Hey guys as the title says these are my Gd Pin winning Carnosaur and Cult mechanicus.

A bit of a last minute decision to go and a rush at the end and I got there and was happy with the pins.....

Started these with the intention of entering GD then stopped doing them when I though I wasn\'t going then blasted on with them for the comp..

Have started my next years entries about a month ago and be warned there is a trophy of some colour with my name on it...:beer:

The other models are some fun bit\'s I have done a lately...

Would like to take this chance to thank Among others Avelorn whose advice has helped me get better with pics and something more like how the models actually look.

let me know what you think Guys..
cheers
Rob

demonherald, this is my honest critique, if my memory serves me well, the mechanicus cultist, was in a wip thread on here. I saw it and thought that the close shots were so much better than the long range shots, and showed the piece in all its glory, but the voting ones do not do it justice, although they are the best shots out of the lot. I think untill you get better at photography, your scores will suffer, as the shots shown are all people can vote on.
carnosaur; background is terrible, and the wrong colour for the mini.
mechanicus cultist; by far the best piece, but photos dont do it justice, even now.
menoth crusader; a bit dull, but I love the freehand
gideon Lorr; cant see the details, far too dark
asp champ; again far too dark, which does not help us see the details.

I hope this does not offend you, I\'m trying to help, I can see you can paint very well, but can the average punter flicking through, voting.
All the best
:innocent:

chers Krom....And thanks ..I am working on my photoing.....light is a real problem at the minute...
I will be reshooting a few this week and see if I can get a truer reflection of the minis in question....

definitey need to get to grips with that side of things .. Not worried about scores but would like a true reflection of the minis to give them a fair shout..

Thanks again and don\'t know how you feel that could have been viewed as causing offense....

They have finalist\'s badges over there. I don\'t think the US GD\'s do that. What a rip. I\'d like to have pins for my finalist models. :D BTW great work on all. I especially love the Mechanicus dude. The WIP pics were better though as stated above.

Definately some good stuff there. Well done on making the final cut.

Carnosaur - It\'s a really good looking pose full of menace. I think that the tones of the rider and the carnasour could do with rather more variation to set them apart a bit though.

Cultist - This has a great feel to it (very John Blanche in its style) and the metalics are good. The one thing that isn\'t quite as good as the rest of the model is the robes. The way you have built them up doesn\'t quite look as natural as it should. It doesn\'t give me the impression that the body beneath has the right shape. I still like it a lot though.

Crusader - The freehand on the white is nice and subtle but looks clean and smooth. The highlights on the nmm are a little bit too sharp and could do with being a little bit smoother and a bit more contrast in the steel would work. The base is cool.

Gideon Lorr - I really like him a lot. The colours are nice and different to the majority of versions I\'ve seen of him and the little yellow accents work too.

Chaos - Is this limited edition because it is a conversion? I never saw that version of the model so I assume it is. If so I\'m not terribly keen to be honest, it\'s a bit too over the top. Considering the paint job was done in an hour it is very good though.

I really like the Cultest. Iono the Chaos piece is the old Army deal figure its a crap sculpt (not knocking the paint job!).

Cheers Iono...
As Neil Says it is the Model that came with the army deal..Not keen on the sculpt myself it\'s been sat at my desk for about 2 years and I just couldn\'t bring myself to paint it that\'s why I took it for the speed painting comp.

Cheers for the other input guys.. Hopefully will have some better pics soon as some of these are a bit ropey. Still new to photography..

Philologus..They introduced the badges last year I think. Teeny weeny little lapel pins but a good idea I reckon the Cmoner\'s have got enough between them to make a scale mail coat...:beer:
