Messing around with the digital camera last night. Here’s an experimental snap of some FOW vehicles in progress. Still wondering how the devil to base that 25pdr gun. White balance is a bit off in this photo as it was taken under a table lamp without a flash - the vehicles aren’t really that pinkish. Also wondering what I’m going to use to make that Stuart ‘Honey’ a radio aerial. Apparently black nylon scrubbing brush bristles are the thing to use.
The photo also shows the new cutting matt I picked up from Gordon Harris in the weekend. White primed 5 Zombies and 5 Ghouls to paint for WHFB as well as the FOW Humber Mk II armored car. Checked those 40k Cadians that were painted with the French ink and they still look pretty good. So might keep using that ink for them. Possibly because the ink wash is applied over a brown toned base the fading is less noticeable?
Oooh quality photos. I like that one can actually see the details, compared with the crappy photos from your Zire :P
Have you tried viewing that image at full resolution? Macro photos from a 5MP camera are very soul-destroying - you see every last little missed spot or bad colour patch :) Kinda like looking at your face in one of those magnified makeup mirrors!
Yes, yes I have…and everything does look like a dog’s breakfast at that resolution but I guess that’s to be expected when it’s essentially a ~100x magnification! It is nice to have a decent digital camera at last. Might chuck the old FujiFilm DS7 up on TradeMe and see if I can get $50 for it!
