What can I say except that I'm glad 2016 is over. It's been a busy 12 months and hobby time has been pretty slim. I did find the time to play 21 games in total, down a little from last year, including large events in California and Arizona, and some smaller ones in New Mexico and Texas. A new Flames of War venue in El Paso has helped establish a new gaming community of about a dozen players since last year, and its continuing to grow. Here's to a renewed sense of hobby purpose in 2017!
I didn't get much painted for myself in 2016, but I did get one commission finished and delivered and another is very close to completion (Sam, I'm almost there, promise.)

I made trips to Kublacon in California and Shifting Sands in Arizona, too.

Total progress for the year was pretty small, but I made my goal of not adding to my mountain of models. I purchased or won a total of eight Flames of War models and two 28mm Samurai miniatures, while painting ten Flames of War models for a +/- of zero!
Shifting Sands is in a few weeks and I'll be trying my hand at Team Yankee for the first time. Kublacon is in May and I plan on flying back for that, too. I might even convince the wife to let me go to one more Historicon as well. Happy hobbying everyone!
A light year, but that's okay - you've got so much stuff painted up already! ^_^
