New photo equipment and some new miniatures

posted by Oli, HonourGuard, silver leaf

After weeks I didn't write anything here, some painting events and the funny MV jungle camp, I wanted to show you my latest stuff.
I have bought a light tent, some lights for it and a friend said me much about all the options I can chose on my camera.. :D

At the moment, I paint some miniatures for companies and in the free time I try to learn how to paint with oils.. damn.. it`s not easy.. :D

Okey.. here are my miniatures:

Duel in the mountains:


Squik hopper, I wanted to make a unit of these for the GD.. but lets see what the time brings.. :)


Ar-Finiel: I have built this base, 2 days before the duke of bavaria was, thanks Raffa, for your help :)








Better photos of my Age or Robots:


Bilbo Beggins:


In the near future I will sell some of my miniatures for a good reason. But more about this soon..
Feel free to comment :)

Best regards Oli

    Hey Oli, great to read you again - check Ar-Finiel's photos, they are way too small...

    Hey Oli,
    the photos are all waaaaaaaay to small :(
    And try using a dark background, i think it will help your photos....

    But anyway, nice stuff as always that you're showing!

    Cheers,
    Raffa

    Ich finde die Base von Ar-Finiel SO innovativ. War richtig geschockt im positiven Sinne als ich die gesehen hatte (am HvB).

    Thanks for your answers.

    @Seasonman: the holding part was done with acrylic rods, after that I have added some water effects like it's explained in this tutorial:

    @Raffa: Ar-Finiel and the Duell aren't big enough, but the rest is okey I think?
    Okey, I will try a black backround next timem the minis look very dark in my pictures.. :/

    @Markus: Maybe this was the boom effect, Roman often talk about :)
