Andrew at Crafts and Minis got me interested in #HobbyStreak last year when he began posting his videos and tweets about his daily progress in the hobby. The idea is that you do a little every day and record it on Twitter with the #HobbyStreak hashtag so that people can follow along and, together with everyone else who's doing the same, you can see some real progress as time passes.
This year I decided to give it a try. You can follow my daily updates on my Twitter feed and, from time to time I'll be updating this page with my progress as well.

Day 572 25th July 2021. And...we're off again. Lower temperatures and a lot of rain have made today a painting day again.
Day 573 26th July 2021. Builders fitting the double glazing prevented me getting to the painting table so instead, I cleared the decks and prepared for some wargaming.
|
|
Day 574 27th July 2021. The second (and final) day of the builders fitting the double glazing again prevented me getting to the painting table, so instead, I set up a Crossfire game. Tonks is planning something fiendish.
