Hello again,
Not a single post in over 3 months? What happened? Well, to be honest I just lost interest completely in the hobby for a while. All the painting got to be a bit of a chore, too may projects on the go at once and not enough of them getting me the kind of results I like. Big mistake: never have a desk full of incomplete projects, it’ll put you right off and eventually you’ll do what I did – sweep them all into a box and say ‘sod it’ for 3 months.
I recently went away on holiday though, and actually got some painting done. I think the trick was I set myself a small and achievable goal: one squad of marines and a commander. I didn’t quite finish it but at least it moved on a bit.
I’ve recently picked up the commander again and nearly finished it today, so I’ll post pictures of that up soon (just need to finish the base and varnish him). Maybe I’ll work on the squad next too – if I can just have the dicipline to set asside a little time each week and try to finish a squad each month, I think that would be enough.
Feeling (a little bit) inspired again…
p.s. Is it just me is is White Dwarf sucking even more these days (if that is even possible)? It’s just gone so down-hill since they changed editors recently – not that it was that good before (I miss the good old days of Rouge Trader, then it was a kick ass magazine).
