Motivation Doesn't Always Cut It

Name all of those models!

Alright, so I got the new blog going to motivate myself. Surely I can walk over to my desk and start knocking out new models like it's no big deal, right? Nope. My desk is a mess covered with the remnants of countless amounts of half started projects. It took me a few minutes to even find my glue! This brought me to a pretty sad conclusion. It doesn't just start with motivation.

Organization was the other key part of what I was missing from my hobbies. Having a clean work space is a huge factor in to actually being able to get any amount of work done on your projects. Looking at my desk made me realize I need to start somewhere. So, I began grabbing my miniatures one by one to either pack them up in my cases or put them on my different display shelves. A tedious under taking to say the least.

Step two of reaching hobby nirvana was finding a system to organize my massive amount of bitz that I've been amassing over the past two years since I got back into 40k. A cheap $10 drawer unit from Target did just the trick as I began clipping all of my bits from the sprues. Again, another very tedious task that took up far more time than I would have liked.

Now that I have everything as clean as I'm willing to make it where the hell do I begin? I probably have close to thirty kits that are unbuilt let alone unpainted. In my mind I always gravitate to building everything before bothering to put brush to model for the simple reason that there is nothing stopping me from playing with an unpainted miniature, but unbuilt ones are completely unusable. Let's get back into the groove of things by finishing a half built Noise Marine squad that I probably started working on six months ago now.
