As mentioned in some previous blog posts, I have been making slow progress on a self imposed challenge to get all of my bits spent through conversions, scratch built and other methods that can add additional miniatures to my army while spending all the spare stuff that I already have lying around.
For a matter of simplicity, whenever I mention Converted in my graphs or tracking I am referring to conversions and scratch built miniatures or at least miniatures that were built beyond box numbers.

The following graph shows an overview of my current hobby status:

Most of my recent progress in terms of spending bits has been through the conversion of infantry models (infantry includes characters on foot), with my current focus being on spending every last bit of my einherjar boxes from wargames atlantic (you might have seen them in an earlier post related with the Dwarves that count as imperial guard).

I have been making around 5 models per evening using silicon moulds to produce the necessary bodies, as well as some equipment like shields, weapons and other stuff I need in larger numbers, which means I have been assembling around 150 infantry models per month.

Originally I bought 5 boxes of einherjar to make 120 dwarves as guard equivalents and at the moment I have made 280 extra models (currently spending the bits of the fourth box), with the forecast being a total of 400 extra models once I finish spending the bits of the fifth box. That would mean that with the parts from the original 5 boxes I would be able to get a total of 520 models

Assuming my forecasts are correct, 24 additional evenings and I should spend the last bits of the full 5 boxes.

Once I finish the einherjar boxes, I have quite a few more boxes of other kits to spend, so I am not running out of bits anytime soon.

My expectation is that the Converted infantry (orange in the first graph) will at least equal the number of Bought infantry (blue in the first graph), although I suspect it might even go much higher as I progress through the boxes.

Not sure when I will finish everything as part of this challenge, especially since things might get added to the backlog from time to time, although I have contained myself to avoid having too many additions that derail things by adding too many spare parts (I went a bit crazy on wargames atlantic 5 boxes deals before Brexit so those are the kits that represent most of the spare bits here).
