What is PaintSlam?
Put simply, PaintSlam is a hobby log which you can print out or put onto your smart device or computer to keep track of what you’ve painted over the course of the year!
It’s no pressure and just for fun! There’s a space on the sheet to mark down any hobby goals you have for the year, and you can keep tracking of the running total on miniatures you’ve worked on throughout the year. You might surprise yourself with just how much you can do in a year! Or perhaps set yourself a hobby challenge to paint, say, 100 miniatures before the end of 2025.
See how joining in can help you with your hobby-
- Inspiration
- Motivation
- Painting advice
- Tips and techniques learned from other hobbyists
- Set your own goals
- See how much you paint in a year!
I’d love to have you on board in 2025!
