Output down, Mojo gone

So after a very productive 2025 on the painting front, it was bound to happen. My mojo has just got up and left the building. So far 2026 has been a bit of a shocker, on a personal level we unexpectedly lost our beloved family dog. To say we are not happy with the vets or the insurance company is an understatement. I've lost track of the number of phone calls, appointments and bills all to no avail. As a family we are slowly trying to move on.

To compound things I've come down with a rather severe case of flu which has floored me this week. I've literally no energy for anything, even had my first day off work today for the first time in over 10 years. So after 438 days in January it can well and truly f#*k off.

I did manage to finish 2 pieces for the upcoming Barons War display game. They had been painted earlier in the week, just needed basing, which I forced myself to do today. They are the 'Tax collectors' cart from warbases and a resin camp fire from Debris of war.




The horse on the cart was already painted, just needed adding to the base before basing. I did try to pick up a paint brush earlier on a couple of Welsh Spearmen, that lasted about 10 minutes. Hopefully things will begin to pick up.
