Thanks for this amazing start to the channel - Happy New Year to everyone. Let me know about how the pandemic (or anything else!) has impacted your enjoyment of the hobby!
Thank you for telling us a story about your new hobby space. And for being open and honest about how you feel about the hobby and the challenges with motivation you’ve had.
Really great first video. Well filmed and well said. I’ve subbed and look forward to more. Thank you for putting yourself out there for us to share in your journey!
Love this! What a great video to kick off your channel. Lockdown for me meant rediscovering my love for miniature painting, which has now blown up into more than just a hobby.
Got a house move myself in Feb looking forward to making a nice hobby space for myself! Look forward to the channel. If gaming isn't your thing anymore hopefully starting a new RUclips channel will give you the same buzz! Glad to hear you are still painting despite not having time to game any more 👍
Thanks for sharing! Filming or just sharing progress can help boost your motivation. Like your workspace, but love your Rohan!! Would be great to see more on your channel. Keep it up, cheers. Tim
I got back into the hobby because of the pandemic. Now I can't see not doing it. I hope things continue to get better for you no matter what form that takes. Thank you for the content
Great video, some fantastic painted miniatures on show aswell! You’re very lucky to have that hobby space, wishing you all the success in 2022, I’ll look forward to your updates!
Great first video dude. Really looking forward to what you're going to do next. I started hobbying during the pandemic so I don't know hobby life without it
Thanks for the support! Hobby is different for all of us, I'm glad it's given you something to enjoy and focus on during the pandemic 😁 I'm excited to see where I can take my hobby now!
Came here from Benji’s Hobbies channel which I also just subscribed to. Very cool hobby space. It would definitely inspire me to paint! A chill video overall. Looking forward to your videos!
This was so relatable. I build scale buildings and have peaks and troughs as far as enthusiasm and motivation goes. The "current climate " certainly hasn't/doesn't help and I increasingly find myself having to self motivate - which is easier said than done. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Well done for speaking about yourself in the pandemic and where you currently are mentally. It's not easy. I'm rebuilding my hobby space after moving and not being in the hobby for a few years now. Subbed and liked.
Thanks for the support! If I can help other people get over their hobby slumps by being honest, then it's a good thing 😊 Sounds like a fun project for you, enjoy your new hobby space!
Looking forward to more content from this channel! I hope you are able to game again more with friends soon. I highly recommend hobbying with a friend if at all possible. Even if it’s through an online format. I’ve found that extremely helpful when I’ve hit a slump. 🤘
Superb video and I actually only started the hobby. Just before the first lockdown. And that help me through the downward trend through lockdown. It was a positive outlook for me. Great hobby room. I have subscribe also.
Nice hobby space, I can't wait until I get one like that. Covid brought me back to the hobby tbh, I had put it down for a couple years while I was moving around a lot but with Covid I got everything out and started painting
Great video, always happy to see new creators enter this space. Did get a slight shock at seeing 4x Dominion though! Looking forward to seeing more of your content, good luck!
Great first video. Subscribed and looking forward to more. I've recently moved and also been lucky enough to get a bigger hobby room and your video is super inspiring as to how to set it up 😀
For me i got back into painting lotr in around august 2020. Few days before the second lockdown to keep me busy and most of all sane. But ive hit the wall a few times with motivation. Knowing your ‘painting for nothing’ since you cant go anywere and play is very demotivating. Especially as i went in blind not knowing anybody in my local area who plays. Luckily an old friend of mine messaged me about starting to play and we play regularly now. But it still sucks knowing thats about the extent of my gaming. Due to canceled events and all the other daft rules thats going to come along with it is putting me back into my slump. But loving the hobby room. Very similar to mine just with less shelves and no computer set up haha.
Thanks for the support, it's great to have you here with us :) I can totally sympathise, "painting for nothing" is really what killed my motivation - which is why I'm trying to find different ways to enjoy the hobby now, maybe I can help you do that too!
@@DenePaintsThings looking forwards to some more content creators on youtube tbf. Might even try myself at some point if i get a computer set up. But work and life gets in the way doesnt it haha. Ive found for me changing up what im painting has helped. So ive started on 40k too. Well bought the stuff to sit in a box for a while 😅 Hopefully you can get some motivation and either paint a new kill team or 500 points of something. Push the boat out and tackle something either massive or a stand alone model (new model for armys you dont play) Try and tackle a lotr mumak. Its a big project and could be very different due to its size.
@@DenePaintsThings ive painted one and got another half painted. Very long process but very much worth it. Gonna tackle the second between projects. Would make an interesting vid for the Chanel too
Yeah,lockdown had a big impact on everyone some positive,some negative,it actually helped to focus my hobby mojo as I'd just been doing the odd bit of painting. Also got my daughter into the Hobby then too lol
Great video your journey echoes mine a little bit covid caused me to pick this hobby up as Iockdowns and travel restrictions stopped my stopped my other pass times, I got back into painting but yet to play as im on the same boat with the social anxiety of it all, im exited to see how you get on, I'm already subbed and liked
"All that good stuff" sorted! 🤣 I can really relate to your experiences with the lockdowns and lack of playing, my particular poison was mostly D&D and yeah one could play online but it never is the same thing. I am still hoping that the more people vaccinate, the higher the chances for "eradicating" this bloody virus. Anyways man, welcome to the hobbytubing space and excellent and heartfelt video! Good job! 👍
These lockdowns have absolutely sucked. And now all the local stores won't let me play without the vaccine passport 😢 Hopefully the madness will end soon 🤞

