Sean's 2025 painting thread

[Sean Clark]

I'll start this thread a little late, but to record all of my 2025 painting.

These were technically painted last year but based today so I'll count them! They are the figures for the Train Wreckers Gamette. Germans, Gendarms and Resistance. Lovely figures as always.












I've posted my US Cavalry elsewhere, but here they are just minus the flock. I'll count them tomorrow and keep a running total going, adding on  figures I've already finished.

Hi Sean,
Well done and it's nice to see the train wreckers figures painted.

Best wishes,
Martin, from a village near Grimsby

This is a good initiative, Sean.  Well done, and keep it going!

I think that is Standard with most of us who knew him of course with a lot of others too !

Hopefully the use of the past tense is an error?

No Rob Royston, died a few years back, his life cut very short. Was a big part of any show, and game demonstrations, like Martin had a very authoritarian way that made you listen, but in a sweet way too;very good at running demo games, allowing Martin time to speak to customers!
Also responsible for the victory point bit in original AK 47, "if your name is Rob ! 1 point".
Hopefully that will reappear in AK47 PE.
Also represented in the Collectable Figures.

This is a nice idea Sean, and the painting is excellent.

I was putting some figures away the other day and realised I'm at around 98.56% capacity for storage.

How come, I thought to myself?

Well, when I sat down and counted, I have 57 different armies, factions, warbands, navies...whatever you wish to call them; all Peter Pig figures/models. They span every set of RFCM rules apart from The Company Rules.

The smallest is probably my veteran Australians for Vietnam. The largest I think is either my ACW Rebs or Union armies. The most armies for one rule set would be 8 for Squarebashing.

This doesn't include my gamette figures, figures from other manufacturers (mostly 28mm fantasy and sci fi) or indeed the buildings, trees, hills and assorted scenery bits.

This is why I'm close to capacity.

Though...I'm sure there's room in the loft still!

You dont have too many figures. Just too small a house!

Try selling something (maybe family members) to make more space.............simples.

Wise words, Derek, wise words!

I had the same problem Sean so I sold all my LOTR figure (about 1500) on line and a lot of GW stuff and other bits at Entoyment B&B

Then when I was moving boxes around for the Weymouth weekend found more stuff to sell (not PP)

Looking at the PP rule sets, I have 61 armies/ forces of various sizes.

Wife will have a big party and holiday when I go on to the never ending game,
Hopefully not for a few years yet
