For this week I pledge to get rested and be social offline. Check for completion at the time of writing. Coffee with a former coworker and tomorrow will be eating pho and drinking beer. Aside from that I will probably break down and order a quick release hose for my airbrush.

I’m courting the attention of an YouTube mini painter to give me the chance to build display bases for him for his channel and I hope that pans out. It would honestly be good to work to my strength and then signal boost the channel here.

I’d say that this is the project that I’ve been getting into long ago that really didn’t work as I have grand ideas of how to get it painted but my hands seem so clumsy when I put pigment on figures. The build portion is great for me as I can create the narrative and general frame for the figure. It also reinforces the idea that I can create something that can be looked at again later for assurance that I’m creative and have some talent. Its always a challenge to self doubt until you look back and see how much has been done. From there its just a challenge to keep going and be assured that there is more you can do. Now with digital sculpture there’s an increase to the question. I will do as much as I can with what I have for as long as possible. I’ll reach out here and there for interest and hope that something gets a bite.

As far as dealing with a project that I need to get done but have no desire to attend I’ll probably procrastinate and feel the urge to jump ship to something else. I’ll berate myself for not doing anything, get fed up with sitting on my ass and then, out of sheer frustration and desire to be done, work my ass off to be rid of it. Somewhere along the line that’s probably between the basecoat portion and adding finer details. Its when you see the piece has paint on it and has so much more potential to be great but just looks like a polished turd. Its not bad enough to be ashamed of it for tabletop quick play but not near what you’d want on your shelf to show off.

@rastamann I can say that I need to get a move on with my admiral ork from Black Scorpion. *spoiler* Its what I want to paint up and have as my avatar instead of the doodlebug that I currently use (though the doodlebug has grown on me just from having it a while). Regarding WoT I’d be lost to it with grinding away for xp. I’d be lost and not post anything here anymore. The PzKw IV is my love despite it being lower tier. The Easy8 is definitely kitted out to be a run and gun monster and can act as a pretty good scout.
