Currently fuelling myself with coffee and porridge, and not being Scottish, I do make porridge with milk, sugar and a microwave, which I believe carries the death penalty in some parts of the Highlands.  But anyway!

Pledge
I’m going to start painting some of my Gripping Beast Arab warriors and get my “To Be Greenstuff” pile sorted i.e. get all the gaps filled and have the models ready for a prime.  I’m very obsessive about mould lines and little gaps.  See answer below.

Questions
1. I really wanted to do Stars Wars: Legion when it was announced and even bought a Darth Vader money box so I could save for it.  When I saw the initial unboxings and reviews, I died a little inside.  I am the type of person who physically shudders and sometimes cries when I see painted models with mould lines or models that haven’t been prepped to my standards.  If I wasn’t like this I would have a lot more models painted and wouldn’t cut my thumbs so often.  I actually hold my knife by the blade when cleaning a model, the handle is just there to make it easy to pick it off the table and not lose the blade, so it leads to many cuts… Anyway, back to my lack of Star Wars models…  I wasn’t going to spend that amount of money on non-plastic models that I knew my obsessive gap filling and mould line removing self would have to spend too much time on.  I will happily pay GW prices as the kits are so good.  I will happy pay for Mantic Restic because the value is so good despite the extra work.  So, when FFG actually do plastics… I might consider it.  If I had of preordered, I’d probably have spent a lot of time prepping them and then they would be in my “To be Primed” box.

2. I would love to say I sit down and use SMART to set targets and make goals but I just go onto the next thing and never get anything finished.  I look forward to reading your answers so I might finish something and not just jump onto the next shiny thing I see…
