Happy New Year! We’re starting 2026 with a look back at the best posts from December 2025. We had XXL reviews of hyped products like Vallejo True Metallic Metal paints, the new Cataphractii in the Siege Assault Battle Group, plus tips and many miniature showcases. December was also marked by the turn of the year, with Stahly and Dunk reflecting on their hobby year and sharing their resolutions for 2026.
Best of: Dunk’s recap of 2025 and hobby resolutions for 2026
As the year comes to an end, it’s nice to look back and reflect on the progress made. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed sharing my thoughts on the hobby here on Tale of Painters, along with the models I’ve completed throughout the year. Before I go any further, I’d like to raise a glass to my good friends Garfy and Stahly, who have been so positive and encouraging. I can’t thank you both enough for your friendship and guidance as I continue to develop as a painter. And another cheeky toast to all our readers who have been painting along with us. Cheers to you all!
