Having taken photos of entries in the cabinets at GDUK in the past all I have done is just use the flash and be careful how you frame the photo to avoid the flash reflection.

Bloke in a dress other than for a fancy dress party is just wrong on so many levels, nice paint job though Charlie, I especially like the wood flooring and the rug freehand.

I just wish Andrew...

Hi Chern Ann,

Many thanks for that, it seems to have sorted itself now as I tried just before I PM'd you, not sure what the problem was last night though???

Order placed and paid for Thanks :D

I prefer black.

If you go back to around 2003/2004 ther were several painters who put designs onto the bases, I think these have been rackham mini's though and I can't remember names.

Royal Navy

34 years service, Falklands War, Desert Storm and various major fires and a very major collision at sea.

All depends on size and scale that you are going for really.

Chrome, what did you do that in the file size is huge at 58Mb's :O

Congratulations Shaz.

When you do the final save in photoshop you can reduce the file size by reducing the quality of the final photo, this is fine for online work but not good if you were going to print your work.

Thanks Jar, I have posted the site link over on Wamp as I think a few of them will appreciate this as well :)

Snakebite leather and highlight up to bleached bone at a guess, although there are several other combinations to do it.

Problem with that is most of them are in a little bubble and unless they have been around for a while or are experienced with other games then they haven't a clue what you are talking about.

A link to the picture would help :)

Can't say I am going to rush to the cinema to watch it might just wait a while and get teh dvd after I have heard everybody elses verdict :D

Liz, careful or I'll tell Roger you are straying again :)

And you think you are going to get a choice in this matter from these two lol :)

Trust me Roger it doesn't :)
But when you come back to this country you realise how much you would rather not be here with OTT prices and taxes etc.

To confuse the hell out of all you Yanks who can't drive a shift or spell correctly :)

Anywhere but here in the UK, its damn cold and my sun tan is starting to fade :(

Take me back to DG and let me home for the competitions and I'll be more than happy :)

Shawn wasn't this something you started a long time ago?

I still like the idea though :)

Good luck at the GD Matt, listening to the news I think anybody flying to the UK or Europe is going to be doing so for a while yet.

If you are going to paint yellow then use flesh as a primer and not white, especially if you go for the airbrush option mentioned by GP.

I guess at the end of the day it would depend on your sales figures, i.e. if you are selling more of the 25/32mm stuff than the 54mm then cast the figures in metal and save the resin casts for the...
