An insane Project Log.

[supervike]

I have come to terms with the fact that I will never, ever be able to paint all the miniatures I have collected (hoarded) over the years.

I have oodles and oodles....most of them still in the packaging they came in....

SO, to that end, I think my goal instead will be simply to construct, base and Prime all my miniatures.

Maybe occasionally I\'ll paint one or two, but my goal is to just put them together. That doesn\'t sound so bad, does it?

I\'m old, slow, and get easily distract....................................................................................................................................................ed

So, to keep me on the straight and narrow, I was hoping to use the power of peer pressure to keep up with this feat.

It\'s no small undertaking.

It begins, now.

Post pics of your first block you lazy Bastard!

Idea! If you\'re serious, let\'s gamble on the outcome. You bet unpainted mini\'s vs. a stack of comic books I\'ve got kind of a deal. Interested?

 

[supervike]

I heard gambling could make me go blind, and grow hair on my palms....

 

[Donga]

Yeah!

Get on with it!

If your desk isn\'t covered with things waiting for glue to dry, then you don\'t have time to chat and post on here, so cut/file/glue something up.

Might want to find a box to put things in after you get them prepped for priming.

Or you could cheat...prime everything on the sprues, and then just touch up the basecoat after assembly.

Also easier to see if you have mold lines left, cause when you remove the mold lines, you also remove the primer coat of paint and know when they are flush when you remove paint next to it that isn\'t form a mold line.

This is the kind of thing I am nowhere near brave enough to attempt. I\'d have hundreds and hundreds of models to build, and that\'s just Space Marines... then there\'s all the other armies I\'ve amassed over the years Is it possible (or if yes, then wise) to list what your pile is made up of?

Currently tho I am enjoying working on a classic Dwarf army... so far the only assembly has been gluing models onto bases and sticking plastic shields onto some of them My kind of assembly!

Okay, happy to oblige... have you started yet?

I bet that as you prep, assemble and prime minis you\'ll get inspired to put paint on some of them as well. When you do, go for it! You can always get back to the major task later.

Now, show us some pictures, you lazy, procrastinating, easily distracted sod! :beer:

 

[mickc22]

have you taken any pics yet? come on, come on

enough pressure> Too much?

 

[.sam.]

if you get bored of building minis you could always sell them



or give them to the lovly peeps on cmon

Who knows, might even get you painting more

 

[supervike]

Sorry sorry!

I couldn\'t find my camera!

My first batch...

[/img]

Roughly....what is in this hodge podge boxes...

SPUGs. yeah, Space Bugs, I\'m not sure what I was thinking.

COBALT....Bob Naismiths\' coolio Space Marine-ish stuff

An Ultralord Treeman....yeah, he\'s really in there.

More SPUGS...totally unsure what I was thinking...

A few Infinity Witch Soldiers...

Not pictured, but I\'ve began assembly, are some Wyrd miniatures!! Loverly!

 

[ScottRadom]

I challenge you to paint just ONE of the mini\'s. You can do it!

 

[Avelorn]

We\'ll make a switch. You paint one for me and I paint one for you!

 

[squig hunter]

You should take him up on that vikey, hehe. I am trying something similar, essentially trying to make a sizable dent in my lead mountain, to make room for more of course, but that\'s besides the point lol

Good luck!

Ain\'t we all, Ain\'t we all.

Though for some of us the lead may be LEAD and not pewter/white metal
