Paint it or Punt it
Detolf or “The Motivation Box”
I painted up the Pelennor Fields box set last year and, though I’m not the best painter, I’m proud of how they turned out. Now they sit in a box in a cupboard and I haven’t seen them in months.
If I want to paint more, feeling motivated is obviously going to be hugely important. Part of that can come from posting here and playing games with painted armies but I honestly think that seeing my work and allowing myself the thoroughly unScottish emotion of pride in my own efforts will have the most influence.
I asked on the Toptable Gaming facebook group about display cabinets and got told that the standard is from Ikea. Fast forward a few weeks and here we go…
Nice little bit of wasted space in my bedroom to the left of the drawers is perfect
Not suitable for one person? Challenge accepted
Organised mainly to stop the cats stealing bits when my back is turned
Not the most sturdy of things but at IKEA prices I guess I can’t be too surprised
The primary thief watching on, waiting for the chance to steal a washer
Finished cabinet, around an hour laterNo models in it yet but I am happy with it so far. I was told that there are eBay sellers who carry more shelves but I think I’ll stick with the three for right now. The Motivation Box is also the only piece of furniture in the flat that is secured to the wall because there will be a cat on it within hours ?
Next up is not actually something that goes in the case but it is proper hobby.
