Thanks, I found a video on you tube that kind of showed me how to do it, but I think she done it on an old version of mine so some i had to make up as i went along.

Welcome to Dakka! Looks great for a first try. Yeah, for some reason most guys who game don't really understand that girls do really exist.

Lol yes ,that's the impression i got. Me and my husband walked in to the shop and the gentleman came over to ask my husband if he could help and got the shock of his life when my husband said its not for me its for her.

I like the model looks rather bad ass, and it appears you have prior painting experience.

And dudes, looks like you have some competition
And obviously women do exist. However few there are here lol.

Making no mistakes is what establishes the certainty of victory, for it means conquering an enemy that is already defeated.

Inside your mind, corrupting the pathways

An excellent choice of army too

And my wife refuses to go into GW shops because of the way people in there tend to react/treat her, so good on you for braving the horrors of GW

Hope to see more of your work in the future.

As far as painting guides go, you could do far worse than look at some of these threads by LBursley.

Best of luck in the hobby.
