Noshers 2014 Painting Table Workload

[FierceKitty]

If you do a demanding job and also have a life outside of wargaming something has to give. Wargaming is a hobby after all and only there to fill in the chinks of one's life when one would otherwise be bored witless. Just take it as it comes. There are no prizes for getting it done quickly.

Wise words, but who can remember them when there are figures to be painted?

I find that I very much want to have them all painted very quickly indeed and have to give myself a good slapping to remind myself that I also want them to look as good as my shaky skills will allow. Plus I tend to have several projects on the go at once.....I'm assured by friends (as I only returned to wargaming about three years ago) that this is par for the course....

It's always a toss up between gettin anything done and arguing myself into a corner about gettin started in case I mess something up! Good luck Nosher - that's a fair crack of stuff to do :S

Nine month painting drought ended today.

Finished a 36 figure unit of French Napoleonic Infantry. Think I'll paint another unit in May 2015!!

Sadly the pic is on my phone and I'm such a spanner I cant get it to upload...

Tease !!

Good to hear the drought is abating Nosher!

If it's anything like my wife's phone they probably don't make the miniature USB plug that goes in the socket any more. Don't you just love technology?

[toxicpixie]

I email phone photo's to myself so I can then tweak them for size and upload from my proper machine!

Two more 36 figure battalions started today.

Trying to paint when the mood takes me as opposed to thinking 'Iv'e got to get this lot on the table ASP'

Unfortunately I have a deadline to meet.

As I solo most of the time I usually have a think the previous year about what I fancy doing in the following year; by the middle of the year this gets whittled down to what I would like to do. By the end of the year it's more of a case of 'try finishing the stuff from last year before you do anything else'. Of course I never listen and get some new stuff...to add to the growing pile. My current thing is 'The Mongol Project' which fortunately involves several inter-related armies so I am getting a fair bit of variation in what I paint even if it is all in the same scale -10mm. At the moment I am painting Song Chinese with Khwarizmains, Polish and more Mongols to do if I get fed up.

I fancy WWI in the east, 7YW Prussians v Russians, Saxons or French (undecided yet), both in 10mm or 6mm WWII Invasion of England 1944 (What If?) and 6mm Colonial Zulu's.

Plus I need to get writing done in between all this painting. 

[FierceKitty]

I've done both 6mm and 10mm Zulus. The bigger ones look far better, to my mind.

Got the main colours on the Prussians yesterday - 21/2 hours over three sessions, so should finish them today. Very fired up at the speed it took for a reasonable result, but very keen to finish them off with magic wash to see how it works.
