It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing...

So here we are at the startof what I'm going to call DO-WOP...  DrVesuvius's Original Week Of Progress.  An entirely original concept, in no way borrowed from, inspired by or blatantly stolen wholesale from any other blogger.

If you remember, the idea is to do something gaming related every day, have something concrete completed by the end of each day, and to blog about it.

So Day One....

Look it's not my fault, OK.  I actually made pretty good progress on the unit of Rapier Minis Scotties.  If I'd been able to spend the whole day on them I think I might even have brought them to a state of semi-completion.  But even then some jobs are just two-or-three-day jobs.  In this case when I do finish them I'll want to step away from the figures for a day and come back fresh the following day to check them for mistakes and do any neatening up before the Quickshade is applied.  When I realised this, I switched over to painting a handful of armed civilians, but sadly it was too late in the day to even get these finished.

So no concrete finished article yet, but at least I got the ball rolling.  I should be able to finish the Scotties easily tomorrow, with a view to Quickshading them Wednesday.  The civilians I ought to get completely done and dusted tomorrow, as they're a lot easier to correct.  I've also got some polystyrene hills that just need flocking to bring to completion, another easy win.

It seems to me that something like DO-WOP or WOMP might be better for clearing up started and half-completed projects than seeing anything through from start to finish.

I wonder if myincubliss is doing any better?
