This week’s pledge is to work on the next batch of Heroes’ 3 minis.

• What was your last hobby related project that you have abandoned and why? – My Egyptian terrain build was on pause for a couple of years, until I finished it for Terrain Fest or the Spring Clean Challenge (I forget which) a year or two ago. And there was a board game kickstarter (with minis) that I just sold on straight away.

this weeks pledge is both easy and likely to actually be finished : paint & finish the sliding doors for my built-in closet. 😀
I’ve already done 2 out of the 4.
The 3rd one has been primed and I’m literally waiting for the paint to dry, which according to instructions is after about 5 hours.

I’m currently pondering if I should do a quick 2nd layer to cover the few bare spots I’m seeing or just paint the damned thing and be done with it. That second layer feels like overkill because the paint does cover nicely and I can always do a second layer of that instead.

The edges haven’t been painted mostly because it’s rather awkward to get to them all. At the DIY shop I spotted U-shaped plastic edges, which looked like they’d be useful. Turns out that whatever wood has been chosen is just a bit too thick to fit, which sucks as the next step up looked like it was too wide.

forgot to include the music:

Pledge:  Finish off my Speedpaint pen Romans this weekend as I’m clearing the decks to take on some painting for one of my mates.  He’s paying, mate’s rates but still paying, so I guess that counts as a commission, right?

Answer:  The last project I fully abandoned was a tabletop layout for a skirmish  wargame I wanted to play with the Batman: Gotham City Chronicles boardgame miniatures.  I was planning on playing the boardgame and then reusing the miniatures on a massive city scape table which would have included a skyscraper,  monorail, park with funfair and port.  Sometimes my ideas are much bigger than my capacity to deliver them 😀   I sold the boardgame stuff last year so that project is definitely a gonner.  It is unusual for me to do that.  I’ve got 50+ projects stashed away in the pile so it is much more normal for a project to go into suspended animation.  I usually circle back to them eventually.

There is some great music coming out of Ireland at the moment.  Something very new is this one:

Definitely the best song about a lottery scratch card 😀
Something a bit older but still modern from Fontaines:

Blargh! Lost my post.. egh.. here goes again

Pledge: Keep working through Dottirs of Hel and the Harryhausen Hellenics

Last project I abandoned was a ventilation fan unit that I didn’t have the engineering know-how or access to a 3d printer to realize a mounting bracket. I had failed to figure out a rear access panel while building the case as well.

Besides that I’ve been rolling other projects into each other or putting things on temporary hold as I plow through other stuff.

@pagan8th Sneaky sneak… we’ll be watching.

@limburger 1:1 ratio issues and it is a big elephant to chew on

@waywarddarkwolf Skellibobs to come out and quickly painted for less headaches. Easy peasy,  cheap and easy

@zoidpinhead “I’ll get back to that”… often we say this but its always crazy to see when we actually do

Since I haven’t added enough music for a while

This week’s pledge is to work on the rest of the Haunted Gatehouse that will be a part II  project. At least paint the core of it ready for when the airbrush components and texture paint arrives.

some local bands around my neck of the wood

It’s been a while since I joined in one of these threads, hope you’ve all been behaving yourselves as usual.

Pledge is to build the Combat Patrol I’m painting for a charity thing. I quite like building, esp modern GW plastics so this isn’t too much of a hardship.

My last fully abandoned project was, like @zoidpinhead Gotham City. I was going to do a modular table with lighting and everything. Then I build half of the MDF kits and realised there was no way I could store the whole thing. Still hurts to have put that one aside but I’m not moving to a bigger flat anytime soon.

@Wonkygoblin something dwarfish as usual, yeah?

The Algorithm served me up a new channel this week and I’ve been listening to a lot of this as I potter about the flat
