The last post of 2025

Hello everybody, as usual, on the last day of the year I like to post about the year and tally up how many figures I painted.

I'll start by saying that this was kind of a strange one, after 9 years spent in Canada, I decided to move back to Italy, mostly yo help my aging parents.

This meant a move across the Atlantic, an experience I would not wish to anyone.

I moved at the beginning of August, which meant I stopped painting figures of my own few months before that, since it is much easier to move unpainted models, I tried not to add any more to the ones I already had.

So the total of painted miniatures for myself in 2025, is quite a bit lower than that of the last few years.

I painted a lot of stuff for friends before leaving Canada, so that brought the grand total up quite a bit, but as usual, I am more concerned about my own stuff. 

After all these considerations, it is time to get to the numbers:

Things that I painted for myself:

- 28mm fantasy RPG large creatures: 3

- 28mm fantasy Warhammer infantry models: 36

- 28mm fantasy Warhammer mounted models: 3

- 28mm fantasy Warhammer large creatures: 2

- 28mm historical infantry models: 11

- 28mm Sci-fi Warhammer 40,000/Warzone infantry models: 5

- 28mm Sci-fi Warhammer 40,000/Warzone large creatures: 5

- 28mm Sci-fi RPG infantry models: 5

- Epic scale 40,000 infantry stands: 51

- 1/285 Battletech mechs: 12

- 1/285 Battletech vehicles: 3

- 1/72 historical infantry models: 50

- 1/72 WWII vehicles: 2

- 1/72 WWII guns: 2

- 1/35 WWII infantry: 6

- 75mm historical figurines: 1

- various scales terrain pieces: 21

This adds up to a total of 218 models, about half of what I managed last year. Compared to the production of the last few years if is a vary small number, but given the situation I guess it's still decent.

For other people I painted the following models:

- 28mm fantasy RPG infantry models: 69

- 28mm fantasy RPG large creatures: 10

- 28mm fantasy RPG small creatures: 4

- 28mm fantasy RPG mounted models: 3

- 28mm fantasy Warmachines/Hordes infantry models: 6

- 28mm historical infantry models: 42

- 28mm sci-fi/40K large models: 3

- 15mm WWII infantry stands: 6

- 15mm WWII guns: 30

- 15mm WWII tanks: 161 

- no scale Warhammer Man'O'War ships: 6

- 28mm fantasy historical Silver Bayonet infantry: 19

- 1/285 Battletech mechs: 12

This adds up to a total of 371 models, about 15 more than last year.

The grand total for 2025 is then 589 models, roughly 25% less than last year, overall an acceptable loss due to months of inactivity due to the move.

Let's see what 2026 will bring.

A very happy new year to all my readers and I'll see you in January with new posts of painted miniatures.

Cheers!
