The real driving force for me, though, is improvement. Every time I paint a model with my mediocre skill I think "I can do better" and try to figure out how. It becomes a game in its own right.

I can set my first horribad attempts next to my latest less horribad attempts and see a wealth of improvement, and it makes me happy.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/494643/5076771.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/494643/5076771.page GMT Painting motivation
Or, if you really don't want to paint I bet you could commission someone to do it for you. You could have all those painted amazingly for roughly 80$ or less.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/494643/5076796.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/494643/5076796.page GMT Painting motivation
Netflix has been my saviour. I have painted my way through every single season of Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe. I've also caught up on Walking Dead, and How I Met your Mother.

Find a painting method that works for you. Make a paint plan so you aren't just slapping paint on the model hoping it comes out ok. If you are unsure of how to paint your models just ask on here, there are plenty of people willing to help figure out a paint plan that will work for you.

A big motivation for me is seeing my painting improve, as well as being able to put an army down on the table, fully painted, and saying: Yes, I did paint all of those!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/494643/5076860.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/494643/5076860.page GMT Painting motivation GW website that people use audio books about their army to get in the mod (probably advertising, but still good)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/494643/5076934.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/494643/5076934.page GMT Painting motivation

That's less motivation to paint, and more making unpleasant painting bearable, but hey, whatever works! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/494643/5076958.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/494643/5076958.page GMT Painting motivation http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/494643/5076961.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/494643/5076961.page GMT Painting motivation
I just put on a show (Walking Dead season 2 right now) and the time flies by as I churn out base after base.

I probably wouldn't do it on a character model or something I want to take my time on, but to churn out rank and file troops or base painting it's a godsend ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/494643/5077040.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/494643/5077040.page GMT Painting motivation http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/494643/5077104.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/494643/5077104.page GMT Painting motivation http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/494643/5077141.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/494643/5077141.page GMT
