I don't know anyone without shelves of unpainted historicals of various periods or models still in boxes...Kieran Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191062526187270925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-247989402720374289.post-85343046758410405632012-08-07T22:05:33.323+01:002012-08-07T22:05:33.323+01:00Same as I would approach anything.

Like a unit/10 models a week.<br /><br />And resist adding more until you've cleared something, otherwise it never gets better.<br /><br />Discipline man, discipline.SortOfPurplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145458180896847643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-247989402720374289.post-52510383478687768672012-08-07T20:45:15.393+01:002012-08-07T20:45:15.393+01:00Try a painting buddy.
Get together to paint somet...Try a painting buddy. <br />Get together to paint sometimes. Agree with each other targets. Be (reasonably) harsh with each other if you fail to meet the targets. Praise each other's efforts.<br /><br />For example - my mate Steve. He is an amazing miniature painter - three times the detail of mine, but takes 3 times as long. I hold him to trying to complete a whole unit before moving onto his next project. <br /><br />He keeps me from getting distracted by TV, computer games, imminent emigration stuff and general life stuff. He also motivates me by looking at my stuff and just going "have you thought about a light red wash on that?" etc, guiding me to upping my painting skills.Rob Godinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02047172047022791309noreply@blogger.com
