2020 - A Modelling Year in Summary


Despite my best intentions to restore and reinvigorate this blog, the combinations of my wonderful family, work and COVID have united to limit my opportunities to put fingers to keyboard. However, that does not mean that my hands have been idle and I have instead indulged my personal preference for modelling over painting with the assembly of circa 1000 models which I will categorise and list below. This has been in slight contrast to my friends and colleagues of the Coity Castle Gamers which have focussed their 2020 attentions on painting (an area in which they are much better than I 😄):

and a number of other models and projects which I will have inevitably forgotten from this list... and not including the stacks of models still to finish for each of the forces listed above or those bought ready built and in most cases painted off eBay / Facebook Marketplace...

Here's to 2021 being my year of the paint brush 😌
