So I have managed to finish 6 more tanks, 3 Panzer IIs and 3 German Armoured Cars (Sd Kfz 221/222).
These are all Battlefront models and have been good to build and paint, with the exception of the armoured car wheels, which were challenging to get to fit well.

Next up is something a bit bigger.
So it's a new year, so how has the last year gone (painting-wise, let's not get into the rest).
Well firstly I've squeezed out another three models, 3 captured Panther tanks for my Soviets. These were used for decoy operations when captured (used to lead advanced to confuse the Germans, for example). Panther were generally not maintained, they were run until something broke, then abandoned.
These have brought my total painted for the year to 117. This is good, as this is significantly better than last year, and more in line with 2019, which is probably the best non-pandemic comparison.
To what did I get done?
The biggest success of the year has been getting a usable Tunisian force painted, however I'm also pleased with getting two forces "complete" (Providing I'm barred from gaming stores to prevent me reinforcing them) and getting back up to a better level of productivity.
My biggest regret has been the lack of actual gaming, thanks to work, a new love life and me not being organised enough to get games set up earlier. Annoyingly, I will miss Corrivalry this year as I have foolishly planned a ski holiday over the top of it!
So what are the plans for next year?
