For the past couple of weeks I've gotten myself into the trap of trying to finish alot of projects all at once. Specifically I've been painting my 16 man boyz squad and the vehicle crews for 6 trukks all at once. In addition to being tedious as all heck... it's been dull. Paint 30 Orks boots brown Go! Paint 30 Orks pants tan Go!
After a while I started to listen to my own advice and took a break. Now I force myself to do dull paint work on 4 Orks, then I paint something fun! It's been making it go alot faster, feels more like I'm making progress. And you know what? It works.
All those boyz are now almost done and I've got alot of other projects that I've been working on that are almost done too!
51 days till Astronomi-con and I have 628/1500 points painted, and another 650 points on my painting desk 75% done so all in all I'm in good shape.
Just gotta keep grinding away.
Battlewagon has some color on it. Quite a bit more work to do but right now I'm concentrating on other projects. I'm going to try to get the interior detail and the krew installed next.
One night last week I just couldn't build up the will to sit down and paint. The tedium of painting 30 boyz at once had gotten to me. But as always I felt bad that I wasn't getting anything accomplished. So after a bit of sulking I pulled my Meganobz out of the case figuring I'd just touch them up. An hour later I had completely replaced the red paint with blue (to match my new army scheme) and fixed alot of the paint mistakes.
I even repainted there faces because I never liked how the dark green faces turned out.
Not my best work, but not bad for an hour.
My Wartrakks have been a thorn in my side for months. In other words I've been staring at them wanting to get them done but I've been to distracted on my other scratch builds. That ended this week when I finally finished the krews (with great difficulty I might add) and added a blob of paint.
They still need some work, but they are close.
I've got another 2 on the go, a couple hours worth of work and they'll be almost ready to go as well.
And then there's this monstrosity. I call it 'Havork'.
Will be getting this one together over the next few weeks.
