So January has come and gone. As mentioned earlier my friend and I tried to do a challenge where we had to paint at least 15 minutes every day. While my friend unfortunately had to drop it due to outside events, I actually managed to do it.
I did have one day where I couldn't paint because I was away on a small trip. Although I actually had taken some painting stuff with me, I had forgotten some things and so couldn't paint one day. I also had one day, where I only did a lot of priming, but I still accepted it as a good day.

In conclusion the challenge was very good and worthwhile. It did show that even 15-20 minutes of paint will provide some progress. And even more importantly it actually proved to be motivating in several ways. There were days where I initially thought I wouldn't paint more than the 15-20 minutes but then ended up spending even more time.

When my friend and I talked about the challenge we speculated on how much we would end up getting painted. In truth it was less than I imagined. But even so I will call this a great success.
I had planned to kind of continue the project, but extending what I could do in the 15-20 minutes to also include assembling miniatures or terrain, painting terrain or other relevant hobby activities. Unfortunately I have some issues with my shoulder at the moment, so this week all hobby work has stopped momentarily.
Here are the bases I have painted in the final weeks of January.
