But no energy to try again. What do you do?

1) Shelve it.
2) Repurchase
3) Strip it
4) Paint over it
5) Finish the fugly
6) Base an entire army off of the fugly.

Strip it and re-paint it usually. If I have no energy, I may shelve it for a while and come back later.

Fix it (usually repaint over).

Though not to the extent of Veteran Trooper Smik

**Infantryman**

Nice, Ki.

I'd shelve it, and strip it if you've good luck with that.

Repurchase of you don't.

**Task and Purpose**

You forgot: sell it on ebay as "propainted" or "well painted". The nerve of some ebay sellers is amazing. Nothing like strolling through auctions of rad armies that are barely basecoated to Rogue Trader standard with way too much static grass and unpainted bases...lol.

**Infantryman**

Serriously. Everything is "pro painted" to these guys, so when I try to hawk my obviously superior paintjob as "Painted to a good quality" nobody bites.

**Clayman**

i doesnt happen to me strangelly enough (spills jade green on his marines...) me and my loud mouth...
Anyway,i'd go with paint over if its correctable or scratch it.Re buy if i really badly want -that- model nicelly painted

**ironkodiak**

I keep them as is and don't strip it until I'm ready to repaint.

**Banesword**

Since finding a good method for stripping my minis, many have been bathed and renewed .

**Infantryman**

Wow 600 posts can't wait till I'm that far...

Bust a pic of the one you call fugly and we'll judge it, not you.

**malfred**

Hehe, already working on it. I went with the "screw the fugly, full
speed ahead!" and varnished the thing. And I'm already planning my
Circle Orboros around the idea of the "Hulk! Smash!" color theme.

So I'm waiting for the varnish to dry before I snap pics.
