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 twenty-two 1st May 2020 Nine of the twelve miniatures in this set are complete. The remaining ones, the three demons, will carry over to the next set. I need to decide on a wing colour for them.
Day a hundred and twenty-three 2nd May 2020 I spent most of today writing the adventure for this evening's game of In Darkest Warrens but I did manage to start basing the finished figures and prep the next batch.
Day a hundred and twenty-four 3rd May 2020 Still under the weather. I based everything painted to date and called it a day.
Day a hundred and twenty-five 4th May 2020 My latest painting update video.
Day one hundred and twenty-nine 8th May 2020 The wraiths are done.
Day one hundred and thirty-one 10th May 2020 Everything is based.
Day one hundred and thirty-two 11th May 2020 This week's painting update. All the materials; Plastic, resin, metal, Bones plastic and 3D printed resin all bundled together in a single week's painting.
Day a hundred and thirty-three 12th May 2020 Progress is being made on the current batch of six miniatures and I've prepped the next two batches in readiness.
Day a hundred and thirty-four 13th May 2020 I've finished the small miniatures in the current batch, just the two big ones to go. I spent a lot of time today planning and costing out a new wargaming project, a North West Frontier adventure.
Day a hundred and thirty-five 14th May 2020 The current set of miniatures is complete and I've started the basing. On to new stuff tomorrow!
Day a hundred and thirty-six 15th May 2020 Everything is based. I've decided to rescue an old resin Fantasy Forge (now Scotia Grendel) giant by repainting his flesh, I'm happy to leave the rest of him in my old black-lined, high contrast style but his flesh is too pale. He'll be rebased as well, of course.
Day a hundred and thirty-nine 18th May 2020 Everything is based except the giant who needs more drying time before his base gets painted.
Day a hundred and forty 19th May 2020 My latest painting update video.
Day a hundred and forty-one 20th May 2020 I've started blocking in the base colours on the new set of miniatures, some more Black Scorpion resin. Also, I've prepped the next set, some Foundry swashbucklers. The Fenris angel will be slotted in where appropriate.
Day a hundred and forty-two 21st May 2020 Good progress on the Black Scorpion miniatures today.
Day a hundred and forty-three 22nd May 2020 The Black Scorpion miniatures are done and I've started on their bases.
Day a hundred and forty-five 24th May 2020 I've blocked in the base colours on my Foundry Elizabethans. I've started them off as one big group of 12 but I might split them as I get nearer to finishing.
Day a hundred and forty-seven 26th May 2020 The Foundry Elizabethans are complete.
Day a hundred and forty-eight 27th May 2020 I've based the Elizabethans (better pics to follow shortly) and I've prepped some Chaos stuff from Fenris Games.

Day a hundred and fifty-one 30th May 2020 We played our last session of In Darkest Warrens over Skype tonight. Everything ended on a high note as the barbarian rode his owlbear into battle against a cloud giant to win a cloud castle. Painting proceeded on the Indian civilians and Thuggees too.
