So
today I built the eight Knights Errant I intend to finish by the end
of the month and this thought occurred:
I
don't think any Warhammer hobbyist likes every part of the hobby.
Some, my friend Dan for instance, find painting the models
time-consuming and boring. Another friend of mine dislikes building
rank and file models, again because of the time-consuming aspect.
Commenters on rumour sites hate every single aspect of the hobby but
that's their own bizarre psychosis and I'm happy to leave them to it.
Me?
Sanding bases. I hate that there's this stage that no matter where I
put it gets in the way of me finishing the damn model. I tend to sand
the bases before spraying them black (always black, I hate white
undercoat) because waiting a day for the PVA to cure before painting
them is slightly preferable to doing it after finishing the paint job
because then they can gather dust that affects the varnish's finish.
Luckily,
this is a small gripe compared to the other possibilities. I like
building the models, especially if I can add some little touches of
extra personality to them with my extensive collection of spare
parts. I actually really, really enjoy painting models now that I've
got the basic skills down.
I
may not love painting so much after trying to finish a whole lance of
Knights Errant to my preferred standard but we'll see where we are
once its done.
