@ Argonor:
Thanks for the nice compliments ... I think "bright" was the wrong word I used. They do not look brighter in the way that the colours are brighter or more brilliant. I am just not really satisfied with the look of the photos ... they are to "dark" if you compare them to the photos from witchhunter.net or twfigurines.de ... (probably it is good this way because otherwise you would see the errors on the figs more easily )
Oh, you just have to add some lightsource(s) at tableheight, I think. But I really like the way the hat brims cast a shadow over the faces!
