We All Get a Little Bored Sometimes

It all started off with biting off more than I could chew with that damned Ork Wrecker. It is a
massive undertaking to convert an non 40k model to be usable in 40k. Perhaps I bit off more than I could chew and that is what lead to me stalling out. At first, work went swimmingly. The frame and cab assembled and converted nicely. When it came to converting a driver and gunner for the cab, things kinda stalled out. I did not and still have not found a way to insert a couple of Orks into the vehicle in a way that pleases me. So I would push off working on the Wrecker and work on other projects. Since I started the Wrecker, I have finished 25.5 minis. That's a lot of productive procrastination.

Now, I am out of side projects or small projects to paint and I do not want to go back to Wrecker. I am bored with painting. I sit at my desk for hours just looking at my minis an bits and thinking but brushes never touch anything. I have things I could paint. I have things that I should be painting but I do not have the drive. I have the mini painter's version of writer's block.

What follows is an article on some of the things that I do to break myself out of this sort of funk when it settles over me.

2012 and 2013 No Yearbooks

I have not made a yearbook post since the end of 2011. That is sad. The biggest reason is that I lost track of doing On The Table Now posts and Finished posts. Without those, I can't keep track of what I have done over the year. I am painting a lot more than I post about. I've just gotten lazy.

So, we're turning over a new leaf here at TMM Blog. I am not a big fan of New Year resolutions, but let's make some promises to ourselves and by the tears of Sanguinius let's keep them!

1. Take a picture of everything you finish and post it.

Regular Blogging on Hold

I know that posting has been down of late. I was engrossed in New Vegas for about a month and now I am painting up a storm. No time for posting except for that late night drunken rant about Whirlwinds and new models. Truth is, right now I would rather paint than anything else. Free time being limited, I put painting ahead of other aspects of the hobby like playing or blogging.

Project TMM CV is on hold as is posting about new minis. I am going to have a lot to catch up on as I still have not done my Year Book post from 2012 and 2013 is almost over! I have been a bad bad blogger.

Long time no post

No posts in over a month? Not cool! I am going to try to get a legit post up at least once per week in addition to pics of what I am working on. I have been painting up a storm and just nee dot take pics and a few min to post.
