Xhris the Unpronounceable Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Evening all, I've been around for a while, but post infrequently (usual dreary work, life etc etc). Anyway, having always preferred making models and painting them from scratch (because I am picky like that), I have recently decided to try and 'rescue' some examples from eBay and the like and see if I can give them a second lease of life. Here's a Stormtalon I picked up - I didn't actually think to take some before pictures, but I am pretty happy with how this one has turned out. I have always worried that I'd never get anything 'quite how I like it' when repainting models others had already built, but maybe I will have to re-visit that philosophy in future...

Helias_Tancred Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Well done! I had a Vindicator a few years back I did that with. It's a very rewarding project.

Xhris the Unpronounceable Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 Thanks for the comments - I may have now picked up a couple more. And a Vindicator. And a Whirlwind...

Jolemai Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I find it hard doing rescues on bigger kits as I want all the options! Then there's the broken bits in OOP models which are tricky to replace :( (Does look great, well done!)

Xhris the Unpronounceable Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 Ha ha yes, you do largely get stuck with whatever the original builder did. It isn't so much of a problem for me, becuase whilst I tell myself that one day I will get back to actually playing rather than just collecting/painting, in all honesty there probably isn't much chance of that. So I generally aim to paint stuff that is legal/would make sense in a competitive environment, but it isn't really a deal breaker for me anymore.
