Took me too long but here are some extra pictures of the ship and the crew.












Unfortunately I still bad at taking photos of my figures. I can't seem to set up the lighting and settings correctly. They seemed ok on the camera...  :(






I will try to make some better ones when I will have the time.
The base is still not finished, but I will get the new nozzle for my airbrush next week, so hopefully I can finish it as well soon.

Jeez, it looked amazing in the BSC pics but these show the outstanding detail too. Your competition pics really didn't do it justice.

Your figure painting skills are similarly brilliant, I try to have natural light looking over my shoulder when taking pics  seems to work once I've got my shadow out of the way.

Those are really fantastic photos - they really shoe off the details.

Those are amazing. I definitely want to talk next year about our photography rules. I think we should be celebrating small details and sadly 1 1000x1000 really doesn't do things like this justice.

Fantastic work.

I'd agree on the BSC photo rules - limiting to a single photo seems counter productive.

As to your figure photos - it's probably the white background that is fooling the camera into thinking it has enough light, and therefore leading to underexposed photos. It's certainly possible to take good photos with a white background, and it is a nice way of isolating the figure in the photo, but it usually takes some work to get the setup of the camera and some post production work too.

That is beautifully clean all around, thanks for showing off all the closeups.

Need to get my painting WIP photos and the full size pics I took of my shuttle organized and posted... sometime in July, hopefully.
