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.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.

Day three hundred and thirty-nine 4th December 2020 I'm still waiting for my WWII Germans to be delivered (and some pillboxes, and some sandbags...) so I didn't want to launch into anything big. I base coated these two (who are actually very big) and wrote a load of stuff for my current ttrpg campaign.
Day three hundred and forty 5th December 2020 Today we played the second instalment of our on-going cyberpunk ttrpg using Wired Neon Cities. Our operatives broke into an illegal cyborg factory and rescued some innocents. Later they made lots of money and a few enemies selling the information they got.

Day three hundred and forty-one 6th December 2020 My Crusader Germans are ready for colouring.
|
|
Day three hundred and forty-two 7th December 2020 I've put the base colours on my Crusader Germans.
|
|
Day three hundred and forty-three 8th December 2020 I've done the blacks my Crusader Germans. That's the tedious stuff out of the way, next comes the highlighting and detailing. And, for a change of pace, I based some bushes.
|
|
Day three hundred and forty-four 9th December 2020 Good progress with my Crusader Germans, just the final highlights on the flesh, weapons and equipment to do before I put in the webbing straps.
|
|
Day three hundred and forty-five 10th December 2020 I've finished the first lot of Crusader Germans.
Day three hundred and forty-six 11th December 2020 I've based my Crusader Germans. Next up, the last lot of British.
Day three hundred and forty-seven 12th December 2020 Today we played the third instalment of our on-going cyberpunk ttrpg using Wired Neon Cities. Our operatives investigated a mysterious old people's karaoke bar and uncovered a fiendish plot.

Day three hundred and forty-eight 13th December 2020 The final lot of British infantry are ready for colouring.
|
|
Day three hundred and forty-nine 14th December 2020 The base colours on the British infantry are complete.
|
|
Day three hundred and fifty 15th December 2020 The highlights on the British infantry are complete, just the flesh and guns to go.
|
|
|
Day three hundred and fifty one 16th December 2020 My British infantry are complete. Unfortunately, I've run out of bases so not all of them can be based tomorrow. Emergency order placed with Warbases!!
|
|
Day three hundred and fifty two 17th December 2020 I've based the British that I was able to. The two Boyes anti-tank gunner squads missed out but will be first in line when the new bases arrive. Apart from a two pounder gun that's been ordered this completes my British force for Crossfire.
Day three hundred and fifty three 18th December 2020 The second (and final) lot of Germans are ready for colouring.

Day three hundred and fifty four 19th December 2020 Tonight we played the 4th instalment of our cyberpunk ttrpg using Wired Neon Cities. A villainous nemesis arose to torment our struggling heroes who were busy raiding corporate headquarters and hanging out in love hotels.
|
|
Day three hundred and fifty five 20th December 2020 Cracking on with my WWII Germans.
|
|
Day three hundred and fifty six 21st December 2020 My WWII Germans are finished and, because Warbases are brilliant and super speedy, I can base them as well.
|
|
Day three hundred and fifty seven 22nd December 2020 My WWII Germans are based. Photos of everything to follow.
Day three hundred and fifty eight 23rd December 2020 Today I painted some sandbags and assembled the guns from Warlord Games. It would be nice if metal kits came with instructions, wouldn't it? Oh well, I've managed thus far I suppose.
|
|
Day three hundred and fifty nine 24th December 2020 Today I assembled and painted a Sarissa Precision pillbox.
Day three hundred and sixty 25th December 2020 Moving forward with the guns and crews.
Day three hundred and sixty one 26th December 2020 Tonight we played the 5th instalment of our ongoing cyberpunk ttrpg using Wired Neon Cities. Much was achieved as jobs came thick and fast for our operatives. The night culminated with the killing of Ringo Chrome the notorious cyber terrorist.

Day three hundred and sixty two 27th December 2020 I've finished painting, and basing (woot!), the two guns for my Crossfire forces.
|

Day three hundred and sixty three 28th December 2020 My last painting update for 2020.
Day three hundred and sixty four 29th December 2020 These Mexicans have been sitting on my painting desk for so long they were undercoated in black which I stopped doing years ago, They're for my Plains War project and it's time they were finished so I've re-prepped them.
Day three hundred and sixty five 30th December 2020 The Mexicans are done. I bought these in 2016 and they've been sitting, undercoated since then on my painting table. They will be added to their 9 friends and all the horses that I painted 4 years ago and everything can be based tomorrow.
Day three hundred and sixty six 31st December 2020 My mounted Mexicans are finished and based after a 4+ year wait. A nice way to end 2020 hobbying.
HobbyStreak extra. Thanks to this hashtag I've painted a total of 738 28mm (or larger) miniatures. This total is made up of everything I bought this year and over 150 items from the lead pile. In addition, I rebased hundreds of old miniatures. A good result!
