Neither of my first armies are actually finished but recently, I found some of the first GW mini's I ever painted. Absolutely god-awful!!
My skills have gotten considerably better over the years such that I feel like going back and repainting all the older stuff.

Lately, I feel like I've hit a plateau with my work and don't quite know how to improve.
