Default Post your first painted model

Just as the thread description says, do you still have the first model you ever painted? post it up! Here's mine:

Reputation for each of the questions answered about this model

1. Game?
2. Model name?
3. Regiment that it belongs to. It could be several different ones, I never put any specific markings on it.






As always, please excuse the pictures, i'm stupid with the camera.

Mine was a Hero Quest Orc! I wish I still had it!!! I covered it in blood spatters! It was cool in it's own badly painted way! Again like Hairy a long time ago.

Hmm my first painting stint was with 1/35 German Soldiers about 8-10 years ago. I dont think I even have them though my first GW model was a Gondorian about 5 years ago. I'll put a pic up once I find him.

This certainly isnt my first, but was painted 15 years ago ish. I thought I had lost all my old mini's but it seems Krom has a load in his garage!





They were from my never thin paints and use them straight from the pot days!!

I'll try and get some worse and older mini's, my first attempt at Striking Scorps was most disturbing!!

This was painted... ooh, twenty years ago, I think. I had bought a fair few models, all of which are long gone now (including over 1000 points of Rogue Trader era space marines that I just left somewhere, dammit). But I painted this guy just after buying the first ever Citadel Colour paint set of nine pots. He's a Chaos Lord. I still have him somewhere. The base, I hasten to add, is not original. RTB-01 was released shortly after I painted this and I still have my first Blood Angel around somewhere, although I haven't got a picture of him.
