From the workbench of the esteemed Horati0nosebl0wer

I need a reason to keep my collection of paint. So many of my models are no longer grey and I have more armies than I can play with regularly. I am still inspired to see fantastic armies built and imagine what else can grace the tabletop with some effort. I just know that I’m not the one to keep future finished work. I think its like what I realized during the last Giftmas exchange that I cannot keep all the best stuff for myself. I also came to think that if I want to keep any minis dearly then it’s best to pass them on.

I look forward to the opportunity to do unique builds that are new to me and then let them go. Perhaps this is the way of all painters at a certain age or level of experience. All in all, this is where I am and I will do all I can to share the joy of this miniature world.

It’s the letting go that is hard but the most rewarding thing now as I pore over the many things I’ve collected. I cannot think of a better way than to share these silly little figures as a transfer of our wargame culture. I have nothing more than to look at the completed work as reward because I’m not playing as much as I want. I can’t go out to game because SAGA isn’t very popular other than with the historical gamers who are all old men as well. Perhaps my next mission to Snag-A-Normie will be getting young people onto this game. It would’ve been fun to share it with children but that time and place is long gone. If attention spans were long enough to divert from CCGs, videogames and social media and on a tabletop game there might be hope yet but I don’t have much left.

Meh, I think I’ll aim to finish the armies on my shelf and get more display stuff out there. On a similar note which is relevant to the Spring Clean and our general procrastination I found this video.
