Thats my output for 2012. Totals are ~104 miniatures (counting 10mm bases as one miniature) and ~55 terrain elements (which vary in size from a 28mm scale book to 6×4′ terrain mats). It a little less than my output for 2011, but its still pretty good I think. I reckon that I could push productivity up a bit more if I really tried, but then it might become more of a chore than a pleasurable pastime. I suspect that future years will have about the same output, which really means that I should buy far, far fewer miniatures than I do currently.
My recurring late Summer-Autumn slump happened again this year. Keeping this blog has made it apparent to me that the slump seems to be a recurring seasonal thing, which is interesting. It also means that when it happens I now get a little less frustrated, as I expect it somewhat and have a rough idea of its frequency and duration. Monitoring output was one of the goals in my blog mission statement when I started it a few years ago so this sort of information is interesting and potentially helpful I think.
My rough plans for miniature related things for 2013 will go up here soon. Happy new year.

That’s impressive. Some of the professional painters crank out a lot of models, but they don’t hold down a day job or even game much. I like reading blogs by people who paint their own figs for their own evil purposes. Good work!

Hi muskie, thanks for the kind words.
I am far from being a pro painter and I do sometimes struggle to balance real life things with hobby stuff. I do definitely get a kick out of getting the productivity:quality ratio right though. Its an 80:20 thing for me. Getting the project (rather than individual elements) close to finished is paramount.
Thanks for the feedback and have a happy new year 🙂

That’s a really, really impressive tally for one year. Great job and looking forward to seeing more! Have a great new year too, and thanks for 2012!

Thanks Mikko. I think that the total is a little smaller than last years (although I cant remember where I recorded last years output right now so I cant check) but its still pretty healthy: one hobby thing produced every two and a bit days approximately is pretty decent turnover.
Fingers crossed that 2013 will be just as productive 🙂

Wow, very impressive! I’m struggling to get my annual total tallied up, but hopefully will have the opportunity today. Unfortunately I didn’t finish all the Doom Forgers for the new year… crap. Here’s to a healthy and productive 2013. My keyword for the new year is “backlog”, as in “finish stuff in the backlog”. I’ll be painting a few more wolves, finish up the Citadel plastic Fighting Fantasy ogre/giant, finish the five sea elves I started for the LPL.
Speaking of LPL… I’ll stay clear of that this year. Don’t have the time or energy to do it, need to focus on other things.

Thanks Mattias. Your LPL participation must have contributed at least about fifty figures to your total. Probably more I would think. Are you planning a 2012 in review post?
The LPL is a great thing to take part in and it appeals to me a bit every year, but I wont ever enter I suspect. I have enough deadlines imposed from within and without already. I dont need the extra pressure on what is supposed to be a relaxing pastime.
Good luck tackling the backlog Mattias. I need to stop typing and get stuck into some Dreadball stuff.

I didn’t submit new teams to all the rounds in the LPL, so unfortunately I didn’t do 50+ models for that. The plastic dwarfs really helped! So did the 13 added by commission.
I posted up my 2012 recap today, so have at it! =) Please don’t poke me too hard regarding the joints and score marks being bright white on my cardboard houses. 😉

See, I didnt mention the cardboard edges once 😉
Nice output for the year though Mattias, good work.
