Is there a 'forum member solution' to the photo issue that might take some pressure of the chaps at PHQ?

What's needed is a bank of volunteers outside of PHQ who could paint one of each code. These specimens could then be sent back to PHQ for photos to be taken so that a catalogue of the whole collection could be uploaded to the website.

I dont mean the whole pack - just the composition, so if a pack of 30 figures includes three seperate poses those are painted. Its a big job but if enough volunteers came forward how long can painting three 10mm figures take?

I am quite happy to take on the medieval and dark ages ranges ;)

Interesting Nosher.  I'd certainly consider contributing.  I can whizz through slapping it on to a fairly high standard when needed.

Thanks for the offer chaps, it's certainly something we'd consider.  The major problem with that kind of solution, and it's a very hard one to broach without causing offence, is that sometimes the paintjob isn't quite up to a high enough standard?  We appreciate every single person who takes the time to put some life into our figures, so critique-ing someone's work in that manner is very hard to do. 

We have made some moves to have more painted pics, such as the LoA from Andy Mac (which will be shortly joined by a load of the AWI) and the Dungeon pieces done by Nik, and there are a couple more things being worked on as we speak.

Hmmm, I always thought my standard (when I actually try) was fairly reasonable, but the more I look at the work of others, the more I doubt my own efforts are `up there` with the big guns, if you follow me.

Knowing (at this stage) that my addled old fingers and eyesight simply can`t match the young `uns any more is just one of the reasons I decided to confine my own efforts to a private/home website where I can showcase my things without feeling too much under scrutiny or criticism for any lacking I may have at this painting lark  :D

Anything by AndyMac will be super, look forwards to those. Nik's dungeon bit will also be superb too, no doubt!
