July's Hobby Progress

Hello and Welcome back, 

Time for my hobby Progress update for July. 

July turned out to be another a busy month in the real world. Family birthdays, builders and DIY has eaten the month up. Like last month, it has left little time to get some Blog posts up. There is another pile of figures waiting for pictures and writing up. Unfortunately the DIY list is long so I suspect it might also keep busy for most of August. 

The Forlone Hope figures arrived and I leapt into converting them into Rusters. Speaking of Rusters I managed to get them painted up. I also painted three Ramshackle figures. As usual better pictures to follow once I catch up with the blog.

I started to build a Expedition Crawler for @billmakingstuff's transport challenge. The aim for this build is to use as much stuff from the recycling for it as possible. There is quite a way to go with it, but it is going forward. 



Figures finished* = 0 (total 7) *Figures that needed bases finishing from 2024

Figures painted = 13 (total so far 83)

Figures reworked = 0 (total so far 6)

Vehicles finished = 0

Vehicles reworked = 0


Figures bought/arrived = 13 (total so far 59)

Vehicles bought = 0

I am still waiting on the Heresy order. In addtion to the Barbarians and Amazon from Forlone Hope I also ordered 10 metal figures inspired by the drawings in the old 40K book by BMT3D. These are usually limited runs so are worth collecting. 


That's all for now.

Thanks for reading and take care out there.
