Hello boys and girls and welcome to Let's Get Motivated - January 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 intheir 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
Going to start the new year slowly. Paint the spearmen I assembled in January Prime the 10 saurus redcoats that will be February's goal Bonus - Print, assemble and prime a special treat for myself, assuming I don't bungle it
We'll see how january will go. Prime and preshade all US rangers (42 minis) Assemble 2 US vehicles (probably stuart and halftrack) Finish painting Slann Preshade one unit of crisis battlesuits (weapons included) Paint at least 3 DG models If I get to modellers club: Continue on german halftracks Continue on Taunar Edit: and also start working on Feathered serpent
10 more Saurus Deathriders 1 Chimera tanks (dependent on the new 3D modeled decorations I want to add)
First update of the month: Prime and preshade all US rangers (42 minis) Assemble 2 US vehicles (probably stuart and halftrack) Finish painting Slann Preshade one unit of crisis battlesuits (weapons included) - primed, ready to preshade Paint at least 3 DG models If I get to modellers club: Continue on german halftracks Continue on Taunar Still infectious, severe bronchitidis, slowly recovering. But now with inhaler and antibiotics, it is better. I think that in couple of days I'll be confident enough to paint some minis. Yay! Edit: Feathered serpent model chosen
Time to set my goals for this month: - paint the third bronze unit of the Dungeon faction for HoMM3 - paint 6 Uruk-hai scouts - paint all the tiles on the raised platforms of my Gondor board I also would like to enter a story in this months contest Lets see what I can do Grrr, !mrahil
I got some hobby time in: - paint the third bronze unit of the Dungeon faction for HoMM3 - paint 6 Uruk-hai scouts - paint all the tiles on the raised platforms of my Gondor board I also would like to enter a story in this months contest Lets see what I can do Grrr, !mrahil
Update time: Paint the spearmen I assembled in January - painted, just need to base them Prime the 10 saurus redcoats that will be February's goal - not done yet Bonus - Print, assemble and prime a special treat for myself, assuming I don't bungle it - working on it, but it's a process and I'm still working out the fine details of 3d printing. Had a few misprints, but I will persevere. On the upside, I have managed to print some cannons for the Bastiladon I plan to do down the line. As a friend joked, they'll be very Turok
First goal checked: - paint the third bronze unit of the Dungeon faction for HoMM3 - paint 6 Uruk-hai scouts - paint all the tiles on the raised platforms of my Gondor board I also would like to enter a story in this months contest Lets see what I can do Grrr, !mrahil

Second update of the month: Prime and preshade all US rangers (42 minis) Assemble 2 US vehicles (probably stuart and halftrack) Finish painting Slann Preshade one unit of crisis battlesuits (weapons included) - primed, ready to preshade Paint at least 3 DG models Feathered serpent models assembled If I get to modellers club: Continue on german halftracks Continue on Taunar
End of Month Update: Paint the spearmen I assembled in January - Painted Prime the 10 saurus redcoats that will be February's goal - Primed Bonus - Print, assemble and prime a special treat for myself, assuming I don't bungle it - The last piece shall be printing today, but likely won't finish before the day's end. Regardless, I'll mark it as a Printed. Might/will require some green stuff to fill in some gaps, but for a first proper use of a 3d printer, I'm proud of it. And it was a learning experience, which is the important part.
Final update of the month: Prime and preshade all US rangers (42 minis) Assemble 2 US vehicles (probably stuart and halftrack) Finish painting Slann Preshade one unit of crisis battlesuits (weapons included) - primed, ready to preshade Paint at least 3 DG models Feathered serpent models assembled If I get to modellers club: Continue on german halftracks Continue on Taunar (I did not) Bonus: Started painting Stuffed Fables, assembled Tau commander, prepared Quar patrol,
