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 a hundred and fifty-three 1st June 2020 12 Thuggees and 17 Indian civilians, including the train crew, are complete.
Day a hundred and fifty-four 2nd June 2020 The Thuggees and Indian civilians are based.

Day a hundred and fifty-six 4th June 2020 Everything is based.
Day a hundred and fifty-seven 5th June 2020 This week's painting update. Indians.
Day a hundred and fifty-nine 7th June 2020 Good progress on the latest NWF miniatures, nearly done.
Day a hundred and sixty 8th June 2020 The current batch of NWF miniatures is complete.
Day a hundred and sixty-one 9th June 2020 The NWF miniatures have had their bases started and, because they used up the last of my basing compound, I made a new batch. As a change of pace, I've started prepping a set of Post-Apocalypse Prince August miniatures (some based on Rebel by Pepe Moreno).
Day a hundred and sixty-two 10th June 2020 Everything's based. NWF train passengers, Bond villains and the second Kali statue.
Day a hundred and sixty-three 11th June 2020 I've prepped my Future Shock miniatures ready for colouring.
Day a hundred and sixty-four 12th June 2020 I spent a lot of time today writing stuff for tomorrow's game of The Wasted Hack but I did get a short while to continue with my Future Shock miniatures. Many of them are based on characters from Pepe Moreno's Rebel, one of my favourite comics.
Day a hundred and sixty-seven 15th June 2020 Progress on the last of the Future Shock miniatures.
Day a hundred and sixty-eight 16th June 2020 5 more Future Shock miniatures done. 4 left to finish off and 2 new ones on the way from Prince August.
Day a hundred and sixty-nine 17th June 2020 The last four Future Shock miniatures are done and I've re-started my Fenris Cauldron Born because I wasn't happy with their progress.
Day a hundred and seventy 18th June 2020 Basing the Future Shock miniatures.
Day a hundred and seventy-one 19th June 2020 The Future Shock miniatures are based. I'm hoping to get some decent photos tomorrow and film a painting update but there's a problem accessing my games room at the moment so there might be a delay.
Day a hundred and seventy-two 20th June 2020 This week's painting update, Future Shock and NWF. 2020 Paint Log #20
Day a hundred and seventy-four 22nd June 2020 Good progress on the Fenris Cauldron Born.
Day a hundred and seventy-five 23rd June 2020 Nearly finished my Fenris Cauldron Born, another hour should see them done.
Day a hundred and seventy-six 24th June 2020 I've finished and based my Fenris Cauldron Born in an unparalleled burst of activity despite the heat.
Day a hundred and seventy-seven 25th June 2020 I've assembled and prepped the next batch of miniatures I'll be working on. Most of them are boutique resin miniatures from Heresy Lab and I'm not sure I'm going to get on with them, they're delicate, small, (expensive) and complicated.
Day a hundred and seventy-eight 26th June 2020 The arrival of a parcel from Perry Miniatures containing the rest of the figures for my North-West Frontier project meant I could put off starting the fragile resin miniatures from yesterday while I trimmed and assembled the new stuff.
Day a hundred and seventy-nine 27th June 2020 The third session of our Wasted Hack ttrpg saw the players expand their horizons. They found a new settlement to trade with and a giant ant colony to worry about. And they killed a dragon (allegedly).
Day a hundred and eighty 28th June 2020 I've prepped the thirty North-West Frontier infantry miniatures.
Day a hundred and eighty-one 29th June 2020 This week's painting update. Cauldron Born Miniatures from Fenris Games.
Day a hundred and eighty-two 30th June 2020 A bit of progress with my Indian infantry for my North-West Frontier project.
