Repainting the first.

I have this mini laying around for many years. It is the very first miniature I ever painted. I think it was about 25 years ago or so. I was in a shop where they sold comics and comic books. There was also a little corner for gamers. When I came looking what they were doing they invited me to sit down to built and paint a miniature myself from a box full of bits.
This one is built using a Skaven body and an Orc head. After glued together I painted it fast and not to neat, thinking that it would be the first time and the last time I would paint something like this. Oh i was so wrong in thinking that.

As you can see the years have taken hold of the miniature. It is all battered up and full of scratches.
So it is time to give it some love and paint it up to make it nice and shiny again.

The first thing I had to do was to clean it up. Because I also wanted to add something extra I searched my bit box to see if it contained a big shield. After some searching I found one. It is a left over from a Confrontation mini. But as it had an forearm attached to it I had a lot of metal to file of before it fit. After that I put some woodglue to the base and added a layer of sand.

After the glue had dried I primed the helmet, shield and the base all black. I was not too careful with applying the paint because as said I am going to repaint the miniature completely.

Next the painted Orc/Skaven Hybrid (that will be his name).

Thanks for reading.
