* Never feel a sense of accomplishment. Always more work to be done. ):

* Nowadays, I’m painting miniatures to play a game (Ganesha Game’s “Sellswords and Spellslingers”), and, irksomely, prefer to use only one company’s miniatures for the either side. I’ll paint to some tabletop level the miniatures I’ll use for the next scenario, and leave room for more painting later if I do more gaming with the miniature. Usually towards the “end” of painting a miniature, I’ll be annoyed that the thing isn’t done painted yet — there’s always something to do that I missed, so it feels like what I *want* to do can’t be completed. Frex, I want to wash these miniatures, but keep finding a mold line that needs to be taken care of. Painting miniatures when I need them for a game keeps me from being concerned about how many miniatures I have unpainted, while still chiseling against that mountain of grey plastic, and using the miniatures as soon as they’re painted.

* Good luck with the plastic boxes! I also use tea boxes as containers to keep the mini’s from shaking about, then put them into a plastic box for storage.
