Just thought I\'d post up the mini I\'m working on atm. Not my best work to be honest, but in my defense I\'m bunged up with the lurgy (have been for over a week now).

Not happy with the red/white leg, theres not enough definition for my liking. Eyes need doing when I\'ve got rid of the lurgy. I also need to sort out some better lighting - this pic was taken in kitchen, with natural light coming from behind (and none in the front).

Firstly, you\'re right about needing a better picture - it\'s hard to see much about the armour etc from this one. However I\'m really liking the head - nice work on the skin tone. I agree with you about the trouser - I think the red and white need to be more vibrant as a contrast to the rest of the mini - after all, he should be proud of the colours he is fighting for. Keep posting when you\'ve got more pics :beer:

Sorry to dig this up off page 2, but I\'ve done a little more on this mini, and purchased myself a Light Tent + lights, so the piccies are a million times better - though still lots of room for improvement (the face hasn\'t photographed well)!

It looks to me like you\'re off to a fantastic start. What\'s next to be done so we don\'t all start offering advice? :idea:

Next step is going to be the leg - not really got the foggiest as the white/red doesn\'t work due to the folds in the cloth.

What does anybody think about picking out some of the armour detail in another colour?

Final bit\'s going to be the banner - whole new kettle of fish as I don\'t consider myself an artistic person
