Here is my first mini

**Skippy**

The mini from a paint starter set circa 1995 ish

**PDH**

Oh I was waiting for the classic plastic chaos warrior to appear.

**Bewareofthephil**

I had tons of those guys. Didn't they come in Warhammer Quest too, or did I get them somewhere else... I just remember having tons of identical guys!

**Skippy**

Im proud to say i managed to get the mould lines all off at least!

**LazzurusMan**

I feel rather embarrassed...I only have pictures of my recent models...and I've been painting 4 years...is that acceptable or not? I don't mind if it isn't

**Shandara**

Had to dig into some drawers for these..

**Benamint**

I love this thread

and i just want to say thank you for all of you "old timer" painters. It's because of you guys that at least I have become a good enough painter to get a commission here and there. All because of me posting pics to Dakka and asking for help and watching tutorials.

I loved those Space Crusade mini's.

One of my mates uses the chaos ones as his Thousand Suns.

**Ovion**

When I get them out of storage, I'll take a pic of my first paintjob before I likely strip it and repaint it xD

**tme0003**

An old school Chaos Raptor. Not my very first (as I just started stripping a bunch of those) but one of my original paint jobs as a 14 year old. Behold it's glory.

Can't really show the marines from the crusade box since my brother still uses them in his Blood Angels army

**TQSplinter**

I lost my first mini's, but I remember using a LIBERAL dosage of lime green spray paint and then using thick blobs of bad moon yellow for anything called a "detail"

Suffice to say I remember them looking VERY clumpy :(

**Wolf_Ov_The_Void**

Not my first one but maybe a week after i started painting, my first one looks worse, i'll look for him this week.

**Johnny-Crass**

I will root around for mine but some of you people paint really well for a first timer....
