Glittergold Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Hihi, I'm from blisteringly hot Australia. One of the Britmodeller members Grandboof nagged me so much about joining, here I am. I'm not a plane, tank or chopper modeller. I'm a figure modeller or I was. I've been inactive for the last 13 years. I've finally taken up my brush again and I'm feeling apprehensive. I think I've forgotten everything I learned. Boofhead said that I should definitely join to get some encouragement and tips for my modelling. I have a lot of unfinished and packaged models some older than my last day painting. 😃 Sound familiar? I know, I'm slack. I also like dioramas. When the very first Warhammer Golden Demon Awards were held in Sydney Australia I got 2nd for my diorama and third for my single model figure. These days I look at a brush and feel anxious about picking it up and screwing it up. I prime and base coat and think crap, total crap, underwhelming. Any advice is always welcome. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Dapple Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Welcome Glittergold It might be a bit optimistic to expect a primed and base coated figure to look really good, I imagine it's what you do afterwards that makes the difference. Put aside a bit of time to sit down and work on something is the best advice I can offer, you might find you have forgotten less than you believed Cheers, Stew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
