Your very FIRST Tabletop-Mini?

[Galatea]

Or the first you have a photo/are able to take a photo of.

Important thing is you should note wether you had previous experience in
Model construction/painting.



I had previous experience though I only had painted aircraft until that day (and that not really good).
Anyway, here's my first tabletop mini (I don't think it's that bad):

At least I had the ability (from the very beginning) to put colour where I intended it to belong. To learn several painting techniques isn't that hard once got this.

Need to see if I can dig out a camera and take a picture of my Battletech Wolfhound. Still in it's original paintjob, untouched except for getting battered up from moving

Oh, if you count Battletech in (never thought of that as a tabletop :wink it's this one:

Mine's an Ogre Miniatures Fencer. I'll see if I can find it...

Mine is a classic:

I had no previous experience. I added the base later on, when slotta bases became trendy. He's a little chipped now, but still ready to save save Sommerlund from the Darklords.

Sheesh.

I don't even dare post pics of my very first Warhammer elves (painted when the rulebook was the "Warhammer Fantasy Battle" hardback all those years ago. Everything so far outclasses them about ten times over. There's patches of bare metal, huge paint overlaps and everything

Thankfully I don't even know where they are any more, so I couldn't get photos even if I wanted to.

The imperial gothic battleship by gw. This was back in the day when BFG was called spacefleet, and you hit your oponants ships by throwing the dice into the box lid. Which was printed into hit/miss sections.

What do you know, I was grubing around my garage, and I found it.

I have an old imperial fleet, in various states of disrepair, but this was my first mini I painte

It's not that bad for a first mini really.
Paints a bit thick, but thats it lol.

Cheers. I didn't know much at all about painting at all, so it's a real mix of paints. I think gw black, some model airplane paint (humbrol, airfix, tamia, or something like that) and the yellow is a sampler of the yellow enamal my mother tested for the kitchen. I think the only reason it looked any good is that the colours kind of go together. I ended up painting a small fleet.

Oh Lord?

First ever Painted figures were some Peter Laing (who?) 15mm Crimean Russians

Which I still have somewhere, they must be 30 years old now.....

I suppose I could put a photo up, if you promise to be kind....
