Hello,

My name is Matt and I have been gaming and painting for about 20 years. These games range from Warhammer Fantasy, 40K, Chronopia, Warzone, epic scale etc etc. The list goes on. I have collected and painted many many armies in that time. I have always worked hard to learn what I can about painting but still have much to learn. It seems I'd spend gobs of money on a golden project that caught my eye and got to about 80% or less painted then quit or sold the army.

Now that I have a family and a baby on the way, budget is way tight and time is down. So as fathers or mothers that love to model and paint how do we balance the equation of time and money. Well I'm definitely in the budget on money but with family time and work there is little time to complete projects. Do you sacrifice quality to have allot painted? Do you break it up in bits and do a little at a time? If your like me you like to paint everything to the best of your abilities. Every model must be unique and look great on the battlefield. But for me that took time. To much time. And like a fat kid at a buffet I consumed more miniatures than I could ever hope to paint.

So the other night I took my kids and wife out for Chinese food (no not a buffet lol). A fortune cookie said this, " A little every often makes for allot later."

This really struck me for the answer I needed! Could I simplify my paint and converting to get things done at an even pace? I think the answer is yes. In this blog I will post my current Imperial Guard project and few others that I have in the pot. I will also showcase my paint commissions as well. After all I am going for battle ready miniatures right? I think I can make this happen. In this blog I will take a journey, a journey into a realm of painting within my abilities and time. To say, hey, that's OK its not Eavymetal quality. Thank you for reading ill have pics up soon!
