Hi everyone,
First of all I'd like to say thanks for taking a look. I'm brand new to the hobby, I've never painted anything in my life, I have no discernable artistic talent and I have no idea what I'm doing. The sum total of my experience up until now is spraying some colours onto an old razorback that I found and also practicing doing some glazing/layering (I have no idea which- just something I saw on a YouTube video :tongue
onto a couple of old shoulder pads and that's it.
Having looked around the site here and having seen just how good so many of you are, I decided to just have a bash at something to try and establish a benchmark for myself to work from so that i have something to compare myself to as I go along, and to hopefully get some advice and opinions from the super talented and experienced folks that seem to come to these forums.
So, first of all I am already aware that this is crap, what I don't know is WHY its crap. So, any help would be much appreciated. We can only learn from our mistakes if we know what they are.
I've obviously made loads of errors already, the first being using heavy chipping fluid on my first ever model attempt, having no idea exactly how horrendously heavy the chipping would turn out to be.
I tried to weather it in proportion to the chipping, if that makes sense, which is why it now looks like something out of a bad rendering of mad max.
Anyway, any criticism, advice or opinions welcome.
Also, apologies in advance if I've ballsed this up in any way.
Thanks again for looking
