Beginnings!
Came across this tonight in a little "time capsule" box I had put away...
This is the FIRST miniature I ever finished painting - the date on the bottom is 4/4/88 - so that means I was thirteen at the time.
My friend painted Ral Partha figures, as did his mother, so I had asked for miniatures and paints for Christmas. My mom had gone to the local hobby shop, and got me a whole bunch of acrylic paints (Polly S had a fantasy line back then), brushes and a bunch of miniatures. This was a Citadel Warhammer chaos mage of some sort.
This was the very beginning of what would become a lifelong hobby.
And yes, I'm fully aware that it totally sucks. :) I like to think I have improved a bit over the last 19 years.
That last sentence made me feel really old...
