I can't really add anything to what's already been suggested - these are very clean, tidy paintjobs.

And the pictures are good and clear, but I agree with Dolmot, they need cropped in tighter to the subject. Also, to reduce shine (even from matt varnished figures) try building yourself a light box to photograph things in. Its really easy to do.

On the whole though, top job, I'm liking them a lot.  :)

I like this guy a lot. Lots of character.

Thanks everybody. Dolmot, Jollybob, I'll check to crop the pictures. I thought it was a nice wall, no ?  :P
Jollybob, I'll also look into the making of a light box, as you suggested.

I have 14 more of these explorers to paint up, together with 5 African characters. Sad part is, I'm a slow painter...
Daaaaaaaaaaaaah !
