2022: Year in review

Hey, so time to do our look back at 2022.

Not been a successful year on the painting front really with only 67, models painted, very poor compared to previous years (100+). Many reasons for this, work being put into the railway, for example. However my job has got even more manic this year and I don't think it has helped at all. The lack of a lockdown hasn't helped, but lets not ask to get that back!

I have made good progress on the Jordanian force however, getting a lot of their armour painted.

I also won Best Painted Army at the Corrivalry Flames of War Competition with my North West Europe WW2 British.

My Germans finally got their Panthers painted as well, my Soviets got a boost with some more tanks and aircraft and the Cold War British got their infantry and Harriers!

I also started a Tunesian German force. I have also been Playing around with the new Army Painter Speedpaint, meaning I got some models built.

I also built one of my biggest models, a G gauge FNA Wagon, for my collegue Phil's retirement present.

My model railway has seen a substantial amount of work, gaining several new buildings, and scenary this year. I've attached a couple of photos of the layout and the display shelf I've been building (Still WIP, awaiting track). Still plenty to do.
