with the Mori and Oda clan Japanese figures, each consisting of thirty one infantry and fifteen cavalry completed. In addition there was six Napoleonic Cavalry, the Portuguese Napoleonic artillery train, three mega fauna glyptodons, two generic stable buildings, twenty five zombies, and nineteen German WW2 tanks.

In terms of THE project plan only the Japanese figures were on it si who knows what April has in store.

  1. Finish the about 200 Zombies remaining – these will be painted alongside other projects – 25 completed
  2. Dead Man’s Hand civilians.
  3. Complete 2 Japanese 28mm Warlord plastic clans – completed.
  4. The Batman Searchlight – completed
  5. Infinity Nomad faction
  6. Complete Japanese village – again this will be completed alongside other projects – 90% completed.
  7. About 80 more Test of Honour Japanese figures.
  8. Set of 54mm Roman Generals – 50% completed.
  9. Egyptian 28 mm skirmish figures.
  10. Eureka Miniatures 28mm Anubis and Bast figures.
  11. Eureka Miniatures 28mm cricket team.
  12. Various objective markers.
  13. 28mm Australian Light horse (12).
  14. Complete Gotham City railway yard, freeway, port and two ships – about 40% completed (same as in January!) .
  15. Various small Gotham city terrain pieces (bill boards, containers, small buildings) – completed.
  16. Crooked dice post apocalyptic scatter terrain – 60% completed (same as in January!).
  17. Gangs of Rome figures and buildings (this is about half completed)
  18. Set of Army tents and camp fires.
  19. French figures for Sharpe Practice.
  20. British figures for Sharpe Practice.
  21. Finish Portuguese for Sharpe Practice – just needs basing.
  22. Complete Crooked Dice Shanty Town buildings.
  23. Paint assorted farm animals for use as scenery/objectives for several projects.
  24. Complete French Indian Wars trapper and Indian canoes and various cavalry.
  25. WW2 French Army for Bolt Action.
  26. 28mm Skirmish Plains Indians.
  27. 28mm US Cavalry.
  28. Modern armed civilians and rioters and 2 rock bands – 50% completed.
  29. Harry Potter Figures
  30. Finish Modern ISAF and insurgent figures and vehicles.

So despite a good hobby month not much of what I had actually planned to do was completed.

The Guru will meditate in the temple and contemplate the universe for inspiration on what to do in April.

Which means, if March is anything to go by, this is code for I have NO FREAKING IDEA!
