I'm here to talk about unloved and forgotten models, we all have them, and they can be depressing. This year I planned to change all that after noticing just how out of date my army has got over the past 18 years...

I have a full write up/intro on our gaming blog, which I'll link, but I'll be tracking weekly progress here as well.

For those who don't want to click over to read, the TLDR is I want my army unified and looking better by years' end.

Without adieu, here is my week 1 'Before' picture of the 5 marines that will receive some much needed TLC.



Feedback appreciated and actively sought, either here or in the comments of the blog. Thanks kindly all!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677186/8395190.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677186/8395190.page GMT The Great Marine Restoration Project of 2016 http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677186/8395204.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677186/8395204.page GMT The Great Marine Restoration Project of 2016

They look decent besides having unpainted parts, a mediocre red paint job and some strange basing. Some new bases, a bath in paint stripper, some clean up and a new paint job will do them right as rain.


Lol yup that's exactly what I said I planned to do in the article! This pic is a 'before' to show where the army ended up. Time to bring them all to the same standard with highlights, some new paint, rebasing, etc etc. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677186/8395244.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677186/8395244.page GMT The Great Marine Restoration Project of 2016
Looking forward to the new improved squads.

Week 1 is done and over and here are the results!



I won't be winning painting competitions, but I never do anyways, lol.

This is just for me to be more proud of a nice, uniform, cohexive looking army by years end. Maybe even add some stuff later on as the rest gets painted up to standard!

Comments welcomed!

EDIT: I am aware the pic isn't the best, I will work on fixing that by end of weekend.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677186/8415959.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677186/8415959.page GMT Re:The Great Marine Restoration Project of 2016 (Week 1 Complete!)
