Title: Hardest part of the hobby -prioritising!
Post by: Squirrel on 11 March 2011, 09:36:10 PM
Oh dear, here we go again ...... here I am, proud owner of the Dungeon (and expansion) - got it primed, given it a wash colour, and first dry brush done, also finished 40 odd skeletons, and part painted a fair number of assorted goblins, hobgoblins, dungeon furniture etc .......

And what happens, my initial order of VBCW stuff arrives! Ooo ........ shiney new toys :D (Thanks Leon/Dave and crew)

My first venture into more modern era 10mm stuff, and I'm loving it! I want to start painting them now ...... but NO! I must resist, and complete the Dungeon stuff first, I must prioritise! ....... mustn't I?

Of course just to make things worse, I'm already planning more things to get for the dungeon, reinforcements for the VBCW (including the corvette)........ luckily I can't afford another order till payday - but that's only a couple of weeks away!

I'm also starting to plan another 10mm project =) Best save that for another thread though :P


Cheers,

Kev

It is tricky...I often keep a to-do list which I update regularly...just to try to keep focused; I even put it online in the hope that it might help!

That's always the killer...Work: the curse of the gaming classes.

Surely the great part of having more than one period on the go is that if you get bored slapping Prussian blue on the nineteenth century hordes you can switch to the rainbow colours of the renaissance as a change of pace?  I have to work to reduce the east-Herts figure-mountain.
