Five miniatures, five hours
« on: March 26, 2021, 04:13:18 PM »
In a bid to paint miniatures regularly for the first time in 20 years and actually get something in the table instead of the cupboard I've decided to try and paint five miniatures for five hours each week. I'm calling them done at the end of that and moving in to the next group.

This thread is an attempt to keep me honest! Any one else want to join in?

Here are the first two weeks' efforts. Gnolls for Rangers of Shadow Deep. Rather rough and ready, but my aim is to get them on the table top...

Good idea.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

I agree with commisarmoody- excellent project! Once you get the habit established it will be harder to break.

Painting anything the same week as moving your house is impressive!  That is dedication.
