Recently I painted a Tau Crisis Battlesuit. I wasn't 100% happy with the paint job. It was good, but not nearly my best. I had a a several month hiatus from miniatures painting. They say practice makes perfect and I haven't had much practice.
I'm still going through boxes since we moved into the new house. In one of them, I found some toys I had growing up. There were some animal figures from back in the 70s. They were made by Lamar Toys and were given away at ARCO gas stations. In the box were a set of lions and two gorillas. They were my favorites from the Noah's Ark collection. The lions look pretty cool and the gorillas were just plain fun. (The gorillas look like they're ready to party. Dancing to Grand Funk's Loco Motion maybe???) I thought I'd give them a second chance with a fresh coat of paint and get some practice in as well.
I checked out the internet for pics of lions and gorillas and then sat down and gave it a go. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out. Take a look. As always, thanks for checking out my little blog. I appreciate that you do.
