I Painted My FIRST Warhammer 40K Miniature EVER 

OMG THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS!! 😭😭😭 I was very self conscious about everyone seeing the results and reading all these wholesome comments is unbelievable. I will read every single comment and reply to as many as I can and will use your tips to paint my next minis! Thank you so much again, you all made my night ❤

As a commission painter with over 20 years experience, I can say that you painted this miniature better than almost all of the people that take my painting classes for their first mini. That's really good for even the tabletop quality. Very impressive.

Pro tip on painting: If YOU like YOUR mini as it is, it's perfect. ;)

10 nails were sacrificed for the Emperor. Both the mini and the video turned out great! Thanks for taking the time to film and edit this, it was fun to see the process. I'm sure you've seen it in videos but my tip would be remember that the back of your knife blade is good for smoothing out bumps/lines in plastic. It's sharper than you might think yet it's not as aggressive as the blade; less likely to dig in by accident.

This was a really nice watch. You're a natural. I expect you'll be developing some advanced techniques very quickly. Regarding the decal softener: The reason it destroyed the transfer is because its a mild solvent. You apply it over the top of a transfer once its dry, if the transfer hasn't conformed to the shape of the part correctly or its over rivets or something. It will melt it slightly. Each additional thin layer of it will melt it more. You can keep doing this until you're happy. In cases where I want a transfer over rivets and gaps in armour plates, I'll apply anywhere up to five coats of the stuff, letting each coat dry completely. Once you're happy with how it looks, then put your stormshield over it if you want to.

Holy crap. Your first ever mini looks better than what i can do. Congrats!

LETS GO !!! Keep painting and having fun, enjoy the path, and always... pray to the emperor.

Nice and chill, I really enjoyed that. Really good job with the video AND the painting, especially for the first one. You are really a natural.

As predicted, well in your way to turning this channel into a full battle reports and hobby channel 😄 Your fate is as sealed as Belisarius Cawl’s mechanical lips are regarding just who’s geneseed he’s been using for those Primaris Marines!

Finally! So proud of you to come this far! For the Emperor! 🦅

It all started with reaction vids. Now she is doing full blown 40k hobby vids.....AND I AM HERE FOR IT. Something heart warming about 40k noobs assembling and painting for the first time. 😊😊😊

One of us ! One of us ! One of us ! =)

Mold lines! But the paint is 10/10!!! Wow! PLEASE more of this!!

Gav is happy, 'cause your first pretty mini makes him smile

Its always fun to watch the journey of someone new to the hobby. I would not have guessed it was your first mini from your technique, and final results. Fantastic job! 👍😎

"You've taken your first step into a larger world..." Very well done! This was a delight to watch, and I'm glad to see you had fun! You did an excellent job of painting, and you've already learned the secret: let it relax you, rather than stressing over it. I usually listen to music while I paint, and whole afternoons can drift by where I'm just in the zone. Just let the model lead you and use what colors seem right. Can't wait to see more of what you've got in store!

I’ve been a fan of warhammer for a couple of years now but was always so scared to try and paint. You did amazing!! Great work tibs, I think I might be ready to try now. ❤️

Gotta say. Your first mini looks amazing. You’ve clearly done more research than I did on my first mini…and edge highlights on your first mini…brave but brilliant, can’t wait to see your finished death corp veterans, and your orks, WAAAGH!!!

This is the video I've been waiting for. 😊

Absolutely fantastic for your 1st mini! It’s great fun watching someone discover the Warhammer universe for the 1st time and getting into the hobby side!😁

damn dude. for a first mini thats.... something. i know people who talk about themselves like they know how to paint who wont achieve this kind of precission and cleaness. even nonwithstanding any clean up you did. great work!

You paint decal softener on after you apply them, it melts the film so the decal fits flatter to the model

Tibs going into the Minis painting is one of the most wholesome content I have ever seen from a content creator. as It shows real interest and love for the lore and the W40 universe. I cant wait to see you enjoy your self more and more Tibsyyy much love my friend

For a first miniature, you did an excellent job. Nice thin coats, and great brush control. Over time things will become easier and improve, especially if you experiment with more advanced techniques in the future, and find what works for you. A few pointers I would make: Take some extra time cleaning the miniature of mold lines, and areas that were clipped, and not sure if you did it off screen, but change the water after using metallics and going back to regular paint. For the decals, it doesn't take long for them to loosen, and good to have a pair of tweezers to hold the card next to where to want to afix the decal, and use the brush to slide it into place. Also don't be afraid to mix colours if you need to, and remember to paint them however you want to. They do not have to follow a specific scheme, and always better to make them your own, and paint them in your own style.

