BF2S Forums EE Chat - November

I randomly decided the other day to get some Warhammer Space Marines and try and get good at painting them. When i was a lot younger i had a bunch but i've not picked up a paint brush for years and years.

My first attempt. The 2p is there for scale. For you folk in countries that don't use Sterling, well, thats my (pretty dirty) keyboard on the left of the 2nd pic. Also he's a work in progress. On a whim I used Blu-tac to stick his arms on yesterday so i could move them out of the way if i needed to re-paint something underneath. Same goes with sticking him to the base. Also his gun, shoulder pads and backpack are not on yet. I know he looks pretty rough up close like this but try to imagine him as small as he is in real life .




I got a pack of 10 space marines so I could do them one at a time and hopefully improve my painting each time.

PS I only bought 4 paints.

Oh I didn't even think that there would be a thread for that kind of thing (Edit: I'm an idiot i've posted there before). Thanks. I don't really feel my single sloppy space marine is worthy enough to revive the thread with though.

When I was in the model shop I was pondering getting a WWII tank instead. I used to make a lot of 1/72 and 1/48 helicopters but I didn't want another one of them because they fall to bits so easily. My little brother put a tennis ball through a bunch of them last year .

But I decided to go for the space marines, because it's been so long since i've made something that I wanted to start with something on the small side, with the added bonus of being able to start from scratch several times in case of mistakes.

When he's finished i'll post in the model thread, yeah

went to my first college party at a house in Albany yesterday...now that was an experience.

I'm not sure if Albany is far away from Long Island, but I take it the trip to Albany made all the difference and was where you found the true experience.

For the journey is more important than the destination.

If that's not ironic I don't know what is. Go start a thread blaming the government for ruining something of yours. I could use a laugh today.
