First Blood... Or Rather Paint.

No. Don't worry, don't panic, don't delete my harmless little blog. I'm definitly not gonna annoy you to death by posting each and every time I get some paint down on a model in the future. Just... bear with me, people. It's been more than nine months since I've last touched a paintbrush. (Sounds like pregnancy was involved, but no) So this is kind of a big step towards getting back into the hobby for me, because we all know how much of an obstacle the sheer act of getting it over with can be. (Or rather, getting over yourself.)

Speaking of obstacles, I've realized two things doing those few parts. First of all, I'll have much more fun painting my Phantoms in the future for the sheer ease of the techniques. Second, I need lots of practice again. The metals turned out terrible, my brush control sucks (party because my old brushes aren't quite up to it, seems like I'm gonna sink even more money into materials *le sigh*), my workspace and lighting are still sub-par, aaand so on. Yeah, not quite like riding a bike. Those first brush strokes were a terrible experience. Time to get back into painting shape.

And, by the gods, I will. On another lighter note, I think I can very well live with the scheme I've settled on so far. Let's see how the model turns out in the end.

Ithmaril out.
