Some of them are definitely not quite murky enough...<br /><br />The GW washes are definitely not the right product to be mixing with them - in some ways I've been mildly sabotaged by my own impatience, rather than going out and buying an ink, which is what my wife told me I should do. I think I should probably go and do what I was told and see how that turns out...The Responsible Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377870574546599439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7227763568720419840.post-14527817526894491122013-11-07T21:29:32.512+00:002013-11-07T21:29:32.512+00:00I could have sworn that I'd already commented ...I could have sworn that I'd already commented here. Althought I have been losing the plot lately. More than usual. A post brimming with goodness! Loving those corpse tokens, I might have to borrow the technique using water effects etc. Those marionettes are suitably creepy with that colour scheme, bloody superb. As for painting, I've been trying to blitz at weekends, and it started well but is slowing a little, might have to try shifting to a little bit every evening too...

That will probably take the next year or so. The current plan is to reduce the limit by one for every two items that get done.The Responsible Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377870574546599439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7227763568720419840.post-67163868087210594332013-11-02T17:34:38.137+00:002013-11-02T17:34:38.137+00:00Ah, and thereby hangs the rub.

It's a project / work management ...Kànban. :-P<br /><br />It's a project / work management technique to try and encourage you to get more things done. It took me a bunch of time to set up the tracking system, but now it's there, it's very useful... And a sea of WiP projects is why I started focussing on finishing them!The Responsible Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377870574546599439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7227763568720419840.post-1614767124747786042013-11-01T23:01:11.493+00:002013-11-01T23:01:11.493+00:00Cabin Bored ?

I think that if it acts as some sort of incentive to progress then some sort of action tracker might help. But I have too much to keep track of. As I uncover it, I might do something, but generally it will sink back beneath the sea of it's fellow WIP projects.

The theory is that if you want to get things done, the most efficient way of doing that is to only have as much stuff "in progress" as you can actively work on. The long term goal is "just in time" delivery and limiting unused inventory.<br /><br />If I hadn''t bought my massive mountain of unpainted and untouched figures, I would probably have paid my credit card off by now! The log term goal is that anything I buy, I start work on inside a week or so. It means I will have more time and more money.The Responsible Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377870574546599439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7227763568720419840.post-70599115111799796852013-10-28T23:18:55.327+00:002013-10-28T23:18:55.327+00:00I love seeing other people's Kanban boards, it...I love seeing other people's Kanban boards, it makes me feel a lot better about the crazy amount of things I've got going on in mine!<br /><br />I haven't experimented with putting limits on yet as I've basically inverted the x/y axis to show progress on individual armies.
