I just painted my first model, and now I appreciate everyone elses work on a whole new level. I've done actually two now, and I've started on my third. Just in that little time, I've seen myself Improve. However, I now understand the sheer skill and dedication, that people put into their models. It's truly inspiring, and I just love the Modeling Community.

AND, it'll just keep getting better!

Show us!

Congratulations! Your first model is a first step; remember, if you ever find yourself doubting your skill, that pretty much every painter out there started out just like this, with a single model and improving on every one after that!

I'd love to see pics!

Pics or it didn’t happen!

We all started somewhere. And everything you do helps you get better, even (especially) the mistakes.

Pics?

Congrats! Yes, please show us some pics. Better yet, start a P&M blog!

aye votes for pics =D and don't worry everyone starts somewhere! Pics are great even if they're just for yourself because it helps you realize you are really getting better, as you do more models, and look back on them plus other people can give you helpful advices =D
