Crappy mini or not?

This is my entry into the crappy mini or not. It's one of three circa 1989 miniature called "Barbarian Berserkers" from Grenadier. For years I thought this was a terrible mini. It was one of the first ten miniatures I had ever painted -- around 1991. I had discovered Games Workshop by this point and insisted that the base fit on a 20mm square base, so I sculpted one out of epoxy. I was quite happy with it because it was the first time I had ever painted any metal as bronze. The newly repainted (April 2002) figure looks good -- so now I realize that it wasn't a crappy mini, I was just a really crappy painter...

Can see how you've come on. Great paint job. You've made the most of the figure.

I think it is great that you kept basically the same painting scheme. Does he still have green eyes? Wonderful show of before and after!

It is amazing just how far the sculping has evolved.
