From the German 'Kabinettskriege' - Cabinet Wars: a period of limited conflict from the Peace of Westphalia (1648) to the French Revolution (1789).

Where's the Mojo Gone?

When I started this batch, I thought it would be a quick job as the greatcoats would be so easy to paint.  


But what it's shown me is that the bit that I find both tedious and time-consuming, is not the uniforms, but the backpacks and all their straps.  

I really thought these figures would be complete by now; it's been nearly a month since this post (Link).  OTOH, taking this photo the other day, seems to have stirred me into action and they are now making much better progress.  They're still going to take a bit of time to get completed but I do feel I'm getting there now.

Meanwhile back in the cabin, a.k.a. HizHut, the table has been left untouched since the 'Blitz on Villeroux' Chain of Command game ...


... as I have no games planned until the refight of this game next week.


May the Mojo be with you.

    My sympathies with all the straps, I seem to be painting a lot and finishing nothing. After a good start to the year there's been a dearth of games too. Nevertheless the hobby continues to have its dividends.
    Happy Easter

      Thanks. It's not been helped by the new pot of matt white that I'm using having a different consistence to normal, one that doesn't seem to want to flow off the brush.

    I find my painting mojo comes jumps and spurts. When faced with a wall of WW2 khaki I make some scenery or buildings as a break to fell my mojo

      Strangely, I found posting the blog about losing my mojo seemed to bring it back - or maybe that was just a happy coincidence?

    Oh absolutely, it's the bits and bobs that take forever with the napoleonics! At least you don't have cuffs and turnbacks to worry about!
