AWI Painting Diary

[TinyTerrain]

I am lucky, one of my other hobbies is photography and I ve theerore had a chance to play around a bit with kit and set ups.

This is simply the models stood on on a  piece of curved white paper, shot from about 40cm's.  The Camera is a Canon 550D, with a 18-55mm Canon Image stabilised lens. I used the cameras pop up flash (becuase I couldnt be arsed to get my flashguns out).  It's shot at ISO800, F29, 1/200 sec.

Post shot, I resized the pic, tweaked the saturation, brightness and contrast in photoshop (to accurately reflect the colours I ve painted) then sharpened it a little, and thats about it.

Chr*st, those look lovely! Both the minis and the pics by the way.

I suppose that while you concentrated on painting them your cat died, the wife ran away with that nice man from Barclays and several small countries got new governments, but hey - you've got a beautiful militia.

Cheers,
Aart, a very jealous Dutchman

Superb Craig - both the figures and the photography are top of the league.

They make a brilliant showcase for Pendraken figures and are a real delight to look at - thank you

Hi,

A little slower this week as work's been manic. So far finished the first Continetal 6lb'er






2 more guns to come, hopefully before the end of the week; a Militia manned stolen British gun and a French crewed 6lb'er.

Cheers, Craig

That is lovely!

Beautifully done Craig . I'm afraid my forces are unlikely to look as nice as yours on the table .

Superb Craig

Super, Craig. But tell the guy with the raised hand he's about to get his toes crushed when the gun recoils. 

[TinyTerrain]

Artistic licence. Thats why he's got his hand raised, he is actually shouting "DONT DO IT"

Cheers, Craig

Qu'est que c'est?  Ce n'est pas un Canon 550D, je crois, mai un canon de 6 livres!  Or words to that effect.  Fabulous work

Craig, lovely work on these and your terrain...
What thickness of MDF do you use for your terrain bases?
