I struggled to find first, time, and then, energy, for hobby stuff. On the occasions that I did find time, I ran into one of those situations where everything I went to do required me to do something else first.
However, by this afternoon I was finally able to sit down and pick the figures for four new bases of Gensd'armes and got a start on preparing the figures for assembly.
I also got a start on adding a standard bearer to the Rhinegrave's stand to promote him to Army Commander status.
There's nothing like a start for making progress! I'm hoping for rain on Saturday........
Yeah, just getting started can be a struggle sometimes, but once you do it can really get you going. Hoping for some rain here, too. While I try to get some stuff started. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your projects!
Thanks. I'm looking forward to a year of catch up and consolidation.
DeleteLately I've been doing a lot of painting....... at the top of a ladder with a four inch brush, which is not nearly as much fun as it sounds. You know things are desperate when we all start wishing for rain!
ReplyDeleteYeah done that. Plans call for me to do alot of it next year so I'd best make use of the respite.
DeleteYes, sometimes it takes awhile to get started on a model related project. I've some of my own Rules to write up on the Computer - delaying this until night time when it is too cold to sit in my shed and paint figures.
ReplyDeleteWe are all subject to the weather to some degree.
DeleteLovely figures which will look great in your games. I have been caught up too but in different ways. Left me with not too much energy or enthusiasm at times.
ReplyDeleteYou always seem to have so much on the go.
DeleteThanks Ross, another ridiculous old song is now lodged in my head for the day! Hope you get some quality painting time.
ReplyDeleteAlways happy to be of service :)
DeleteWet weather always helps with the hobby I've found .
ReplyDeleteBalance in all things. Bring it on!
DeleteI find a value in always having something primed ready to paint, so that when painting one batch stops, I don’t get that break that can drag on before the next batch gets even looked at.
ReplyDeleteMy main goal these days is to add as few figures as possible without completely giving up that side of the hobby.
DeleteAs you know... I always have several things on at a time, some of which have been ongoing for decades. It helps to keep the interest going which motivates you to find the energy... getting started is always the thing...
ReplyDeleteAlong with clearing a work space and fighting with glue!
DeleteYes, there is that... and finding the glue is sometimes a problem... and finding the right paint... and... er... I'm a bit messy really.
DeleteLooks like you might get your wish.
ReplyDeleteIf it doesn't I'll claim I'm avoiding the escaped murderer.
Delete"I ran into one of those situations where everything I went to do required me to do something else first"-- a nice summation of a familiar feeling we've all had. A bout of "painting weather" might be just the thing to get you past it.
ReplyDeleteWith what shall I fix it, Dear Liza?
