Turned out well Ron, the photos don't do it justice. Really great leathers and all different
Looking forward to seeing Yirmaws Shadow next.

Cheers Del for that
I know you are coming round on Sunday so have set your free base aside

Ron it's not Sunday it's Tuesday night about 8. I'm running a tackling masterclass for Rugby coaches until the back of seven so had planned to pop in on passing.
Let me know if thats OK.

Thats fine Del, sounds interesting stuff Del is it hands on for you or do you jus instruct how to break people

Looking really good Ron. Great textures on the leathers and the steel helmet

Nice job

I wish I new how to stop digi cameras from washing all the colour out of everything I paint ,it is not a cheap camera either I have no problem taking landscapes or portraits
just close ups on figures

Ron

cheers colin

I get kitted up Ron but my days of running about stupid are long gone. I leave that to the new coaches.
Really only do it to get revenge on guys who were coming through as players when my playing days were ending and are now moving into coaching.
You should see some of their faces when they see me and realise the misery that's about to be visited on them

What you turning up wearing your father Jack outfit

Better that than his Sister Assumpta one

Great paint job.
Pete

Very Nice Paint Job!!

Hi Ron,
I know where you are coming from Mate.
I am by no means good at taking digi pics but there are two ways that I get over these problems, albeit a sledge hamer to crack a nut.
My first port of call is to defuse the flash or other lighting. they always seem to throw back reflected light no matter how matt you achieve in reality. Believe it or not I use 6mm black sponge (the stuff that is used for packaging figures for transportation) fixed over the flash or small studio lights. Alternatively you can buy (shock horror) reflecters that wil throw the light onto the ceiling again defusing the light before it gets to the figure.

Also I go to "fix" on the tool bar of your photo viewer on your PC and play around with the exposure tools, brightness and contrast.

As I say there are ways that Guys here will do it far more technically white light etc. etc. but for me, technophobe, this improves the picture quite simply.
I hope that this is of some help Ron.
Cheers,
Keith

Or you can use a bucket

Lovely work. The different textures and the subdued palette are wonderful.
