New picture backdrop for taking miniature photos

[tomrommel1]

Now that there are only three older NVA soldiers left before I start on the Crisis19 ones, I thought it would be a good idea to change my photo setup. Until now i took the pictures on my gaming table . The lighting wasn’t perfect there so I decided to make a small framework for my painting/modeling desk as light there is no problem. So I took two pieces of extruded polystyrene and glued them together with my hot glue gun.



You get something like this then. I glued sand and grid down like I would do on a piece for my gaming table and started painting it with my usual ground colors.



Then I painted the backdrop a light blue color and used a second even lighter tone of blue to simulate light clouds.

Nice idea kumpel!

Did you paint the photo station in acrylics? You should use something like an Army Painter Anti Shine or Dull Coat to erase any traces of the natural 'sheen' that paint has to assist with reducing unwanted light reflection whilst you're taking pictures?

The gradient blue backdrop is perfect, as everything looks better in the Summer
