I'll throw one of mine from the past.  10 year old me didn't have a desert brown, and a limited budget. Yellow is the colour of sand right? Camoflauge for the Disco world!

Sydney Bottocks posted:This reminds me that one time Gately did a video at Valhalla with the guy who created Dropzone Commander. They were playing a demo game and the most notable thing about it was Gately routinely commenting on the guy's English accent, to the point where the DZC guy started to get rather annoyed (he even said "It's OK, I don't mind if you mock me" at one point). Yeah, I had to feel for the Hawk guy, new game, needs publicity. There are some prices you have to make, but that smacked of a deal with the Devil.

Sydney Bottocks posted:On the plus side, I am now actually feeling pretty motivated to paint, knowing that even my most sloppy, half-assed jobs are at least better than BTP's "professional" standard. And the thread wins. I was an average painter back in my you - for a 10-17 year old. I took a break and now I'm painting again, and I used to consider myself an average painter. But looking at stuff from BTP and Mantic and Dakka Dakka threads, I'm willing to upgrade myself to Good. Current scale reads Thats a model? -> Terrible -> Poor -> Blue Table Painting -> Average -> Above Average -> Good -> Great -> Amazing -> Is that really a model?

JerryLee posted:I can definitely see what I imagine everyone is talking about as far as the shortcomings of that Land Raider but it's still something I'd accept as a "I just painted my first tank to tabletop standards" model. A lot of the colors and edges need to be evened out but I'd still rather see it across the table than the THIN YOUR PAINTS crowd. By my scale, that puts you at "Blue Table Painting Level"  Its not that its a terrible paint job - its terrible for a PROFESSIONAL paint job.

They look like they are from a group of well meaning but stupid bunch of robotic adventurers, attempting to disguise themselves as Tau by balancing the heads of dead soldiers on their heads... So many of these bad models seem to have a story behind them....

JcDent posted:Well, lucky me that I can't afford any kind of painting service, let alone $720 poo poo-that-barely-looks-better-than-mine. For reference, that's about twice-thrice as much money I spent on food and stuff in university, and it's more than half my current scholarship. I always get shocked that people have $700 to spend on getting stuff painted! I'm not poor by any means, but with a normal life I have to justify every purchase and spread stuff out. having a birthday in January tends to mean I get a glut of models at the start of the year then spend the rest of the year painting them, with the occasional purchase in between.

So finding 15mm Hueys is a bitch, so someone has put these beauty's on ebay. Badly painted yes, but not the worst the tread has seen, and only £20 for 6! wait....  They are converted pencil sharpeners! The worst part is part of me wants to buy them and see how much work it would be to convert them into usable models. I'd have to figure out how to make a flight stand though.....

Screw it, their a bugger to find and would be £10 each - I'll have a go! and report back - at least bow I have 4 slicks, a dustoff and using the parts left over from the Gunship I got off the wife for Xmas, I should be able to build a Hog as well!

I've got a ton of plastic Golaith guys in my garage. They are all the same sprue that was free on a cover of white dwarf when necromunda came out the first time. My dad worked at a newspaper distrbuters, and they binned returns bar the front cover. So every time GW gave a free model Ugleb and I got a tonne of them. They were 90% Goliath as the other was the more popular Orlock. I often wonder if they have any value.

It was crazy and violent. Most RnM fans don't actually get the show. Hence the sechane sauce riots. Even though it was obvious to anyone with a brain it was never going to be mentioned again. Not a terrible model though.
