Zink 29727 Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 Main goal is to just keep doing anything hobby related. Kind of stalled lately. Always lots of minis waiting and things I can do but sometimes lacking the mood and motivation. Wife's birthday is in a few weeks so considering doing either a diorama of the dwarf king's throne room (she loves dwarves) or a spring park scene using the victorian style Bones minis. I have most of what I'd need for either and could make the rest fairly easily. She already bought herself something that she considers my present but I still like to give something with a little more thought and personal effort. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty of yard and garden to take care of on the nice days, trying to fit painting in during the evenings when not too tired. Seem to be a number of critters on the paint table this month, dire crabs, a keketar, a bathalian, some orcs. Hoping Reaper gets those RVE leftovers up for sale soon. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWulfe 42199 Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 (edited) Main things on the docket for this month... - Get started on one of my resin conversion kits (still undecided between Zaku 1 Sniper and Gunner Zaku Warrior) - finish Queen of Hell - Get airbrush work on LAV-III finished - prime more terrain (and maybe get an initial coat of main colour up while I'm at it) - Get bases rolled for my assembled Infinity minis on my desk (so I can finally get them off my desk!) - start work on HaqqIslam Hassassin Bahram starter box. Well, the last four? minis from it that is. In essence, with how my workspace had changed, I'm looking at having one thing in the airbrush booth, one thing in a state of assembly, and one thing being actively painted by brush. Oh yeah, there's also the aspect of things that I plan on spending more time actually hobbying each day, with a goal of an average of one hour a day this month, although I'd love to hit two if my body will let me.

Rob Dean 15488 Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Well, I’d also be happy if I did something (rather than nothing). I have been sorting through my boxes of vintage 25mm Minifigs unlicensed Tolkien figures, both the unpainted ones and the painted ones, and thinking about getting back to building my orc/goblin force and cleaning and priming the next unit of Gondorians. I guess with my birthday last week (and the corresponding anniversary of my first D&D rules) I have been more motivated by nostalgia/vintage than other possibilities... 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoonglowMinis 3107 Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Going to try to keep it simple. Last few plans were too ambitious or too limiting. 12 minis. That's the goal. Pulled a few Rum & Bones minis for use in a D&D game. So going to break the ice of painting that huge collection of plastic. Also want to try out a new method for painting wood on a flat base. Maybe i'll tackle the two giant purple worms i've been meaning to paint up. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Third'd. I've done better than last year with painting by far, thanks to the RCL, though I have a love/hate relationship with it. I love that it gets me painting, love working with the people I do groups projects with; hate it in the sense that, when I have limited painting time, I focus on doing RCL stuff instead of working on some of the other projects I'd hoped to finish this year before I knew about the RCL. Just need to get better managing my time with all of it. At the end of the day, one painted mini is better than 20 unpainted ones. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Citrine 17900 Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 I hope to do better than the last 2 months. I did dig out mother Maashaf from the unassembled mini pile, put her together and started painting her. If I finish her, that is equivalent to at least 4 human sized minis. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Auberon 15751 Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 It seems my goal is the same as many here, to simply paint something. Which is not to say that I haven't been hobbying. It's just that my time has been taking up cleaning 3D prints and prepping figures rather than finishing anything. 7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Evilhalfling 24933 Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 (edited) Finish the two tiny GF9 figures for a friend RCL - all but one category Two headed troll Vampire Wyvern Elf Barbarian Set up for next canvas landscape painting. Sun rise this morning was just too pretty not to try and paint. Edited April 5 by Evilhalfling 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brianuk 4639 Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 I've had a set of vikings in my eye line for some time, purely historical minis, that id put on this thread about ten times... They are nearly done now. I'd had them primed with leather brown and then washed for some time and I was just able to go through and batch paint really easily. A wash, and a base treatment then they're done. I sort of want to crack the goblin pirates, and then paint and assemble some terrain for Stargrave, because these are cluttering up my eye line and I will be able to come up with some fun new projects. In particular, I really want to crack on with my bloodstone gnomes army and have the itch to try something historical or different scale. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
