Hello boys and girls and welcome to Let's Get Motivated - August 2025 This thread is to get us motivated each month into finishing projects that we have on the go, the rules are fairly simple. At the start of the month post what you intend to try and finish this month, it can be models/terrain/conversions of any game type. No pressure if you don't finish anything this is for motivation nothing else. Around the middle of the month post your progress, no images please, if you have want to share your progress with images, upload them into your blog and supply a link. Around the end of the month post your progress, again no images, if you have finished a piece upload the images into your blog and supply a link. The reason I don't want images in this thread is too get everyone that takes part views in their personal blog where the community can critique, etc. You don't have a paint blog? well get one started in this forum section. If you need advice etc. post here and the community will try and answer. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone share their progress Grrr, !mrahil
This month, I should continue with all those stuff I have unfinished. -preshade all the Quar -paint at least 10 Quar -paint Quar tractor -finish M3 Stuart and M3 Halftrack -paint 12 mordor orcs -continue on Taunar (finish at least one part to get the feeling about process) -paint at least 6 Trench Crusade models -paint crisis suit unit (without weapons)
I have finished getting my ~5000pts Lizardmen army battle-ready for TOW. I now aim to go back over all the 5-6th edition models I painted 23 years ago, and update them to parade-ready levels. I’d also like to decorate the bases of the models in this army (because who wants to look at an entire army standing on plain black bases?) Once all this is done, I’d like to carry on kitbashing my Space Lizard T’au Army, get them table ready and start learning 40K

Nope, my wife cannot afford to leave for a long period because of her mother's health, so we'll do just some daily trips. Which is a thing i like, btw.
Day trips can be a lot of fun and you get the benefit of sleeping in your own bed. What kind of day trips do you have planned?

The bridge by itself (a series of long bridges) took us a couple of hours; only my daughter climbed the ferrata... i used to, but actually i don't trust my right knee enough to do that kind of things again, as i would be in pain for the next week
The shirt story contest is going on. And my vote is in, still struggling on the reviews: First up is finishing my entry for the Short story-contest, as promised to some members Next one of the following goals: - paint a Kroxigor - paint 2 Golden units of the Rampart faction for HoMM3 the board game - paint 4 Uruk-hai warriors with crossbow - read, vote and review the short stories in the contest And what more there is time for Grrr, !mrahil
