    ...... @Imrahil this feels like some ploy to get me to commit to finishing projects.... I like it! Also, thanks for the shout out for my story :)

    So! My goals, rhat I shall try to stay focused on ... *giggles*

    1. Start and possibly finish a chapter/ prologue of a story I have begun ( https://www.lustria-online.com/threads/animosity-3-the-hathorians-prologue.25867/#post-373681 / https://www.lustria-online.com/thre...he-feathered-serpent.25725/page-2#post-373722 )

    2. finish my set of Wardens

    3. Start / Finish my Lumineth War Hippogryph conversion, begin painting by the end of the month.

    4. Learn to paint in my sleep

    5. Learn better focusing methods/better learn the discipline of finishing projects before my brain sees something new thats shiny (I started this last night by thoroughly cleaning my hobby area of my loose bits and juat having bits that are needed for currrent projects).

    6. Read at least 1 LO members story (a month)

    Nice I actually made progress for once :D

    1̶)̶ ̶F̶i̶n̶i̶s̶h̶ ̶o̶f̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶m̶o̶r̶d̶h̶e̶i̶m̶ ̶l̶i̶z̶a̶r̶d̶m̶e̶n̶ ̶w̶a̶r̶b̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶f̶r̶o̶m̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶f̶i̶l̶e̶ ̶p̶i̶c̶t̶u̶r̶e̶ ̶
    2̶)̶ ̶P̶a̶i̶n̶t̶ ̶u̶p̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶f̶r̶e̶s̶h̶l̶y̶ ̶c̶o̶n̶v̶e̶r̶t̶e̶d̶ ̶s̶t̶e̶g̶a̶d̶o̶n̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶f̶i̶n̶d̶ ̶a̶ ̶c̶o̶l̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶s̶c̶h̶e̶m̶e̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶n̶e̶w̶ ̶a̶r̶m̶y̶
    3) Magically find a few hundred £££ lying around to fund my new army
    4) Give up on 3) and beg/borrow/steal from close family members so that my motivation and inspiration dont abandon me (again)
    5) Use the money from 4) to get a start collecting box so I can finally own a carnosaur (or possibly Troglodon) - wanted the model since it was released but never had an excuse to
    6) Convert said Carnosaur/Troglodon into an action pose to instil terror in my enemies

    I have to Say though, 3&4 ain't looking good atm - I might have to wait until payday for the next part of the project :D

    Late to the party this month, but my hobby area is all set up in my new home and I’m ready to roll.

    My goal for the rest of the month is to finish my bastiladon solar engine, namely the crystal and skink riders.

    Small update
    My skinks are coming well i just need to acquire a very thin brush for smaller details

    I decided a of change plans (suprise I know) for troglodon, as i may get another carnosaur wich will give me a replacement head. (I only have the broken head and my first carno was bougth used since it was cheap and the paintjob only needs few corrections)

    Instead i'll start assembleing the drakespawn knights for my saurus knights conversion

    Changes in plans always happen! I had little intent on starting a whole 6ft board, but now I'm almost done lol

    Update:

    1. I have begun working on my prologue again for the Animosity III Campaign coming up for my Hathorians & Lumineth, though its not finished.

    I have not begun the second chapter for my Seraphon story, but i do have parts if it mapped out in my head.

    2. Wardens are coming along, 3 of them should be finished soon.

    3. Have begun painting the Hippogryph (pics in my paint blog) and coming along nicely.

    4. No true movement on this one, although, sleep eludes me... so perhaps i am indeed moving forward?

    5. I'm not sure, we'll see at the end of the month

    6. I haven't read a story yet, though i have a few i am planning to. Have been checking paint blogs though!

    All in all definitely moving forward with my goals :)

    Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their hobby time

    Goals for the month were:

    • Paint and base 1-2 Character models (Either Count Dooku, Cad Bane or Padme Amidala). - DONE. Painted up Dooku and Cad Bane, I've also made a decent start on Padme.
    • Paint and base my Phase 1 clone personnel upgrades. - DONE
    • At least make a start on painting my Republic AT-RT. - NOT DONE. Decided to start Padme instead and have had limited time at the end of the month due to job apllications.

    Pretty happy with my work this month.

    Done! I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, EXCEPT for the fact that one of the skink arms slipped out of place while it was drying. It looks terrible, and I'm not sure what I can do to fix it, but at least it's not too noticeable if you're not looking for it.

    Alright the month is over and I would like to announce that I finally succeeded with my resolutions.
    The skinks(for now) are finished I will only need to paint some bits like claws, teet and red crests on my alphas but that's for future me to worry about, as far as im concerned they are battle ready.
    For my cold ones I shaved and cut off some bits for future modifications.(BONUS: only stabbed myself once so that's a win for me)

    I didn't get to prime anything and certainly didn't get any more paint on my chainrasps. But I did build kroak and an oracle on trog. Kroak took ages, so many moldlines o_O but he's done and ready for paint
