Well, game-wise I’ve stalled a bit, even e-mail games, but Dave Stone’s Season of Scenery challenge has really got me moving on the scenery front! Progress is slow but steady, which is fine, and I also have a clear-ish idea of what I’d like to get completed for the year, so am not going to grumble! 🙂
Organisation , that’s the ticket! I’m happy with progress mini wise but it’s a pity the whole western world had to shut down in order for me to get sorting!
Don’t hate me but I’ve just got some 2D terrain from Poland. I just got sick of transporting a massive box of terrain to club twice a week! Look forward to seeing your work though!
Best

PIGS has had the same problem. Seems youngsters are only interested in the various card systems and GW formats. Biological growth seems to be the only thing that works. By that I mean indoctrinate your kids which seems to work for other groups with strange way out there ideas like weird church sects.
However, I think the only reliable method is to have members lie about there age.
I agree being organised is the key.
I have painted more in the last six months than I have completed in the last ten years.
This is because of Covid-19 lock-downs but also being a lot more organised. I paint at least one colour on all of the models in the current project each day.
For the first time I have listed all of my unpainted projects. I was shocked at how many thousands of miniatures I have collected.
These were then divided into four groups. Those that I will never finish/dislike/etc, those that I would like to get finished in the next six months (HIGH), those that I would like to have finished in the next 12 months (MEDIUM) and those that can wait to “whenever” (LOW). This has helped me prioritise painting projects and motivate me. It also helps if your are slightly anally retentive!
I am now in the process of selling, giving away or just binning the stuff in the “I will never finish” category which is a very cathartic experience.
Nice post Mike and although I’m not a gamer myself it is nice to see that people are now actively engaged with others in pursuit of their hobby interests. Here’s hoping it continues. Some great looking miniatures on display to admire judging by those photos. As for the lady in the final shot she is an uncannily like the triplets who are members of my modelling club. 😉
