How long have you been painting?

Pretty much almost every day for the last eight years. Sorry if the photos don't reflect that. My lightbox and whatnot are packed away.

I do have pics of some of my other stuff if you're interested.

The books a bit bland, needs somthing on it. The metals a bit bright for my taste, I'd dull it down some. Your paint looks a little thick too, are you using straight from the pot? If yes you might want to water it down some.

Nice conversion idea.

Always happy to see more photos.

Nice conversion but paintwork poor for eight years,although poor lighting can have an effect.
Checkout my converted Relictors dread done after 6 years modelling 40k.

Dude, don't hijack someone else's thread with your own pictures. Quite uncouth.

D0uch3-tastic.

I like the concept certainly, and while the paintwork could be improved it's not completely awful.
WIP?

Well thats a shame. I was looking forward to seeing your other photos.

The standard here is high, but myself and many others are always on hand to offer useful tips and helpful comments and you should not be discouraged.

You want people to see your work, post your own thread. That way you'll get actual C&C instead of just being given a lesson in manners. Besides, there are people out there who've been painting for less than a year that put 98% of us to shame. So avoid laying things out on the table for comparison, cause yours ain't the biggest in the room.

And overzealous is one word.

I was interested in seeing where toymaker was going with his LF. Toymaker, if you would re-post your Dread I, for one would be most appreciative.

I think he found the thread being hijacked and some of the comments being too harsh a bit much.

Like I said, Shame.....

Bring em back!

Seriously, its all good here. Its just unfortunate your first picture thread got hijacked, I can assure you its not a regular occurence and the offender has been told and apologised.

If you feel you dont want to, hey thats OK, but dont let it put you off.