THANK YOU so much for this. Iv followed your 40k journey from my home in Kenya and Im so proud of you for affirming yourself as an honest to God emperor Warhammer member. You did so much better than I did on my first try. May your pile of shame keep growing. The emperor protects.

You read the assignment and knocked it out of the park. Fantastic job, Tibs! Keep it coming.

I know that the makeup background helped, but still, that mini looks amazing and especially for being the first one! Congrats!

More people in hobby is always good! This is a great video of your first mini with fantastic production quality! I really hope you keep the mini painting videos rolling out!

Absolutely Incredible result!! Learning to experiment and having the attitude of 'it may not be accurate, but it's what *I* want to do' is an awesome perspective to have within the hobby and makes it so much more fun! The right way is the way that makes YOU happy! Like the Krieg video, Duncan Rhodes has one about painting faces at three different difficulty levels and they're a fantastic guide for easy, effective faces. The intermediate level (which looking at this model you're more than capable of!) is only 3 colours and has a result that constantly gets me compliments when people see it on the tabletop!

Welcome to the hobby! You know you are going in all the way when you are painting the lenses of the Guardsmen haha. Excellent work! Especially for a first mini!

Exceptional start! You took to it very naturally. Next model you could sand/scrape down some of the moldlines but for smaller dudes it doesn't matter much. Biggest tip I thought of is for brush care - try to keep the paint from getting all the way up into the end of the brush and into the ferrule (where the bristles meet the uh.. shaft).. over time the paint will dry in there and the bristles will begin to separate and won't hold a point well anymore. Not a huge deal for cheaper brushes but when you get some fancier sable ones it's a must-do.

We know you want to play Kill Team! New edition coming out "soon", perfect time to jump in!

Couple things I picked up on along the way that might be good tips moving forward: The way I prefer to remove moldlines is with the exacto-knife. Place it gently against the mini at a 45 degree angle, with the edge on the moldline and facing away from you. Then carefully drag the edge of the blade over the moldline towards you. The gentler the better. Prefer to take 3 passes rather than the first mucking un the surface. Grainy primer coats happen with the lighter primers in direct sunlight. Hot weather might exacerbate that issue as well. The paint will dry ever so slightly in the air and not make a smooth coat on the mini. A little booth made from a cardboard box to spray in a garage or at least a bit of shade would help. Feel free to experiment a bit with the colour primer you use. I prefer black, as it helps with working from dark to light and from recesses to highlights. There is no best primer though. Lighter primers make for brighter colours in some cases, especially orange and yellow, and would require fewer layers to get a smooth coat. In terms of thinning, better to thin slightly too much than too little. It shouldn't be super runny (unless it's contrast, shade or you're glazing) and it shouldn't be gloopy and globby. Anything in between works, and as you learn you'll work out what works best for which paint/application. Metallics don't necessarily ruin a brush in the short term, but if you want your tools to last, best to keep your metallics and non-metallics seperate. So seperate brushes, separate palette and separate water cup for cleaning. Heck yeah! Improvise! Jeans have seams too! ^^ For eyes: Work from the inside out! Much simpler to do the red first, and then paint over any mistakes (happy accidents) later. This is even more the case when you get to actual faces. Ah-Kwee-Lah, Ah-Kee-Lah, Ah-Kwi-Lah are all variants I've heard ;) All-over Nuln Oil is a great place to start with adding depth and definition. Soon Agrax Earthshade will join the club, and before you know it, you're hardly using those anymore cause you're layering everything up from dark to light xD It's a journey we all must take. Okay, the highlighting is where this kinda blew me away haha. For a very first mini, this has no business looking that good xD Honestly, that is an amazing looking Kriegsman, ready and proud to die for the Emperor! Looking forward to seeing where this hobbying journey takes you!

The grey pile of shame has decreased by one! Awesome video I hope you keep painting them 😁 You did a phenomenal job! TBH I was never a 40k fan, but I saw your videos reacting to stuff and fell in love with you (one of the best personalities on YT hands down), which led me to the 40k universe which is incredible!

