FUNK

[John Long]

Trying to gain back my enthusiasm. I just finished this dude. I say finished, but it really needs a little more work. I seem to do this a lot. I get a figure about 98% finished and that's when I feel like it's finished enough to share it. I'll still add some pastel weathering and touch up a few details and hit the visible glue spots with some dull coat.

My pace lately has been slow but steady. I'm going to go back through some of my backlog of original projects next and see about getting back into some of those. There's some good stuff in there, but I lost interest for one reason or another. I'm to a point on a couple of those that I just need to hit that tipping point that means completion is inevitable. After I get my first Tri-athlon behind me I expect to gain back the drive for my favorite hobby again.

John,
He looks stunning, & congratulations on completing him. Especially impressive are the highlights on the trousers, & the way the figure overall blends with the groundwork.
I know what you mean about motivation, I've got so many figures & kits I'd like to complete, & sometimes I have to force myself to sit down & cut resin or paint. It's a much-loved hobby, but like every worthwhile activity it requires discipline - I suppose that's the main lesson I've learned from it.
Come to think of it, I must go & do some painting right now!
Cheers,
Chris
