So I gave in and ended my hobby streak at day 47? I think? And I feel I got an admirable amount of things done for someone whose last projects were like 15 years ago. I learned things. I tried new techniques. I ended up with a handful of minis passable as ‘done’ and a bunch of WIPs.
I tended to follow a schedule that focused on paint effeciency over model completion. As in, don’t use a paint until I have multiple uses for it lined up to minimize waste. This method let me try out a variety of painting techniques in the last month. But the lack of finished products rubs me wrong. I think going forward I may have to bite the bullet and accept inefficiencies for my sanity in order to finish more minis. Which opens me up to the risk of staying on a project too long, but given my adhd approach so far I predict that going the other way with the pendulum will help me learn new lessons that help in the long run.
