Poll: Critique My Mini Painting

I've been on a sci-fi miniatures kick lately because of the new Spectrum Shock campaign we started Tuesday night, and I'm painting miniatures for the first time since middle school. I just wanted to share one of the miniatures I used on the first night and see what others think.

I thought I would have more time to work on painting but we played a week earlier than I expected, so I didn't do as much detail as I would have liked. However, I'm considering leaving them as-is because my players were impressed. However, I want to see what others think.

  1. Before we can critique the mini, we need to be able to see it! :)

    Check out the photo tutorials, very helpful. I especially recommend the one titled "How to REALLY Take Good Photos".

    All that said, one thing that stands out in your mini are the mold lines. You need to clean those in the future!

  2. Thanks for the tip and the link!

    Like I said, this is my first time since middle school (and I wasn't any good back then either). It's a good thing I don't embarrass easily. :-)

  3. The Ork looks pretty good for a first time foray into mini painting.

    As far as tips go, a lot depends on how much time you want to spend painting: Layers, washes, etc. all would improve the finished mini but might be overkill for a RPG table. That said you can do a LOT with just some basic washes and a highlight, along with basing your model.