My favorite painting videos are ones where people have fun. Gosh it was so fun to see you enjoying yourself and loving the colors and process!! I also recently started and it really feels so satisfying and free doesn’t it? I feel really good whenever I get into painting a mini!

Genuinely a solid job on a first mini. Mine looked like a murder scene.

Looks way better than my first time painting. Good work!!

Always keep your first painted mini....and come back to it every time you think you are not improving....You rocked it :)

Death Corps of Krieg as your first mini is such a good choice, and it looks pretty good! 👏🏽

I would use the flat side of the clipper towards the mini makes an easy and cleaner clip also your files are cute but a narrower one will much easier to control the filling width. Dont thin your paint to the point where the water starts to separate it it will make the layer too thin and runny thus requiring more paint for a neat cover. I have a set of brushes for metal and a set for normal paint with a coloured tape around one set to remember which is which. Shading is more for shadowy points so if I were you I would find a shading video. Im so glad you really got so well into it and you enjoyed it so much best of lucky with it. It went so well good job. Yes more painting I wanna see your journey

That was excellently done for your first mini. I'm so impressed how quickly you adapted and learnt each technique. You really are a natural and can see you becoming a truly great mini painter over time. Nice job! 👏

This is an unreasonably good first model!! Seriously, very well done, it's really impressive!! Watching you paint, it was impressive to see how you managed some of techniques, especially the edge highlighting (something that loads of people struggle to get done cleanly even after painting for a long time). I'll confess, I've never seen the "pinky support technique" before, so maybe you should consider trademarking so you can get the credit when everyone is doing it! I think very few people would be able to say their first model was anywhere near as good as that, and I think most people would be rather surprised you hadn't been painting for some time if you showed that to them. It certainly wouldn't look at all out of place in a well painted Death Corps army. At no point during the video did I think "she's doing that wrong" ... well okay... perhaps spraying in the wind wasn't ideal :D but it all worked out fine in the end! Don't worry that you had to tidy mistakes up, its something everyone ends up doing. The only disadvantage you have now, is you are going to have to get soooo good to see the massive difference most of us can see between our first and latest model ;) Amazing work, and great video. Hopefully it will encourage people who are a bit worried about painting to give it a go! Very well done!! You did the Emperor proud!

I only have 4 years of experience in the hobby but here’s somethings I picked up, use the flat side of clippers up against the model reduces amount of clean up, back side of the knife is good for scrapping off mold lines, use Tamia extra thin plastic cement and put in extra bits of screw in to make sprue glue good for filling in gaps, use darkest colors you want to use in your color scheme first for example use a dark blue with a little black in it and go up from there helps make depth in models, i like to use a zenathal method dark spray overall then a lighter color from overhead helps give an idea of source of lighting, and use dark colors as a base coat for metallic paints helps with the coverage and can effect and change the way the metallic paint turns out, most importantly the thing that I learned the best throughout this hobby is to just have fun and try new things it’s your model and you can do it your way

Damn, you've got real talent for this, that's an awesome looking first model! Super clean.

This was amazing to watch. For your first model, you did outstanding! Keep it up. Looking forward to more painting sessions.

One thing that I found, when you were talking about how difficult the eyes were, I had similar trouble getting the eyes for my Chaos Marines. I actually found that since those were so small and narrow, to put the paint in and not worry about it getting elsewhere near the eye, like if it got onto the brow or head or other part of the face. Given how small the eyes were, I found it easier just to kind of be messy around those and make sure you got them all painted, and then touch up the areas around the eyes afterwards.

Apart from the amazing looking first mini, I have to give props to your camera work and editing. Very professional!

I've been into 40k for 10+ years and still haven't got into minis like i've wanted to, good job diving in!! :D

This was incredibly fun to watch. Well done on the paintjob! Really great stuff. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!

When I started painting I'd never heard of 'Wet Pallette' and when I finally did, it was such a game changer! You were smart to do your homework and employ the right tools and techniques, it will give you such a leap forward in your mini-painting journey! Great work and keep it up!