Thanks man! Appreciate all your advice and support to help get me started - onwards and upwards!
Great first video Dene, MUCH better than my shabby first efforts. welcome to the party, I think you are going to love it!

Thank you for telling us a story about your new hobby space. And for being open and honest about how you feel about the hobby and the challenges with motivation you’ve had.
Thanks Marc, appreciate the support! Being honest about how I felt has really helped and I'm now excited for what happens next 😊

Yesss. Welcome to RUclips. I also have a desk made of white Alex drawers. IKEA for the win.
Thanks man! Awesome to hang out on the stream earlier 👌 Yeah, the Alex drawers are so good for holding desk surfaces!

Thanks Dave! It's been a long journey to get to a dedicated hobby space. Appreciate the support 😊
Your minis look great! Keep at it and show them off with new people.
Thanks 😁
Great video, always happy to see new creators enter this space. Did get a slight shock at seeing 4x Dominion though! Looking forward to seeing more of your content, good luck!
Thanks, appreciate the support! I got 3 of the dominion boxes heavily discounted, and I wanted 40 gutrippaz and 12 boltboyz for my Kruleboyz 😊
Great introduction :) Look forward to more :)
Thanks guys! Great to have you here 😍
That’s a beautiful new hobby space you have there. Look forward to seeing more from you in the future.
Benji sent me 👍🏻
Thanks Green Tree! I've seen you around on other channels, nice to have you here too :)
Nice hobby set-up, I keep meaning to get the same IKEA glass doors!
They're great! Really good for the money.
Excellent start!! Looking forward to more!
Thanks you - appreciate the support!
Excellent video! I’ve got serious hobby room envy now!
Thanks man 😊
New sub here! Good to see you've rejuvenated yourself. I went through the same thing. Looking forward to your videos.
Hey 😊 Good to have you here!
Great first video. Subscribed and looking forward to more. I've recently moved and also been lucky enough to get a bigger hobby room and your video is super inspiring as to how to set it up 😀

Some good looking cabinets 🙂

@@horuslv3 Now there's an idea, I've always wanted to paint a Mumak :)

Yeah,lockdown had a big impact on everyone some positive,some negative,it actually helped to focus my hobby mojo as I'd just been doing the odd bit of painting. Also got my daughter into the Hobby then too lol
I tried to get my family involved, but that was a non starter! Glad it worked for you you and she's enjoying it :)
@@DenePaintsThings it is an odd one how some folk just point blank refuse to even try it

Subbed thanks to the Crazy Crafter Livestream.
Thanks man - great to have you here!
Great start! Subbed. Good luck! 👍
Thank you, appreciate the sub! Happy new year!
Cool video dude, welcome to the fun house. I approve of your pile of shame 😅. Hopefully we'll get to chat at some point in the future
Thanks man! Hoping I can burn through some of that pile of shame this year 😂 yeah, for sure, I'm always up for hobby chat 👌
Thanks for the support!

Thanks so much, that's so nice to read! Fingers crossed we can learn to live somewhat normally again 🤞
Very nice video! :)
Appreciate that, thanks for the support!
ur the first wh40'ler that i see with Horus Heresy Books :D
Love those books!
Next video why you’ve got 4 boxes of Dominion? 😮😊
😂 😂 😂 I got 3 of them heavily discounted, it was the cheapest way to fill up on gutrippaz, boltboyz and shamans!
These lockdowns have absolutely sucked. And now all the local stores won't let me play without the vaccine passport 😢
Hopefully the madness will end soon 🤞
I feel you dude - glad to have you on the channel!
