A Year in Review.

Now that the year 2012 has come to an end it is time for a look back.
It was a year with lots of ups and downs. The effects on my condition from the brain-surgery I had almost 2 years ago have worn almost completely of halfway the year and in June the MRI check up scan was very positive. On the downside I still have to take a lot of pills against my epilepsy. This has starting to taking its toll on my condition. It is making me feel tired. This plus the work I do makes that I am too tired to do much other things the rest of the day. It also have an influence on the time I spent on my blog and painting.

This year I also made the decision to no-longer set a minimum post number that I have to achieve on my blog in a week or moth or year. I only post something if I have something (important) to tell or to let my followers know when I have painted something new or maybe made a new army-file. If I have no desire to post something I simply don't post anything. Must say it takes some stress away. ;-)

About painting. I can't say that I did much painting in 2012. I painted 1 platoon for my Mid War DAK Kompanie. And I painted 6 platoons for my Escadron de Reconnaissance Compagnie. Besides that maybe 1 or 2 other models. As you can see it ain't much.

2012 was also the year that I had to rebuild all the army-files I made to the new Flames of War V3 rules. Some were pretty easy to rebuilt others weren't and took a lot of time from me but I felt it was my duty to rebuilt them so all who make use of these army-files could still use them with the new V3 rules.
If I remember correctly I also made 3 new army-files even after that I already stopped making army-files a long time ago.

My blog now have 130 followers, it has been visited almost 25500 times whith 47000 pageloads. Maybe I don't have as much followers as others have or maybe it isn't visited as much as other blogs, these numbers still makes proud.
I like to thank all my followers and readers of my blog for being here and staying here and, hopefully, enjoying all my writing and sharing of pictures of my painted models.

I like to wish everybody a great New Years eve!
Hope to see you all back in 2013.

Thanks for reading.

  1. Greetings, Brother Modeler-gamer. I enjoy your expression of the passion you have for modeling in your blog. To me, it doesn't make any difference as to how much or when you post: it is your work is what brings me back to enjoy your modeling. I hope 2013 is measured by as little stress as possible and by as much fun and productivity as your heart desires. LAter,

    Jay

  3. Glad to hear your feeling better. Good idea on winding back on blog posts, I did the same. It became too much like work.

    1. Each time I was looking at my blog I had something like "Oh look how few post I have posted. I must post more." Then I realized that posting in my blog shouldn't be a MUST but something to enjoy doing.