Great work. Some tips from an old timer... Use the sprue cutters to remove the parts directly from the sprue. Half the work and less wear on the cutters. When removing mould lines with an exacto knife, pull the blade at an angle with the sharp end pointing away from the direction you pull... basically you are scraping, not cutting. Then sand the area to make it look natural. Alternately, a few companies make tools designed for this, but i prefer the knife. Instead of the revell glue, try Tamiya or Mr. Hobby plastic cement, a little harder to work with, but a better product. I use the original brand from plastruct, but not sure if it is available in your area. For painting, get some flow improver to thin your paints, increases the working time, especially if you live in a dry climate. I use vallejo and liquitex brands, as they are easiest to find. Wet pallette is great, good that you start with one. I also put my citadel paints in dropper bottles with mixing beads, so they last longer. Some people dont like them, but you also have more control when adding to a wet pallette. Buy an army painter regiment brush, they last much longer and keep their shape better that the expensive citadel brushes. Dont apply paint on the brush all the way to the ferrule, good way to ruin a brush. I also HIGHLY recommend painting tutorials from Vince Venturella and Artis Opus, they have excellent easy to follow videos, Duncan is also right up there with them.

I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU! It looks fantastic. As a new painter myself (i'm only on my 4th mini ever) to the hobby I can say without a doubt you rocked it. I was shocked at the detailing and everything you rocked for your first time. Already miles better than me. I can't wait to see more like this and how your talent grows as you work on more. YAY! 💕💕💕💕

Great mini! I know people that have been painting for a decade that can't get that good of a result! All those things you said about the mini not being so small in your hands, and the world not being so there, that's one of the reasons so many of us love the hobby! Again, wonderful, for anyone, but for a first min, that's outstanding! Noticed a few things that might help make things a little easier for your next few though, so my tips! Decal softener you put on the top of the decal after putting it on the model. It melts the edges away so you don't see the transfer carrier (the clear edge that you can just bairly see around the markings). That's why it melted your decal, that's what it does :) For paint thining, you did just fine! If anything you could thin it a bit more, your whole drop on the pallet. Work it around as you're using it to keep it consistent. When you're edge highlighting, it helps a bit to keep the brush or your paint a little wetter, not terribly so, just you want your paint to flow easily. I find it helps to pull down and towards myself when trying to paint a straight line can help. You're right about your pinky finger! An anchor helps a lot too when highlighting, another trick to anchor is to press you wrists together, but that can get cramped. Elbow braced on your desk can steady hands from shaking as well. Try to keep paint only on the first like %20-40 of the brush. The more that gets up into the metal part the faster it will wear out and start to fan out.

really good job for painting your first mini, and your first one will always be special to you. so gg and have fun with putting more paint on more minis :)

That looks amazing, especially for your first mini! I've been in the hobby for twenty years collecting, assembling and playing and absorbing as much lore as possible (white dwarf, black library etc). I only started painting in January this year though. Already better now than six months ago. Just keep painting and you'll be amazed at what you can do. Welcome to the greatest hobby in the world.

I wasn't sure you were going to paint any minis and just liked buying stuff. Im glad you took the plunge and it turned out super good :) I'm proud of you

Strong effort for a first mini. Always fun seeing folks learning and having fun.

As your first painted model, that is amazing. You should be really proud, well done! Highlighting only gets more stressful lol

This was like a time travel session to my very first mini. Building and especially painting took me so long, but in a positive way. So relaxing, that I forgot time :D Regards.

Whether you play the game or not, painting minis are a great stress reliever. The feeling of accomplishment is awesome.

You did so GOOD! This was a delight to watch, I love watching peoples fist steps into the hobby. For a first miniature you are leaps and bounds ahead of most people and your paint scheme looked really nice as well. Also the "radio" is part of the gas mask filter. If you wanted to try some advanced painting techniques; the gun he has is a plasma pistol and there are some really cool techniques to make the ridges on the top look like they are glowing with heat (which they do in lore), but getting the effect to looks right can be quite difficult.

More painting videos, definitely! I appreciate if you feel like you don’t have much to offer the viewers as a beginner, but that’s the best bit! I’ve loved seeing your journey into the hobby so far and I guarantee there plenty of people that want to continue seeing your journey going forward. Reading the comments, it looks like you’ve already inspired others to pick up a brush and that’s great! You done great for your first time! Well done! 👏🏻 Only tips: To keep your brushes in shape for longer, try to keep the paint on the bottom half of the bristles. You don’t want paint getting into the ferrule (metal part). If you do, give it a thorough rinse and clean straight away. It’s also good to keep rinsing your brush every minute whilst painting. As for thinning your paints. There’s nothing wrong with how thin your paints were. There’s also no right or wrong way to thin paints. Thinner paints will stop you blocking up all the details but will take an extra coat or two. Thicker paints are also great for freehand work or smaller details that are harder to apply multiple coats. The more you paint, the more experienced you’ll be and you will understand how thick or thin you want your paints. ❤

Beautiful result. Unbelievable what people can do nowadays. When I look back at my first minis 28 years ago this would have been golden demon material.

