I totally forgot about this character... I guess I need to rewatch the show.

Anyway, nice kitbash, pretty close to the reference. Bravo.

 

[Graishak]

Thanks Dex.
Now at 90%

While I am not familiar with Falling Skies, the kit bashed figure is looking really cool!

 

[Graishak]

Thanks Eki. It was fun to do this project. Now I need to think about, how she can be used in Warhammer ;-) I'm confident, that I'll find a way to bring her to the tabletop somehow.

The job is done: http://www.coolminiornot.com/455996

Now I will return to Papa Nurgle's fellas... there are plenty of them waiting patiently on my desk.

 

[gorb]

That is awesome Graishak, very well done!

Now I was returning to my Nurgle pipeline.

You have really leveled up since I have been away.

What's next? I'm undecided, but maybe the Blightkings, which I converted are getting some attention.

Nice job on those last couple of blightkings! The metals look great! Just not enough light in the pictures to appreciate in full.

 

[Graishak]

Thanks Joce. Indeed I'm still doing experiments with the background of my pictures. For some the white is favorable... but not for all. So this is what happened to the 2nd pack of Blightkings ^^.

 

[gorb]

Super cool work as always Graishak! The Blightkings look awesome. You really have the dark metal look going, and the bright pops of color are great.

Hang in there my friend, your photography is also getting better.
For white brackgrounds, I always have to keep in mind the camera is trying to balance the exposure over the *entire* picture, and since most of the picture is bright,
the camera turns down the exposure a lot - because it wants you to be able to see the nice detail in the paper! However, we don't want to see the paper!!
So we have to over-expose by a lot to show what is actually of interest.
Does your camera have an exposure setting? Can you bump it a fair bit? Try taking 3 different pictures, bumping the exposure each time, then post them and let's see!

 

[Graishak]

Thanks Chris.
Indeed that exposure thing was a hidden feature on my camera.
I tried it - results below are remarkable! Thanks for that hint

Cool sculpt here on the new one. I love female models with big, uh, er, shields. Looking good.

 

[Graishak]

Thanks Tiki... you made me smile. Yep there is indeed focus on big shields

Nice paint job!

I love how the base turned out too!

I know eyes are difficult to do especially under a helmet, that's why I wont criticize you to much but I got to tell the truth, they bother me a little, I can't make the eye connection with them...

 

[sokator]

Given the classic fantasy female armour, I think the goal is to keep people from looking at her eyes
Kickass mini, btw

I wanted to add, if you find yourself struggling with small details like eyes have you ever consider using a magnifying lamp? There is no shame in using one as a matter of fact even Bohun uses one! Even if he said to have 20/20 vision, he said it's a nice tool t have!! My eyes are not what it used to be and that is how I came to use one myself!
