After tidying my workspace, it has become obvious that the unfinished jobs in the shed, things that I have either planned or only started, FAR outweigh the finished projects…
I guess that that is the nature of wargaming as a hobby. I often hear of the mountains of unpainted lead that people own, and aspire to paint, compared to their small hills of finished armies.
While I was moving things about I started a list of the items I found that were still in need of being finished. Some were quick jobs (supposedly quick, but that I had still not done them, proves I had never found the time). Things like the simple drybrushing of a couple of stone buildings to get them ready for the table. Things like a small boat that just needs a basic brown paint job and wash…
Other jobs were things I had done most of and never quite got round to finishing. Things like basing these knights properly. I even used them in a couple of games with unfinished bases, the shame of it…
Some things were easily sorted… Finding a home for things not needing anything finishing on them. Like these new fish tank shrines.
In the end I stopped writing the list as after it got to 2 sides of paper without covering everything I found, it began to look like a real mountain of work… Time for some positivity and quick wins. So, I decided to leave a couple of bits on the paint table and get them done before I tidied them away. Bases for knights – Tick.
New base for the old general – Easy…
Now, what else can I get done before I get side-tracked again?
