2012 hobby summary

It seems we've made it around the sun one more lap without the world ending, so I'll take a quick look at what I did during the past year. It seems like the year went quickly, but my early year blog posts seem ages ago.

For miniatures gaming and modelling I managed to complete and play the following:

The Gettysburg game for last year's Kinkkucon had me busy for the end of 2011 and the first days of new year.

Marauder Miniatures' fantasy giant for Warhammer.

A Chickamauga game. I don't think I painted anything up for this.

Some Battletech Quick-Strike. I should build a demo table for this at some point.

A goblin catapult for Warhammer.

ACW casualty markers.

ACW wagons.

ACW artillery limbers.

Some fences..

A river system.

The afternoon battle at Antietam.

And finally a model Titanic.

I also tested Hail Caesar and got some Baccus 6mm greeks, but I haven't done anything on them since.

This picture was the last time the sons of Athens have seen the light of day.

Apart from miniatures gaming I also got a fair bit of boardgaming done. I was especially happy witht he amount of Musket & Pike games I played.

During 2012 I also took up archery and oh.. had a son, so I think I got a lot done all things considered.

Ok, so what's in the pipeline for 2013? The first stuff will be for Kinkkucon, which is on.. friday this week. I'll try and have a small demo table for 1/72 WW2 skirmish done. After that, who knows? I think I'll try and get those greeks painted this year, and I still have some ACW figures I should paint to complete my set. I also have a few dozen Germans and US paratroopers in 1/72. I think those will keep me happy for the first half of the year at least. Let's hope I don't see anything shiny that'll distract me to a new period!
