This is a great topic! It's really fun to see how everyone has progressed. These are not really comparable since they are different scales, but still, they show a bit of a difference.

 

The first one is probably my third mini. I was super proud that I had gotten the eyes in the wizard's head and a red dot on the wand.

 

Maybe 12 years after, here is one of my latest: a bust by FeR miniatures. I hope you like them!

 

Edit: Oops, the order got swapped. Oh, well, I think you can figure out which is which...

 

Fantastic advancement!

 

I just ordered the Red Lion bust the other day!

So way back in the early eighties, when I was a teen/pre-teen, this was probably the first miniature I actually painted with acrylic paints.   I had my very first painted miniature, a Grenadier hobbit with a dagger, which I had painted in glorious Testors, but later ended up stripping him right before I discovered EBay and ended up getting another one. 

 

As for my best figure, who knows?  I usually end up liking whatever I do most recently best.  Here's one I thought turned out nicely that I painted for my wife for Christmas:

These are mine from the early 80's all done with oil / enamel paints (all they had at the time)

 

 

 

 

Then the more recent ones from my return to the hobby.  (with acrylic paints now..mostly Reaper)

 

 

 

 

 

Curious, what figure is the little pumpkin guy and the larger beast with the pumpkin head? I'd love to paint those up for our Halloween D&D campaign! Thanks!

I've only done two minis so far my first being the dwarf cleric, a custom mold I ordered from hero forge. Below is my second the reaper ice troll. I plan on repainting the dwarf because I dropped him and his arm snapped off :(

Those would be 01545: pumpkin headed bugbear and 01549" headless mousling

 

Both from Repear but the mousling was a limited release.

You'll love him. He was a blast to paint.

looking forward to your post

I'll have to find the box some of my first minis are in.... I kind of want to show off that Dark Eldar figure anyways... ^_^;;;;

[Limey72]

This was one of the first things I did when I got back into the hobby and it's pretty dire, the color choices alone are bad and then finari the last thing I painted and I think the best NMM I have done to date.

[Lostbug]

First figure (at least that I can recall, there may have been some in the early 80’s):

 

Also most recent. I’ve got some on the way. My 10 year old is pushing to do another paint demo/lesson at FLGS, so I have to try keeping up. ;) and yes, I realise my photography skills also leave something to be desired, but they should improve with time as well.
