Still not got the modelling, painting and making mojo back. All I painted this week were two Risk pieces as a trial . However l have cleared my desk/ battlefield of months of detritus-
Not too sure what game to go with, any game is a good game and I am interested in what you have planned for the Risk figures. Painting mojo has been away from me for a while now but I have been busy varnishing and basing so still good hobby time. As the nights start to creep in should see an improvement in mojo I think.
Painting Mojo seems to have deserted me here as well, but I have been making scenery instead - which is something I enjoy doing as its creative.
I have also been sorting figures into units for work out what other Minifigs Marlburians I need ahead of an order - I have decided they aren't going to get any cheaper and there don't seem to be too many second hand ones out there (not sure why) so it is time to bite the bullet and put a fairly large order into Caliver.
Neat and tidy again. I understand your quandary / frozen mojo as I am in the midst of a similar clearing and boxing up - my modelling fold down desk and all my figures either away on exhibition or boxed and stored ready for redecoration (and most excitingly at long last some proper storage cabinets with glazed display case sections, being about the next 10 years of Christmas and Birthdays rolled into one!) Inspired I think it was seeing the lit exhibition figures So oddly we have been playing RISK (Napoleonic edition) instead too! I hope you find a suitably engrossing game or period to carry you into autumn … big and shiny 54mm is always good.

ReplyDeleteSomething big and shiny! 54mm toys.... but that's just me.

Risk tokens, grided battlefield.....
ReplyDelete-'A Portable Wargame' perhaps??
I understand about the mojo taking leave - I am just getting back into the swing of things over here! It will return
ReplyDeleteClearing away built-up hobby detritus is progress, nonetheless. Maybe you’ll be in the mood for a remote game soon?
ReplyDeleteHow about another Northwest Frontier game of VBCW? Both look pretty quick and easy ro set up.

That's how it goes - I know my interests rotate a lot, but it always comes back to the beginning. Wherever that is/was.
