I'll leave that to your imagination...

That I did look up.  I got them in 1996.  They are stamped 1995 Ral Partha and the sculpter's name: Dennis Mize.  That's all I know, there are more of them in the set, which I got thrown in with a trade for some GW figs.  ;-)

The ladies need better lighting - I always shoot outdoors on the back porch if I can; overcast days are perfect as the shadows are softer. Failing that, two bright (100+ watt) bulbs as close to the subjects as you can manage, ideally daylight-balanced bulbs just to make colour correction less of a chore after you bring the image over to your computer.

The country walkers are amazing, although the gardner might be a bit ticked they're walking all over the plants!

Remgain, how was the garden made? It's the most convincing scale garden I think I've ever seen while still being usable in a game!

[Remgain]

@6milPhil: the minis are, form left to right, Einstein (Pulp Figures Scientific Masterminds), elder and nurse (Pulp Figures Scientific Masterminds), country gentleman (Pulp Figures Stalward Companions), Rufus the bulldog (Pulp Figures Rugged Heroes), Miss Marble (Artizan Thrilling Tales PLP062), young lady (Pulp Figures Gumshoes). Hope this helps!!

@Wirelizard: the garden was built on a piece of MDF. All the raises in the ground (grooves and fields boundaries) were built by hot glue stripes. The fence was built with naval models wooden dowels. Than everything was covered with diluted white glue and sand and painted dark brown, drybrushed ocra etcetc. The vegetables are model railway flock (the rough sawdust one). Pumpkins and beehives are modeled with milliput, as well as the scarecrow. Don't hesitate if you have any more questions!!

Yes, I have a question, is the background photo photoshopped in? It looks really good and I considered doing it as well (but didn't obviously), very nice either way

[tsar1701]

great painting

[Remgain]

@Pil. yes, it was photoshopped. I take the picture against a black background and then added the landscape.

[Pil]

The effect is very nice, thanks for your explanation!

While it's hard to say no to naked chicks - that argyle and tartan is just too stunning!

[Stern Rake Studio]

While normally, I'd be partial to naked chicks, the paint job on the "Walk in the Country" is phenomenal!
