How I started painting models...

I started my model painting hobby many years ago with Marvel figurines. It was one of those things I liked as a kid:

- the Marvel Universe

- art

- and collecting things

...so what was more suited than collecting figurines from the Marvel Universe, which also acted as a canvas for me to start something I never realized would last until today.

Back then, I think I was 12 (could be younger), I was so proud of my first piece; it was Ghost rider. I remember it being a challenge because I had to paint the flames on his wheels, it was such a doozy trying to figure out how to do it. I eventually did it and I was so happy with the results! LOL. 

I then went on purchasing the following:

- Spiderman

- Venom

- The Hulk

- The Thing

- Storm

(not in chronological order)

Each one got progressively harder in terms of technique and requirement. For instance, Spiderman...HOW THE HELL WAS I SUPPOSE TO PAINT THE WEB ON HIS COSTUME?! @_@

But anyways, I figured since my skills, technique and creativity have improved, I would go on a treasure hunt in my basement and find these lost and forgotten models and give them a face lift (sometime in the future). 

Without further adieu, the painted pieces I was so proud of...

My flame work I was so proud of. LOL (pitiful)

 

AMAZING WORK HUH?! I know!!! hahaha

Leave me alone! I was young! =p

Storm and The Thing are not here because Storm is missing an arm and The Thing...well...its The Thing. No one likes The Thing. LOL. I don't intend on fixing those two up. 

I think I'lll begin with Venom and Spidey. Followed up with The Hulk and then if I feel like it, Ghost Rider. (Nicholas Cage ruined Ghost Rider for me).

If laziness doesn't win, I'll come around and fix these up!
Let see what happens...
