Butterfly net vs great white apes made me laugh out loud. Nicely done, Calimero!

I'd love to see closeups of the figures in the "marmite" entry (great title!), because the angle and pose of the leaping critter are hard to figure see and they look cool.

Cal - Nicely set group of figures (you got around the size issues that I couldn't with mine) which are really nicely painted.  Excellent entry

Thanks Lizard - I'll try and get some extra shots up after the round ends.  Photography is always my biggest issue and I knew the size difference was going to be a bit problematic it was more so than I ever imagined.  I originally thought of the figures at two heights to even things out but that didn't work and with the shape of the warpwolf coming downwards, forward and to the side getting everything in focus,  a good size and clear just wasn't happening.

Still after x number of years he's finally painted and ready to rampage :)

Thanks all.

@Olben1, I think it’s, by far, the better picture I’ve taken in this year’s LPL… and it’s far from perfect still.

About the fellow with the butterfly net, what can I say, he’s an optimist! lol

The "white apes" and the ruins set are both from Reaper Bones, respectively from KS 1 and KS 4

@Khartoum2, really nice entry. I know it’s hard to get good pictures of miniatures... I guess it’s an art in itself! I’ve got two friends who are "semi-professionals" photographers and they can’t get good pictures of figures I’ve painted for them.

Cheers!
