Hobby Spending - December 2024.

 

And just like that, 2024 is over.

With a last month of hobby purchases to stack up for this year, we'll get right on it:

Here are 20 small flight bases and 3 large flight bases for a mixed project of Battlefleet Gothic and some aircraft for Legions Imperialis.

80 25mm based and 4 80mm bases bought from the seller BBVelo on eBay. It was cheaper to buy them in bulk, especially as i needed the 80mm bases.

BBVelo also included this base size guide, from 25mm to 50mm in round and square types, as a freebie.

All the stuff from them are 3D printed and this was included in the box, it seems like a useful tool which I'm going to use to work out bases for things, especially prone models, of which I have a few now.

Searching the 3D printing sites, I found this awesome looking Commissar, and the bonus was that he was free!

So a quick download and I then threw him into Chitubox to have a look and I was impressed.

So much so, that I went back and decided to drop some cash on the Death Riders STL, again throwing these into Chitubox, I was impressed, so printed out a unit of 10 to go with the Commissar.

Lastly, as it's the winter sale on MyMiniFactory, I decided to spend a bit of cash on some terrain STLs to print off some scatter for both Fantasy and Sci-Fi.

I've only grabbed a couple of photos of the Sci-Fi bits as there were 15 different sets of terrain I downloaded for £36 after the discount was added, so definitely worth it.

These will be used to make an ammo dump for a scenario objective, as well as I'll print some out to add to other pieces of terrain and use as scatter.

The fantasy set included things like wheat bags, barrels, fence and barricades, light posts, etc.

So plenty to work with for each game.

Onto the final numbers for the year!

Purchases:

Small Flight Bases: £13.

Large Flight Bases: £3.25.

80 25mm Bases: £16.80.

4 80mm Bases: £7.60.

RedMakers Death Riders STL: £10.30.

RedMakers Mounted Commissar STL: £0.00.

Terrain STLs: £36.

Total for December: £.76.95.

Budget for December: £50.

Over/Under Yearly Budget: under budget by £85.40.

Still well under budget for the year,.and now that I've more or less switched to just using 3D printed models for my armies (aside from the stuff I already own) I'll be spending more on STLs in the future it seems.

Next year, 2025, I plan on working a project at a time through to completion.for myself, whilst still chipping away at the big projects I'm painting for Fraser, so I expect a lot of my future purchases to be hobby equipment related.

Until next time, have nice day...
