Ahmato Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 My first mini was a ML marine, which I went a bit OTT on, I figured he was the heavy weapons man and so he ended up covered in useless bits. I think he's still kicking about somewhere, I'll try and get a pic :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcus Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Here you go my first :devil: next to one done a year later. The first I tried to paint like the box, a few months later I discovered the B&C PC&A board and my painting improved a lot. I remember being really pleased with the ultra until I looked at the first picture I took of it :P http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b246/brother_marcus/difference.jpg And this is my latest WIP http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b246/brother_marcus/Praetor2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to get a mini or two and see... Im sure there is still enough space to show then vs now. Goes to show you gotta start somewhere before you go anywhere :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypher441 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Looking here just goes to show you that practice does indeed work. That IS a good looking first mini Marcos. My first fully painted mini (although I started with Imperial Fists, I never finished painting one) was painted in BT colours, the model came from an old second edition battleforce set with lots of Imperial Fists on the front. I thought he sucked at the time, but looking back on it now, he's not that bad. :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharderBlade Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Yeah I havn't stripped my first mini but I have since added gloss, blacklining, a base, and have touched up many turdlicious areas. SO he now looks just slightly worst than my other guys. Marcus is that your first marine or mini? Because my guys look about as good as that ultra marine now. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callas Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Mine have been destroyed to protect the sanity of the general public...... Suffice to say I had an even more limited palette than Andy and a far bigger brush. It was not pretty. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DV8 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Very first model, from 1998. Holds a special place in my heart. :huh: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/mybrain/firstmodel.jpg And the last set of marines I painted (not going to post the more recent, non-PA models I've done). Click me for Sword Brethren picture. A bit of an improvement, methinks. You can view more pictures of the Sword Brethren by clicking me..

Chaoswolf Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Wow!! There're some brilliant first mini's shown here. I can't show mine 'cause it's not power armoured (heck it's not even GW :huh: ), and I don't have a decent camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