It actually looks pretty damn good, color me impressed!

I’ve been in the hobby what 5-7 years now I have never seen a first time mini with such a quality paint job in the words of a famous galactic senator ‘we shall watch your career with great interest’

You did a fantastic job with your first model! Aside from missing some mold lines during construction, you are on your way to painting a great looking Warhammer.

Looks miles better than my first mini. You make Krieg proud, soldier! Congrats and keep it up! You definitely have talent.

That looks amazing! I wouldn't believe that is your first mini painted. I still don't do highlights. Keep it up. By the time you get an army on the table (you got to do it at least once). You'll blow everyone away with how amazing your army will be painted. You'll find a majority do the "battle-ready" paint job. You did "Parade-ready" and it'd put other armies to shame. Great job!

Hans turned out so damn good! You killed it Tibs

Your research really paid off! It's actually crazy how much information you absorbed from all your reaction videos. As I'm sure others have mentioned by now, if you're enjoying yourself and the outcome, it's perfect, better than perfect, it's your own personal golden demon. Can't wait to see where this takes you!

The Intro alone got me into Gear :D And you choose the right Music Segments!

5:30 Painting in sub assemblies is really useful on miniatures with intricate details like these. Also, the glue is less a glue and more of a solvent, it actually softens the plastic where you put it and when two pieces are pushed together, the softened plastic on each piece bond together almost like a wield.

And that's your FIRST one?!? I do believe you may be a natural!

Wow! That's a great looking first mini! Save him forever as a marker for your progress. You even put a decal on him - I've been painting for 2 years and haven't gone that far. It's been amazing seeing you grow into the 40k fandom from watching the lore videos to now actually painting the lil dudes! Hope you found it enjoyable and creative!

Well, congratulation. The sole thing I would say is : keep it dearly, it's the first you did and lots of memories are attached to it, and I'm absolutely sure you'll be pleased to find it in ten years and to remember this time of your life. It's a memento and it's precious ^^ I wish I could keep my first model kit but, well, life...

It's so nice to see someone starting his journey like that :) I wonder how your minis will look like with more experience! Or in several years of painting!

Now, this Painted Model Looks absolutly Fantastic, as a Miniature painter myself i'm actually blown away this is Your first Model, i have some tips to make it even Look better but that comes with the time, it's important You get the Feel for it You allready have and enjoy

He turned out awesome! I haven’t finished painting my minis yet, I hope to get to them again soon. If you find shaking the paints is annoying, look into something like a Vortex Mixer Shaker, you can use it to shake up your nail polish too! 😊

Wow, for your first mini that was REALLY good. I can see you were well prepared, compliments.

honestly as a first mini that is excellent. I can see you have clearly watched lots of tutorials to learn all the techniques. I hope you keep going because with this start I think you could be very good very quickly :)

That is so well done. Especially for your first try. Keep it up and you'll be competing in no time. I love how you feel attached to him. There's always something special by finishing a mini, knowing that you did this.

This is great. I just recently painted my first mini as well and literally felt the exact same way you did through this whole video. Luckily mine turned out better than I expected! Your mini looks perfect! Now we dive in.

Love Love Love!! You did so Good!! 🥳✨🎉

After just randomly finding this video, good lord that's impressive. My first thought was like "No way that's her first Mini!" As someone who has been painting for 2 years and is still struggling to get that clean of a result.

