Are you a 'one thing at a time' kind of painter or are you like me with a disaster zone of a desk with multiple WIPs? (Skuddy the rat demon and a frost giant from Kings of War and Domitan's Stormcoven for my Astral Templars) #nerdlings - ThreadSky

One at a time for me when it comes to painting. When it comes to building? Either go full tilt on the models or intersperse them between paint jobs.

zufosfatebreaker.bsky.social•86 days ago

I have the "queue table" where things are current wip until something jumps ahead of the queue (like Snerk has currently XD). Things could be practically done, but I just don't have an interest priority.

Also have a Stormcoven on here atm too.

zufosfatebreaker.bsky.social•86 days ago

Those poor Vigilors have been there since Dominion came out :P

realironhand.bsky.social•86 days ago

I have a queue table too

I'm not showing that one 😅

ceda-kuru-qan.bsky.social•86 days ago

Disaster zoner here. On the plus side I get more time to think about how to proceed whilst cleaning the dust off my next figure

tpaintsgames.bsky.social•86 days ago

I mean, not my desk, but my two cabinets are filled more than half unfinished, but of those the majority are "started" 😅

eaterofbrushes.bsky.social•85 days ago

Oh this is 100% me

kurishicee.bsky.social•86 days ago

I'm very much more of a batcher these days!

reetnortherner.bsky.social•86 days ago

I'm always trying to limit myself to one thing at a time, but currently I'm working on 5 more Boar Boyz and in between a army standard bearer. Oh, and still got an unfinished diorama using minis from Combat Patrol magazine 😂

owolf.bsky.social•86 days ago

Definitely disaster zone 😆

realironhand.bsky.social•86 days ago

redtoof.bsky.social•86 days ago

I’m definitely a batcher.

richdmay.bsky.social•85 days ago

I have at least six things sitting half-finished at any given time. Sometimes for years... 😭

hereticsandheroes.bsky.social•85 days ago

I get tunnel vision and work on one thing till it's done. It would give me a lot of anxiety to leave something unfinished, unless I decided to just abandon it.

malleus888.bsky.social•86 days ago

Gunpla tends to be one at a time. Minis can be a mess of both assembled and painted at different stages

chopperkelly.bsky.social•85 days ago

Everything, everywhere, all at once! That’s why I struggle to finish anything. Lovely wips, looking forward to seeing the mantic giant finished 👍

gamcknight.bsky.social•86 days ago

I'm an absolute screaming clusterfuck of a painter with half-finished and barely started minis all over the shop.

realironhand.bsky.social•86 days ago

cozmicaztaway.bsky.social•86 days ago

I TRY to have only one thing going at a time (but I prime as much as I can because it's a hassle), but I tend to have things in a half-finished state around as my interest shifts.
That kill Team IS finally getting done next month, for real!

thehobbyistbear.bsky.social•86 days ago

I had to force myself to one project at a time. If I start multiple projects, the earlier ones just get buried and forgotten.

realironhand.bsky.social•86 days ago

I think I might have to do the same 🤔

thelilmek.bsky.social•86 days ago

I feel like i know what you mean.

rictus-still.bsky.social•86 days ago

I have more WIPs than completed projects.

This is not an exaggeration.

kalos.bsky.social•86 days ago

Disaster zone.. I dare not show mine lol 😆

realironhand.bsky.social•86 days ago

alunbweird.bsky.social•85 days ago

End of the world level ever-evolving catastrophe.

voiceofkosh.bsky.social•86 days ago

My WIPs are so numerous they can't all sit on my desk and have spilled onto a shelf, and some boxes. 😂

realironhand.bsky.social•86 days ago

Like @zufosfatebreaker.bsky.social I have a whole other desk covered in them 😅

howlinggriffon.bsky.social•86 days ago

I try to clear my paint station before starting a new project. Usually it's because I force myself to finish what I'm working on before moving onto something else. Sometimes, however, what's on the station gets shoved into a box so it's easier to ignore it 😬

owolf.bsky.social•86 days ago

The problem begins to raise its head again when the boxes are full 😂.
I also don’t know if it’s good that those have windows.

owolf.bsky.social•86 days ago

Forgot the picture🤦‍♂️

orkhugs.bsky.social•86 days ago

I bought these plastic shoe box fixed totes that I use and call "project bins" that come in sets of 5. I got them to help organize my jobs so I can finish them easier... I now have about 20 project bins and no finished jobs... 😑

keith-christmas.bsky.social•86 days ago

I'll build and prime a load of stuff all in one go, and then I'll *mostly* force myself to finish all that before I move on to the next thing

Occasionally I'll get distracted, but generally I'm fairly good at sticking with it

donovanl.bsky.social•86 days ago

I am a disaster zone, batch-painting maniac. I love finishing units together, or similar detachments. Might be partially because I don't get much time to paint, so when I do, I like to feel I'm getting lots of progress.

blackwolf83.bsky.social•86 days ago

I have quite a few made and undercoated ready to go, then normally work on one until it’s done.
But means I can change to another if I’m not feeling it or fancy a change

tabletoptinkering.bsky.social•85 days ago

Definitely disaster zone. I get all the bits I like doing done and then start another one while the previous 15 look at me with shame in the tiny little eyes. That's when I turn them round so they can't look at me anymore.

realironhand.bsky.social•85 days ago

😂 'DON'T LOOK AT ME!'

orkhugs.bsky.social•86 days ago

I'm literally too ashamed of myself to show a picture of my work desk, but there's at least 10 different projects piled haphazardly upon each other at the same time... That doesn't include the 6 shoe box sized "Project bins" stacked next to it. 😭 It's a sickness I'm sure.

sinaraipaints.bsky.social•86 days ago

Many WIPs that I do one at a time, hahaha! So many partially completed projects
