Kimberly Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 @Burnin' Coal thanks man! Now with my Vintage Raspy I totally made her a blue skinned Ice Witch, but stripey stockings are always "Christmasy" to me. I think the wonderful lady I'm painting for (@Amy) is going to love the set when I'm done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kimberly Posted February 12, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I think I'm finished with Raspy, but I have a few more weeks to change my mind. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amdor Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Done (Freikorps Trapper: 7 ss). Not much to say about this one, IMO the freikorps are very simple paintingwise. Though doing tiny details like the shine on his lenses is fun, as it instantly makes it look much better. Unfortunately I have to extend the disclaimer from last month, the camera eats a lot of colour from the model. I might try to borrow a better one next weekend and snap some pictures that do the models more justice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same issue taking pictures so i do it under natural daylight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchute Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 @Amdor have you tried to place a bright light next to your model when you take the picture? Nice paint job by the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amdor Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Firstly, thank you Joachim and Franchute @Joachim I try to get as much natural light for the pictures as I can, but there's a tiny problem. It's winter and I live in the north, so the brightest time of day lasts about three hours and even then most days it's not very bright out. @Franchute I do that already, my current setup is a brighter flashlight reflected off some drawing paper to disperse the light. Not too great but it's the best I've got. I'd use my work light but it's quite warm, so would require a great deal of tweaking in post to get the colours right.

Though its not as extreme here in belgium, its dark when i leave for work and when i get back in the winter, so i take my pictures in the weekend.

Boomstick Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Suddenly, I looked up and realized the month was half gone! So, what's currently on my paint tray is Marcus' box plus an extra cerberus, the remainder of Winter Wonderland (forgot to picture gamin snowmen, but I won't be getting to them), some tanuki to finish up, a freikorpsman converted to a trapper, Big Jake, Hans, 2 desperate mercs, Johanna, the Hodgepodge Effigy, a Thalarian Queller, and a Goryo. And a partridge in a pear tree. I won't get to even most of them, but I don't yet know my plan of attack, so we'll see what happens. In the meantime, also posting a pic or two of what's distracted me the first half of the month: finally focusing on painting Leman Russ! Still a WIP, and I don't actively play 40k any more, but he's going to look fantastic on display with the few squads I kept for sentimentality, and I thought you all would appreciate him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H4ml3t Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I've been more quiet than usual but I have gotten some painting in. I purposely went "Wyrd" with my painting on these and I think I like the results. 3x Sorrows for 15ss so far this month. The Poltergeist is in the middle of getting the same treatment. You could criticize my work, but you'd be Sorry! That was a Miserable pun! 😜 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 @H4ml3t those look great! So colorful! Love the blending much more than the mono-color I've usually seen on the Sorrows and Geist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Franchute Posted February 13, 2018 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 WIP of the steamfitter. Unfortunately, instead of finishing him, I started painting Pancho, who @Chou or @wobbly_goggy might actually call Paco: 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aa7 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Here is the photo of Raspy and Kaeris from me deciding what to paint instead of the roofs of my terrain. I chooseKaeris and a couple of Union Miners to paint in the end. This post is the before then I'll log in on my phone and post the outcome. Rest of the month is going into getting some of Raspys crew ready for painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aa7 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Here's Kaeris (15) and the Union Miners (2x 5/6) all painted up for a total of 25ss this month. Might get some more done before end of month but not sure yet. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very good light source should also do thr trick indoors. I use a painting light with a daylight led bulb from the hardware store as the light source for my painting and photographing models. My set up is really simple. I'll post a picture here. 2 painting lamps with LED daylight bulbs. Black construction paper background. Foam core sides with two sides covered in tinfoil to reflect light. I use an old point and shoot camera on macro mode with a few manual settings then adjust in Photoshop. I've used roughly this setup for a few years. The setup used is below that made this picture. Not perfect, but great for only using the supplies I have on hand. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RustAndTheCity Posted February 14, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I finished Francois tonight for a total of 15 soulstones so far this month (the errata got me a bonus +1 for the increase to Francois :-P). Francois has a few conversions to fit the pirate crew. I had a lot of fun painting this model. I tried out some Scale 75 colors on the NMM and the black. 7 models to go for the Zipp crew to be "complete" for now... 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
