2015 Painting Production:

Being a summary of the output from ye Painting Desk for the Year of Our Lord 2015. 

For many years, I have used index cards for my painting "palettes". I use both sides, and keep using the same cards over and over, so the paint gets pretty thick on them - the one on the left goes back to the 1970's, and is almost an inch thick in some areas!

I can't compete with my friend  Jon's amazing graphs. pie charts, and the like. However, being much narrower in my projects, especially where it comes to scale, I have much less need to do so as well! Anyway. here's the output for the year:

Not surprisingly, the somewhat late decision to do Ligny at Historicon meant the Prussians dominated the painting output, and it was an exclusively Napoleonic (and, as almost always, exclusively 28mm scale) year. Accordingly, 2015 brought my total of painted troops for the Napoleonic Wars over 6,500 figures.

All the above totals 3,160. If I add in 0.5 points per marker (same as a 6 mm infantry figure), 10 per bridge, and 30 per Windmill that would take the Grand Total to 3,320 painting points - a very good year!

I used this scoring for "Painting Points":

6mm foot figure = 0.5 point
6mm mounted figure, artillery piece or crew served weapon = 1 point
6mm vehicle = 2 points

10mm foot figure = 1 point
10mm mounted figure, artillery piece or crew served weapon = 2 points
10mm vehicle = 3 points 

15mm foot figure = 2 points
15mm mounted figure, artillery piece or crew served weapon = 4 points
15mm vehicle = 6 points

20mm foot figure = 4 points
20mm mounted figure, artillery piece or crew served weapon = 8 points
20mm vehicle = 12 points

28mm foot figure = 5 points
28mm mounted figure, artillery piece or crew served weapon = 10 points
28mm vehicle = 15 points

40mm foot figure = 7 points
40mm mounted figure, artillery piece or crew served weapon = 15 points
40mm vehicle = 20 points 

54mm foot figure = 10 points
54mm mounted figures, artillery piece or crew served weapon = 20 points
54mm vehicle, limber, etc. = 30 points
