Now in its third<\/a> year<\/a>, let’s take a look at my hobby work over the past year.<\/p>\n

Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I started the hobby year working through the\u00a0Malifaux Black Friday order and getting a few things ready for Adepticon. Then the queue got real. In 2015 I felt I had been a little too stingy at Adepticon. Let’s just say I didn’t have that problem this year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was out of town for the first part of the summer. When I returned I really focused on getting through that backlog. In late September when I knocked them all off, it was time for a major photo session. I managed to find space in the garage to leave the light box set up for a week or two so I could use all my hobby time actually taking pictures. While I was at it I figured I should reshoot some older models which didn’t have nice pictures taken. I had to limit the scope, so 40k and old random models didn’t make the cut.<\/p>\n

As the year came to and end the\u00a0backlog picked back up. Last year, this was due to the Wyrd Black Friday sale. I skipped the sale this year, but\u00a0still found plenty\u00a0to buy.<\/p>\n

I’ve been wanting a general gallery for years. 2016 is the year that I finally put it together<\/a>. It came with a revamp of the Spin-o-matic viewer which gives a lot more flexibility in how to lay out the spins. Since I don’t have nice photos for 40k, it hasn’t made it into the gallery. Maybe next year.<\/p>\n
