That's better than 'mediocre' IMO.

Quite, that bleu eyeshadow and red nails say that!

This is how I got started, oh how I miss the TWFigurines updates... What happened to Tom Weiss anyway?!?

My way of taking digital pictures of miniatures - from twfigurines.de

Thanks

I still take pictures that way:



And here's the actual figs in there:

That's very close to my setup:

Most of the time, I only use 2 lamps. I normally use a neutral background as shown, but it can easily be changed to a scenic one, if so desired.

Struggling to get my theme entry for Round 5 painted. Round 6 is done, but I'm staring at 4 more rounds of unpainted lead....yikes!

How are others holding up?

Round 5 is primed

I think I know what I'm doing for 6.

That's how I roll...

I've made a list what I'll paint in which round...

5 is finished and waiting on photos.  Rounds 6 through 8 are primed and prepped, but not actually started.  Round 9 is just staring at me.  No idea what I'm doing for 10. 

The real problem is that my kids like playing with the figures before they are painted, and they managed to lose one of the figures for round 9.  So I'm checking under couches, in kids beds, inside toy boxes, and wherever else I can think of hoping to find it.  So far I've been looking for a week and I'm out of places to look...

All the extra days I had built up by getting he first three rounds in at once has evaporated and I'm back to my normal procedure of rushing to get each round done.  Round 5 is about 75% done...but time is tight in the run up to the Easter Weekend.  Everything else is cleaned and primed but I haven't started on any of it!

...once Again I'll be sending emails to the Prof in the middle of the night before each round...

Good Luck boys and girls!

I just finished the fourth of five shields on my Hoplites for round 5. I have never spent more time on shields, ever... we'll see how well they turn out.

Aside from the shields, I also decided to go with non-metallic metal and spend time blending on these as well, so that's taken extra time. The irony is that the giant shields cover up all of the bronze armour anyway, so all that extra effort may be in vain unless I can figure out how to put a mirror in the shot...
