Done, and done.

So.. There.. I'm Finally done painting the last of Lovefictions HeroQuest gaming pieces. All of them painted, sealed and put away pending packaging. It has been fun, it has at times very frustrating, I've learned a lot, but most important of all - I kept the promise that I would paint them. This promise is the main reason why I didn't scrap the project - my motivation certainly screamed for mercy many times along the way. But I don't break my word, simple as that.

Remember that: People who don't keep their promises aren't worth the air they breathe.

It would be quite a stretch if I said that I’m satisfied with all of them, but plastics don’t allow do-overs, so they get to stay imperfect… On the whole this project have been a failure when one considers the amount of time that have passed since I first got the objects in my hands to when I dusted the final sealant onto them. Other things got in the way, I had to prioritize other things.. I forgot about it completely at times; I started other projects (since I had forgotten about it or because it bored me and I didn’t have a timetable nor heard any complaints – young and stupid? Check. Unprofessional? Absolutely. And no, I’m not proud of it). Then came a time when I felt that I just had to suck it up and get it done. And now it is.

They’re hardly my best work, and I really don’t think that my efforts show on the finished models, which is frustrating since I didn’t take any shortcuts. As I mentioned in an earlier post, it’s difficult to paint poorly detailed models. But they still look (a lot) better now than they did unpainted. No doubt about it.


Now.. Where did I put my airbrush?