Congratulations on the mini/Hans and the video itself! It's really engaging; fun and good to follow. You've learned a lot from both processes and so could others! A good example is how you noticed the knee's mould line while watching footage back. I've seen some pretty accomplished mini painters talk about this sort of thing happen to them, so you're in good company! This is a bit like how some musicians level up once they've heard themselves in the studio. :) Grey primer was another great early choice under these colours, and if you feel that way too, it may be wise to find a pot of the same colour (as whichever primer you end up using often) so you can scrape any mould lines you spot and cover up if need be. That said, you're going beyond just learning every process, and learning lots already. Remember, most gear used by any Guard regiment is mass produced, and a lot of it might have seams - like the back of the boots - or mould lines that can be where they are on the mini, so there's more reason to live with some of those hehe. Ahh, I should've made some notes, to do your video justice, tibs 😅 If you watch more videos, you might notice certain painters have a meta of sorts about which shades to use over certain colours, and/or parts. Even so, exceptions can be made! An obvious alternative is to try Agrax Earthshade on some or even all parts of a soldier like this. That'd give a trench mud vibe, and the studio even uses brown shade on stuff like Space Wolves armour, but again, you don't have to go for obvious ideas every time. :) Nuln Oil worked well here as unifying shade and grime, and your application looked really intuitive! Speaking of grime, if you want to get into that, maybe try Ratling Grime from Citadel, sometime haha. If you find that shades leave surfaces like cloth too shiny, you can experiment with matte varnishes too... Good uhhh point 😉 about the fine highlights, though I really like the broad ones you painted on places like the knees too! It's cool to see how your makeup skills work here, and I can imagine different aspects of that will serve you well when painting faces. I generally don't go on about things being underrated etc, but Skavenblight Dinge seems like a paint that's easy to overlook, yet so versatile! As for paint thinning, it'd be slightly easier to be sure if everyyyy move was showed but that might slow the video down, so no worries really. The only one I'd try slightly thinner in future is the gold on those tiny skulls, but of course it can be handy to experiment, thinning paints to a wash consistency for faces etc when you're ready! Great job with the transfer too! Of course white won't stand out so much over metallic grey, but it's realistic. Realism and visibility are factors you'll probably ponder on any projects... 😌 Anyway, I could go on but that's probably heaps for now! Congratulations again, tibs!

It look really good! I loved your comment about how knowledge of makeup helps with highlighting the miniature. That’s spot on!

It's really fun listening to your stream of consciousness about the process, I have painted several Warhammer armies and I still have these same thoughts all the time.

awesome! you went for it and have a first mini you can be really proud of! cant wait to see more!

HOLY COW!! For a first mini that is unbelievably good! Way better than my first minis. Also, this is by far tour best video. I can't wait to see how your painting progresses.

So proud of you! ❤ Once you get into that painter's zone you will always surprise yourself of coming up with all sorts of solutions. Fantastic job for your first mini!

YOO!!!! You did such a great job! This is really impressive for your first mini. Hell, some people never get to this level. You're a natural!

Lovely! Much better than my first mini, I can tell you that. Glad you enjoyed the painting process, and Im excited to see what else you do!

WOW your painting is Soo good for the first time keep going love to see more of what you've painted

One thing you already kinda did towards the end, is resting your hands on each other while painting (though I have to admit, that I regularly forget to do this myself due to being too immersed in painting). It helps stabilizing your hands and being less shaky. Something that helps me immensely, is to make something like a roadmap for the colours, and be it just a mental one. Before you start to paint, take a moment, look at the mini, make a mental note what parts will have what colour, and plan out when to use what colour (I hope that makes sense?). That helps somewhat, at least me, to not jump between colours all the time. I heard somewhere, that apparently it should be easier to use something like toothpicks to paint the eyes, but haven't tried it yet. The thing with the nails is probably just a skill issue. I tend to have long nails (about the length you had at the start of the video, or even a bit longer), mostly just because I'm too lazy to cut my nails all the time, and usually it works just fine. It takes some getting used to and working out how to do things so it doesn't get in the way, but its doable. Though that could also be due to me having trained to become a Goldsmith, where I used my long nails both to hold small things and as a sort of protection: I much prefer sawing, filing, etc, to take off my nails, instead of taking off my skin.

Damn! Very good job on your first miniature! The video is also edited very nicely.

Hans turned up great! Bravo! I paint most of my minis sub-assembled, so you are right it is indeed easier to paint some minis if they are not fully assembled

Your first time painting? Such a good job, you should be proud 💪🏻 get some reading glasses or magnifiers, it’s not cheating. Good luck on your journey 😁

You have made the Emperor proud!!! Awesome paint job for your first mini! keep it up!

Finally, Tibs Mini Painting video...

This is an amazing job for your first try!! You are leaps and bounds ahead of me already and Ive been paining for years. Time to pack my paints up I think.
