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 672 2nd November 2021. I've completed the base colours on my second set of Landsknecht pikes.
Day 673 3rd November 2021. Highlights done. Just weapons, armour and flesh left to do on my second set of Landsknecht pikes.
Day 674 4th November 2021. Nearly all done now. Just ran out of time tonight to do the flesh which will finish these off.
Day 675 5th November 2021. My Landsknecht pikes are done. Basing next then on to the gunners.
Day 676 6th November 2021. Last night we played the 5th instalment in our Beach Patrol ttrpg campaign run by Giro. Team building turned threatening but we overcame all obstacles to build the best team on the day. And we found some money. A lot of money.

Day 678 8th November 2021. The first set of my Landsknecht arquebusiers are ready for colouring.

Day 683 13th November 2021. I've started the second set of my Landsknecht arquebusiers.
Day 684 14th November 2021. I've blocked in the basic colours on half the second set of my Landsknecht arquebusiers, still deciding on a scheme for the rest.
Day 685 15th November 2021. I've blocked in all the basic colours on the second set of my Landsknecht arquebusiers, that's the tricky bit done.
Day 686 16th November 2021. I've started the highlights on the second set of my Landsknecht arquebusiers.
Day 687 17th November 2021. I've finished the highlights on the second set of my Landsknecht arquebusiers. Another two-for-one post today as I didn't upload yesterday. Painting was curtailed yesterday by a shitcake of a day.
Day 688 18th November 2021. Took a break from painting today to work on the next season of my cyberpunk ttrpg using the Wired Neon City rules.
Day 689 19th November 2021. Just the flesh and metallics to do on the second set of my Landsknecht arquebusiers.
Day 690 20th November 2021. Tonight we played the 6th instalment in our Beach Patrol ttrpg campaign run by Giro. Lots of people in trouble were helped and everything went very smoothly (I think).

Day 695 25th November 2021. Still very, very sick. No painting. Cleaned and assembled my gendarmes.
Day 696 26th November 2021. My symptoms have gone but I'm very tired so I've prepped the cavalry and called it a day. On a positive note, the miniatures in this photo (12 mounted, 12 foot) are all I need to paint to complete my Landsknechts.
Day 697 27th November 2021. I've started blocking in the base colours on the last of my Landsknecht infantry.
