I am crazy: Watch me paint a mini a day in November

[SparrowMarie]

So. I've decided that this year instead of participating in National Novel Writing Month, which I have never successfully finished, I'm going to paint a mini a day. I've still got a ton of bones laying around from the Bones 2 kickstarter that I want to get done before Bones 3 gets to me. I also want to finish painting up what I have of Shadows of Brimstone before the rest of it gets here as well. If all else fails I plan to paint at least 30 unique minis by the end of the month.

 

I've laid out a calendar and some rules for myself.

 

Rules:

 

1.) Must be roughly human sized, 28-33 mm or larger (horizontally or vertically)

 

2.) 1 sculpt counts as 1 mini.

 

3.) Prep beforehand is totally permitted (washing, boiling, priming, gap filling, removing mold lines, etc)

 

4.) More than one model a day is great! But it doesn't count towards future days.

 

5.) 24 hours for one mini only

 

6.) Take pictures of time and date before and after finishing each mini. Must include mini in both pictures.

 

 

EDIT: This will be a very picture heavy thread.

 

EDIT 2: Here is where I will be putting my show off threads once I get around to making them.

Oooh, I like it. Not only will I be rooting for you, I think I want to try this.

 

I think I am going to go with easier rules, basically finish 30 minis by the end of the month.

[Pingo]

Ooh, very organized. Good luck!

[SparrowMarie]

Thank you both! I'm very excited. Today is being spent finding them all, organizing, and figuring out what prep I need to do and to what. Tomorrow prep begins!

Start scraping off those mold lines NOW!!!

[Talae]

There are some great choices in there! My favorite is that you are finishing up the challenge with Troll Slayer Sophie!

[Maglok]

Good luck!

[Glitterwolf]

AAARRROOOO!!!!!

 

*** Wolf Pack cheering you on!***

you should tape the mini to the calendar on its assigned day and pull it off to paint as you go.   Kinda like those event calendar at Christmas.

I actually have started. I knew it'd be pretty time consuming and I always miss one or two here and there.

Haha, I was joking with husband that he should make me an advent calendar full of minis for Christmas. I'm not sure if he was amused, lol.

[BadgersinMeadows]

A great idea!

[Froggy the Great]

This is very doable, and I encourage it.

A mini, mini cupboard with 31 doors? That would be pretty cool. Especially if you didn't know what was behind the doors... but then it's hard to prep them... and prepare paints for them.  But to open a door every day and get a new mini would be pretty cool!  Might need a couple of extra large doors to fall throughout the month too... Hmmm...

Oh well... I'm no woodworker... just a dreamer...

We did this for my son a couple years back, though I had already painted them.  He loved it!  We bought a cloth advent calendar for each kid with pockets and fill them ourselves each year.  

 

On topic of the monthly challenge, I think it's absolutely amazing!  I only manage 2-3 nights a week when I get to paint so would likely never get to do this but I will love watching you!  Good luck!

You never know what you are capable of until you've tried. The BEST OF LUCK with your challenge!
