I got my sister an Ork Trukk for her 10th birthday. The only thing I helped with was areas that needed fine detail, but that's it.

Pretty good painting for a 10 year old. I like it!

Impressive, far better than I was when I started out. And I was 13 when I did lol.

I can tell that she is going to grow into a fine young lady.

10 year old sister.... trukk for birthday... wait, what?

My thoughts exactly. What an odd present. Regardless, it's a nice paintjob, I can see she's handy with the paintbrush.

She wanted to paint warhammer like me and she wanted to do Orks, don't know why.

Looks great!!

Hey now, don't get hung up on gender sterotypes- clearly the girl has taste!

But seriously- my 11 year old god-daughter has a massive collection of Transformers, so things like this do happen. (I wish I could get her into Warhammer, but she's not at all interested.)

Wow that's really good! Better then what I can do. At first thought I was thinking this trukk is going to be massively pink and purple with some thick layers but I am quite surprised how this turned out.

Sounds exactly like my girlfriend...
And the trukk looks great.

The truck looks hundreds time better than my friend who claimed to be ''professional.''

Your 10-year-old sister has an ork army. Excuse me, I think I'm about to get all emotional

Seriously, that's pretty nice work, especially for someone starting out, and especially for someone so young. My model airplanes that I painted when I was her age sucked...

Almost positive thats illegal


But thats a great trukk!

Does she do commissions? Really lovely truck, very well done

For her age that is pretty damned impressive! Good stuff!

i was 29 when i first started painting and your pics look much better than my first work.i wish id started at a young age.

The best thing to teach first is drybrushing, you can drybrush everything and it still looks good.

I agree with that, drybrushing is a good technique that can still make things look decent. She did a great job, tell her we all said so

PS

Excellent looking trukk!
Well done.

Wow i was surprised at how well it looked tell your sister she is a god.

Jeeze guys, not all girls are into barbies and ponies :p

Looks like the young lady has a good grasp on the basics, and uses them better than some guys that have been gaming for 10 years lol

Now teach her to sculpt!!

That paint job is better than many I've seen from vets! I really like the black and white teeth on the grill.

Did she build it, too?

No, I built it. Knives and super glue can go horribly wrong, so I keep my fingers in the line of danger instead.

Hey, give the kid some credit- I was building WWII airplane models when I was like 7 or 8. I swear the glue didnt do any lasting dain bramage!

Awww that's so cute.
She'll be leading a nice big WAAAGH soon.

But seriously you should always encourage the little ones to take up a nice relaxing hobby like painting.

Ah lol! Is this that possible that your 10 year old sister did this? She rocks its great

Make her stop painting this instant!

Why? Because if she'll improve as fast as my girlfriend, she'll soon be yet another artist painting better than me - and I want to rightfully participate at a GD competition once in my life. ^^

/e: one more thing: will there be more to come?

I bought her bikes, but she's grown bored of it at the moment, I need to buy her nicer paintbrushes.
