    Hello boys and girls and welcome to Let's Get Motivated - January 2023

    This thread is too 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

    My take on this month:

    - Finish painting 6 Wild Wargs
    - Paint the Nazgul and Witch-King model on foot

    - Write a short-story for the January-February 2023 contest

    - Have a game night with my brother (finally a date is set)

    Grrr, !mrahil

    I've already painted 40 model equivalency this month.

    At this point, I've accomplished more than I usually set for myself in a given month.

    Let's see how far I can push this month, shall we?

    I've paint 101 miniatures or equivalency this month so far.

    Frankly, I didn't realize I'd get this far. I guess commission painting is a motivator and have 5 projects on the desk at once to jump between works well.

    As usual posting this later than I should, but oh well

    • The pigeon has been out stubborned, it is finally done and I don't have to touch it ever again aside for use in games
    • Speaking of stubborn models, seems like skink priest will be the next in line to tale care of
    • I couldn't prime any skinks due to wearher issues
    • The saurus are going well, but they're not even close to being finished.
