Now what I dont like about it is mostly the paints I used. I didnt have much access to the GW paint line so I went with what was widely available Testors. Now I have a whole amy that looks shinnys except for the armour which came out nicely. I also dont like the camo, I wanted a random look to it but I just went abit overboard. Please note that the black is actually not shinny when you see it in person. I just had a poor camera back then

its been a long time and I cant remember what we did with it. But I beleive I took 4th place in the second guild model comp with this guy and part of a squad.

edit: I coudnt find a pic of just him so heres my whole entry. You can also see my first Tank in the back.

(If this already exists I could not find it)  

[A.R.G.U.S Mykal]

My first model was executed by paint stripper, through shame. It was a Khorne Bezerker painted in fire/urban camo.
sad

After that I did Typhus.

That's in the P&M Show off thread somewhere.

I did the same thing as Mycal... My first were an army of nurgle warriors, that my OCD kept saying weren't up to its standards... Ten coats of paint before I stripped them.  

[Reddemon]

My first model? The tomb prince who lead my warband. He's gone to a better place.... My "too much effort to work with now, and wont use for scrpa parts" bin  

[Tech Magos Sejanus]

Sadly, mine too is a casualty of aging parts. It's a wraithguard or something... I think... All I'm sure is it's Eldar... or maybe Dark Angels... God damn, it's been to long to remember... It's either the Interrogator Chaplain special character for Dark Angels or a Wraithguard, both of which are long dead from constant stripping and repainting.  

[PyroXTech]

Mine (just recently painted) were a sergeant, rocket marine and a random guy from the Battle of Macragge set. They are in the painting thread page 36... I think...

I thought the paint came out a little sloppy and I slightly ruined them by trying to add to much detail.

Then again, I have had several people compliment me on how well they were done.  

[[.Psycho.Doughboy.]]

Mine was that guy with the briefcase from the Battle for Macargge(sp?) set. He's at my g/f's house with the feets broken off. >.>' I tried to give him a camo suit.  

[Mat]

Ill probley keep this guy around and build another, because I have extra parts. But when I get home all my models are being stripped and propainted. I just can deal with the shinniness anymore.  

[Marcus McFlufferson]

First model was a metal dreadnought.
It's at a friend's house. We've traded it back and forth so many times.
It's also been stripped and painted twice as often.  

[Andreis]

High elf spearman.
Epic Phailure.  

[Jera_Laguz]

Eaten by a little brother?
Sounds like a story one of my friends was telling me about a kid that attempted to swallow one of his chaos terminators...  

[FlashbackJon]

My FIRST model was a devastator with his plastic bits painted with boltgun silver, because I thought leaving the exposed pewter was a sweet color scheme. (Oh, the shame...)

My first REAL model, and coincidentally, Zed Mk. I...


Not much to like - it's as if I was trying to parade amateurish mistakes. There's still flash on the pieces, I globbed on the paint, there's nothing but flat color, even the drybrushing looks like s**t. sweatdrop
