Happy New Year 2025 and hobby plans.

 Hello and Welcome Back, 

Happy New Year, I hope 2025 is a happy, healthy and prosperous year for you and yours. 

I didn't get a chance to do a hobby look back at 2024 yesterday. I did manage to get some good hobby in. Although my blogging has suffered somewhat thanks to many complications in my personal and work life limiting free time and brain space.

I even managed to play some games, of 5 Parsecs from home.

As its the beginning of the new year I think I should do the usual hobby plans. 

1. I plan to revaluate my minis collection. I plan to move figures into types rather than split down into unique factions. Hopefully it will help create more storage space. Of course some factions cannot be put into a broader group. 

2. Post Apocalyptic figures will get a paint refresh to give them more of right look. Patches/repaired clothes, scars, rust etc. Maybe if I can add extra items to them such as packs, pouches if possible. 

3. One of the harder parts of my hobby is keeping focus and actually look like I am making progress. So I am going to try and keep a record of what has been done in tally form. 

4. My terrain collection is to be reviewed and reworked. 

5. Due to the piles of unpainted figures and terrain, I will not be buying any new figures or models this year (apart from outstanding kickstarters I have backed). 

6. Press on with my 5 Parsecs campaign.

One thing that effected my blogging is that I found myself finishing lots of models at the same time, as I have been working on different things in parallel. So lots of things needed recording. Writing fluff can take a fair bit of time, being dyslexic I have to write stuff and return days or weeks later to edit it (or I simply don't see what needs to be edited and I write nonsense). So things get parked. I don't like the 'I painted these' approach as I like to tell stories with my figures. 

Hobby wise, I have lots of ideas and plans for both Post Apocalyptic and Sci Fi genres. Hopefully I can make 2025 a productive year. 

Thanks for reading

Take care out there, and Happy New Year.
