Starting paint trouble...

[Aveleira]

Hi!!

I don't have much to say about the painting of my new miniature. . . except the troubles that I have experience. . . I'm quite sad for not begining on the right foot! So, it's a 75mm pegaso ADC Marshall Suchet, which I have reviewed. I primed it and started painting the face wich went wrong.... then I tried to make a blue for the jacket and went wrong. . . So now I'm gonna start from the begining. It's a great figure and i'm sad for not doing it justice.
This is just to share with you my dificulties....

Thank you

I know what you mean Pedro. I think we all get them when everything goes wrong.
Always best to start afresh, as you'll always have the little niggle that something isn't right.

I agree with Carl!

Wash the wrong colours off, wait for a few days and try an new start.

Good luck!

Don't get frustrated... the only way to really learn is by making mistakes and then solving them.
Take your time and keep digging, that's a difficult figure

Let's see some progress pics, maybe someone has some helpful advise

Thanks for the support! The figure is already stripped down to metal and ready to start again. . .I'm just waiting for some material I've ordered and as soon as it arrives I start to work on it!!
I'm already looking for other figures to buy in order to change once in a while the figure i'm workin with

That's a good idea

Pedro, look on the bright side - you saw the mistakes early before you painted the entire figure!
If you saw what looked all 'wrong' that quickly, then you're way ahead of the game.
And it's good to have another figure to play with while you take a break from the one that's giving you grief
