Are these mostly metal models then?
-
Sparks makes a lot of sense to help Zipp and Earl out. Got him painted up:
-
Thanks. the Iron skeeters themselves, these models are quite a bit different than the artwork. I decided to keep them all metal.

The Iron Skeeters. These guys are what made me fall in love with the Crew. The model is different than the art. significantly so in this case. I tried to stay with the stock paint scheme as much as the model would allow:

The first Mate. This was actually the first model of the crew that I built and painted. It was with him that I decided to stay with the stock paint scheme:
-
Here is the Totem, Earl. I was not thrilled with him, but after building and painting I actually appreciate the model a lot more:

Zipp was pretty fun. this is the first time that I have ever painted fire. I also decided to go with a rocket like smoke effect where it fades from black to white. Here are some close ups of Zipp:

Hello all. I chose Ten thunders as my first faction, but loved the Sky Pirates box when I saw the preview. Finally decided to purchase and paint it. I will of course need to add more gremlin buddies to go with Zipp and his Sky Pirates

@Omenbringer I setup Shen Long and the High River monks again to see what difference it would make. Changes Made: Used a sheet of black construction paper. It is a little shiny, but didn't mess with matte varnishing it. Moved camera closer (actually models closer, but same impact) Played with F-Stop settings. No magic bullet here - actually liked some of the larger aperture settings more. Still went into post-edit for Levels and Curves, but the initial picture were MUCH closer to the models Have to say, a pretty crazy difference overall for these changes.

I think it is set to pattern. Will try some of your suggestions tonight and see how i fare.

@Omenbringer - thanks for the feedback. My camera/photo setup is fairly advanced. I use a Nikon D70s camera, currently with a Sigma 18-300 Macro lens. I run it in aperture priority mode, without a flash. I have two Lights that I use - running 5000k daylight CFL bulbs with diffusers. I set the lights to the left and right of the model and slightly above. I was a bit further from the models than what i would have like due to where i was shooting - so there could be a field of depth issue. I was also not using a baffle to keep out side light. These were shot just against a piece of Bright White photocopy paper. I did post editing, manipulating the Levels and Curves to try to get closer to the actual colors on the model, but was struggling with losing too much contrast. I appreciate the feedback on the tattoo. I think it is a little heavy, and was thinking of a way to knock it back a little - so this will likely be spot on.
-
can you post the link to the model to help others in their search? thanks!
-
@Argentbadger- Thanks for the compliments. I did add a more blocky highlight to Sensei Yu - it looks better in person than in the pictures though. I was really unsure on the tattoo. None of the artwork for the shenlong crew really has any detail for the tattoos. I just decided to do a dragon in a kind of traditional Japanese placement. First time I have tried to do a tattoo, or actually stubble on a model before so I am pretty happy with how it turned out.

Monks of High River Interestingly enough, I used the same camera/Light setup on these pictures, but the red is much more vibrant and closer to what is on the models here. New Picture per feedback on photography: Original: New Picture per feedback on photography: Original:
