W.A.Rorie Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 Well Yesterday took sometime to work on models and found out my thin Super glue bottle leaked all over my table sometime over the last week..... Not sure what has been damaged and what is salvageable. Need to get super glue debonder. Local LGS is doing a Slow Grow League HH 3.0 starting next month. So I think RG is my go too.... Have to High Command so new XIXth Legion Praetor was needed.

Shard of Magnus Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Great progress! Things seem on track to meet your deadline. Do you have a schedule in your head for progressing through the remaining stuff or is it more of blocking time to paint each day? Interested if there’s a trick I can borrow as I’m struggling to find motivation for my CtA pledge and I think part of that is that I don’t have a game/campaign deadline that I’m working toward.

W.A.Rorie Posted August 22 Author Share Posted August 22 Right now just trying to block out time to paint and balance family life as a (step) dad, which is still newish. I have a plan in my head and sometimes written down on forums. I do create Google spreadsheets to keep organized. The Slow Grow league I am in I get 1 point for a win,1 point for 3-4 paragraph short story/ battle report, and 1 point for painted models and it is 1 game a month. So that has been a great motivator. I honestly I have failed more CtAs than I have succeeded. Next year I think I'll just wear the badge of shame from the start . The 12 month Hobby Challenge is great motivator too. Some tricks I have been taught/ learned over the years: Use the 3 foot rule- Most of the time people will see your models at 3 feet. So save super detailing work to Characters/ Large models Batch paint colors- I batch paint models by color. I have 6 of the Old GW handles but use 5 for my squads and 1 for a Character. Don't over complicate your scheme No armor stays neat and shiny for long Find a paint brand/ type of paint you like and stick to it Nuln oil is a blessing but is also a crutch Paint in blocks Learn to do decals and practice Have a dedicated work space. I think I am starting version 4 of my hobby area. Use a wet pallet but be cautious. I live in a very dry hot climate. My Wet pallet dries out quickly. I have a Humidifer I run when I paint. Background noise. One of my first hobby areas had a tv above my desk. Unfortunately I could not see it while at the desk so it was a listen to a show on it. I use an Alexa device and work on models to music, pod casts, audible books. Right now it is the Crow Motion Picture Soundtrack GW Primer is expensive and does not color match. Try other brands 24 hour paint sessions are a thing, on youtube. If you are tired get some rest. Have good lighting Using cheap reading glasses to help paint does work. Maintain a Blog on here helps. Even if it is just me venting, I am still doing something in the hobby.
