Happy Friday.

My pledge is to paint more Core Space miniatures.

I’ve just finished painting the last six from the main box after getting painters block with some different sci+fi miniature. I also went out and got my first ten contrast paints. I’ve never used these until this week. My initial feeling is that it will help me block in colours faster and allow me to get onto the more fun (for me) highlights and final rendering.

When not doing any tiny fighting men related hobby what are you doing in your spare time?

I watch a fair bit of YouTube, play video games and read.

How do you feel when a different hobby “takes away” time from the miniature hobby?

Short term, I think it’s good to do something different for a change, if I go too long I start getting hobby guilt.

Hobbies to intersect to a degree with each other (example 3D printing and miniatures) but are considered hobbies of their own. Do you have any active hobbies that do not intersect with the main topic at hand?

I love to go for hikes in the countryside. Even then it reminds me of all the characters from fantasy novels that have gone on quests.
