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 One January 1st 2020. Painting my second batch of Landsknechts for my Swashbucklers project.
Day three 3rd January 2020 Landsknechts based.

Day six 6th January 2020 Started work on my Hovels churches.
Day seven 7th january 2020 The churches are done.
Day eight 8th january 2020 Church basing underway and some religious zealots undercoated. All these need to dry before I can continue, so only a short session today.
Day nine 9th January 2020 My two churches from Hovels are complete. They join my other medieval/fantasy buildings.
Day ten 10th january 2020 After a tiring and stressful week at work, Friday's hobby time results in only a couple of very quick things. Two glow-in-the-dark giant jellyfish and a 3D printed resin command chair for my Rebelstar project.
