Not so long ago, I was on eBay looking for a cool alien figure, but all I could find was this assembling model kit. I’ve seen it a good challenge and I decided to buy the kit. This would be the first time that I would assemble and paint a model and here’s the result:

Not bad for a beginner, I thought that painting the head green would look cooler than grey. I missed the eyes a little. I’ve never been good a painting things. Back in school, when I was painting plaster model, I would always stick out from the lines and I would end up painting the thing in a single color to hide my flaws. My parents were better at painting. My mom would paint small ceramic houses to place under our Christmas tree. As for my dad, he was doing great when he was painting the faces of the ceramic figurines. This brings back many memories.
