I had to strip this model for months. It was well-painted when I acquired him years ago, but not to my liking. So when I decided to finally do one for my army, I realized I had to take the paint off this one. And it was on there good. The original owner painted him (very well, mind you) with the older, thicker GW paints and then sealed them with varnish. It was rough.
Unfortunately, the age of the metal and the stripping process left the surface of the model mighty rough. I'm not complaining, but I promise I tried to get it right!

He's not the Forgeworld model, but I think he came out well. Plus, he's not that easy to kill!
Happy Hobbying!
I would agree. He did turn out good.
ReplyDeleteConsidering that you had to work with a rough surface from the start ... the Avatar came out looking mighty fine IMHO. Very nice work Jay! :) Any special plans for the base?
ReplyDeleteThat looks fantastic - great work, man!
