2006 balance:

-best miniature on market? Well, too many to name, but I wouldn't mind being given the Forgeworld Great Unclean One (and, knowing my speed, I'd probably never paint it)
-most enjoyable paint work? Well, I think the Fenryll Ogre/troll (because I still remember it) especially the metallics - I painted so few minis that I enjoyed the very fact of painting
-the nightmare paint work? most minis because of the looong time I needed to get them painted. The slowest paintjob must also be the fenryll Ogre/troll
-goals achieved? meeting some nice people from the community in person
-goals missed? winning a GD dominating the world? painting more minis than I actually did? yeah, definitely the last one!
