About time I posted some pics...
« on: 04 May 2011, 09:41:30 PM »
As I've said in the past I'm not the best photographer in the world (hence my lack of pics on the forums) but I decided to bite the bullet and take some pics of my pulp stuff before I pack it away for the cross country move.

Here's a few of my Copplestone hero types.













Please be gentle.

I think you did a great job with them.

The only thing I would suggest is maybe a highlight (or brighter highlight) on the clothing. But the painting itself is clean and crisp. And I think the bases look awesome.

Thanks Rich. I kinda pride myself on the drab subtle highlight.  ;)

Here's a few more:








The lighting's a little hit and miss but I'll get it eventually. ;)

About time indeed!! And the wait was worth it. Those are really good, mate. Some more highlights (maybe you've highlighted then and the camera is not showing that) would make them even better, but the painting is so clean that the painting is more than effective. Great stuff.

By the way... is that single rifle (leaning against the crate) a copplestone one?

Indeed it is. That objective marker was inspired by some of the Prof's work.

Sure thing, Todd! :) Looking forward to some battle reports with your miniatures.

I see. Was it part of a MG Blister or is Mark selling them separately as well now?

I will post some AARs once I get back and settled in Ottawa.  :D

That rifle was from the MG pack. Good eye. I dunno why Mark doesn't sell weapons packs. He'd make a killing.

He's probably too busy with Glory of the Sun!  :D The "why" escapes me!

They look really good to me. :-*
Photography is a hobby all on its own. I have ruined many a good paint job (in my opinion) with crap photo skills :'(
My only suggestion would be to expand your pallet a bit and add in a few more colours. I am afraid your figures are a little samey (if thats a word).

Thanks for the kind words folks.

Most of my paintjob colors were influenced by other folks like Grimm and the Prof, so I guess we're all a little samey-same-same. I wasn't too worried about sameness because from my research there was only so many shades of brown, grey, beige and khaki clothes back in those days. My fear of vibrant colors means things like painting pretty much anything Japanese (samurai, anime, etc) will never happen.  lol

Good to see your handiwork Todd. They look very tidy. Just the part.
