Ezoghoul: very first miniature ever

i remember back in 1995-96, somewhere in that time frame i played some of my very first miniature table top games.
there was a Star Wars game i remember, where i was a wookie that apparently was the toughest class/race in the game but yet i was in the back of the group trying not to die and not understanding my character's worth.

then there was second edition Warhammer 40,000.
i maybe played one or two games and getting my ass handed to me and thought this isn't fun. but after watching several more games at my local comic book shop i got used to the game.
and before anything i bought my first miniature,
which wasn't even a GW model.
i saw the miniature and thought, "damn this is badass!"

it was a Ezoghoul from Warzone: Mutant Chronicles game.

so i took it home,
glued it together.
i remember gluing the head on to the torso then the torso onto the lower body.
then the two lower body arms,
after that i glued what i had done onto the feet/base.
and that's where i got pissed off because the glue wasn't drying fast enough for the weight of the model to set on the base correctly.
it kept falling over.
so after a moment of finally getting it on the base and krazy glue all over my fingers i was able to glue the sword on and then the wing piece.

painting it was not fun. i didn't know about primers and such.
i went to my mom and grabbed some of the 99¢ Folk Art paint bottles
and started painting it all weird like.
i remember it was green for the most part.
but without primer the paint wouldn't go on nice so i had to apply few layers of paint.
it was a nightmare on such a novice level.

wish i still had that miniature.
cannot remember what happened to it.
oh well good times.
