"There never was much hope. Just a fool's hope."
New Year's is traditionally a time for new beginnings, new resolutions and new challenges. New Year, New Me and all that malarkey. But I'm sure you're not interested in hearing about me losing weight, giving up booze and going to the gym (none of which I have no intention of attempting).
No. This is a hobby blog and so (I assume) you're here to read about hobbying*. And so what crazy resolution/challenge will I be attempting to kick start 2024? After spending literally moments considering it, I had the perfect challenge to spectacularly fail at.
This year, my ill-thoughtout challenge will be to paint 100 models in 100 days. That means that between January 1st and April 10th I will attempt to complete 100 models. Now, considering that I painted a total of about 88 models in the entirety of 2023 and my current record for a whole calendar year is around 110, this may be impossible, but God loves a tryer.
And to start off, between midnight and 1am on New Year's I painted the first model of this challenge; Oindiana Jones, dwarven treasurer seeker.
Now wish me luck, and you can follow my progress/failure by checking out my Instagram.
