Happy New Year! Conclusion of 2024

Added 2024-12-31 15:53:14 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone!

Finally a New Year post to tell the 2024 goodbye.

From a pov of me as a person behind of this Patreon - this was a good year!

1. I've been active for whole 12 months (yaaay!) thanks to not getting sick!

2. I've introduced Loyalty rewards! I really hope you liked them and pretty sure, there will be much more "extra" good stuff i can give you.

3. I've made some sets i really love myself (First Chechen war line, NAWE Octopods, Marksmen, EE Deniables)

4. Last but probably the most important - thanks to your support, i am able to pay my bills, buy groceries and better control the levels of stress, which directly affects previous three points.

Outside of Patreon i have launched my first ever campaign on MyMiniFactory. It was a precious experience and the support given to me will be used as a self-investment to improve my health.

Spoiler: i want to launch a new Somalia campaign (with new minis, featuring D-boys in the core set) mid-next year and hope it will be more interesting to you.

Did something go not as good as i hoped it would? Yeah for sure, but life is not a bed of roses after all. Most of the challenges i have faced weren't dire or critical, they were more about me making a bad decisions, which is alright.

Overall i feel much better than half a year ago and, while i can't look in the future with a feel of security (probably not a lot of people can these days), i still hold to my wishes and is full of ideas (seriously, there are SO MANY ideas in sculpting, that i want to bring to life).

May the 2025 bring your good plans and ideas to live!

And we'll tak' a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
