Painting a minifig style Space marine bought on TEMU

[@unheilbargut]

I often heard about your channel in the great @TerrainByAaron channel, but I just realised that I strangely never actually looked, what treasures I could find here. Oh how stupid my younger self (me yesterday) was, but I guess wisdom has to age like a good wine. And before my wisdom turn to vinegar, I swiftly typed in your name and found not a treasure but a whole treasure producing factory (makes me think who would run a treasure producing factory…Pirates? Santa? Pirate-Elves under Captn. Longbeard Santa?). And I just love the idea of playing 40k with lego minifigs. 🤔 Ok, after talking about Santa, I now am quite hungry and got to shoot me some reindeer as a 3 am. snack. 🤤 Greetings from Germany, +1 Subscriber, Chris

Best comment ever

I strangely like this NOT LEGO unofficial Warhammer40k minifigure.😂

[@spidermaf]

Thank you. But I'm sure you agree it HAD to be painted...

[@SATVRDAY13]

Should I blu-tac and paint prior to assembly with my normal 40k marines?!

[@spidermaf]

I wouldn't think so. Normally, you would assemble and glue first and then paint. Although I have seen some people paint parts still on the sprue. I did it this way as L*EGO still needed to push fit on the minifig after painting. The parts I was painting would never be glued (well, I wasn't planning to glue them)
