The Next Project: Old Dark Angel Terminators
A few years back I was running the Comicshop games department or the Dungeon as it was known. I use to buy and sell stuff people didn't want and I would usually pay them for it up front and take the risk of selling the stuff myself. Thinking back on it now it was pretty dumb. I made more money that I spent, which was lucky considering some of the CRAP I bought. One of the purchases I made was someones old Metal GW Terminators. They had discovered that the old metal models were now available in plastic and wanted to sell them. Not a bad idea. The models were converted to have some extra details and the were made taller with a bit of Plasticard on their feet. The paint jobs were not that great, but I figure with a little work I could make them better. I never finished the project due to my collecting nature and I didn't feel like selling something that was not complete. For the rest of this month and October I'm going to finished them and then try and sell them. I'll post some pictures probably by Friday the 24th of what they currently look like. Some of the models I had finished and so I'm going to paint the rest up to the same standard. I think my skills are a bit better now so I'll see what i can improve. Its mostly White with highlights so its somewhat difficult to see a difference unless one wants to really exaggerate the look of the colour scheme. I hope I know what I'm talking about... it makes sense in my head... so there :P
