Legion commander Argonas Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Sorry for the crappy pics, but its the best I can do with the scanner. I think the dread turned out alright, though.

turelhim vampire Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Firstly, from what I can see the paint work is nicely done, especially on the dread. The master is a little too hard to see due to the darkness of the image, so I cannot really comment too much on him. My first question is could you possibly explain how you made the models, i.e. what parts you used, how you assembled the parts, etc. My second question is that I am wondering how you got the pictures? Did you place the models on a scanner and scan them in? I ask because I have to do the same with my models and so have a few tips you may find useful. If you used a camera, ignore the following, I am sure some more informed members could help you with the ins and outs of mini photography. B) When scanning models I find the best thing to do is get a lump of blu-tac and stick it to the base to use as a 'wedge' to stop the model from rolling from the desired position. Just enough to hold the model but not so much as to obscure nearby parts of the model. Next, to get a good quality image try draping a white cloth or t-shirt over the models and scanner, as the light will reflect from the white background, illuminating the models and making them that much easier to see. Also, tying scanning the images at 360dpi (or there abouts) as this provides a fair amount of detail and the images can be easily tidied up somewhat in even the most basic photo editing suite, which most computers come with anyway. I would suggest you try and get some better images and re-posting the models, as you will find you will get a lot more feedback that way. :P Hope this helps.

Legion commander Argonas Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 ok, well, as for the explaining: the dreadnaught is based of the throne of judement with a lot of stuff sorta 'bolted' on I just made it up as I wnt along really, both arms are scratch built using various FW and SM bits, the head is greenstuff. The chapter master is a scrach sculpt, the right arm uses the multimlta from The throne of judgement, I replaced the barrels with an assault cannon andbolted a plasma gun on the side, I cut the support off at the rim and stuck on a trimmed down AC ammo box from the terminator sprue, the arm is varios bits I can't name. the base of the left arm's drill is the servitor support, again from the throne of judgement, and the actual drill is a GK termi's sword that I bet with two pairs of clippers. the right shoulder pad is brass eagles and thin card, the servo arms are from a techmarine, the rest, except for the bionics (which is toothpics and bitz), chest icon, and the big eagle protruding from his shin, is solid greenstuff. B) I have got some pics of the dread using my mums digicam, they are a bit bright, but are much better that the scanned ones. Unfortunatly, my F***ing hosting site won't accept the fromat, so Ill have to print the pictures, scan them into paint again, and then upload them. But that is another story, to be told another time (tomorrow if I can) easily tidied up somewhat in even the most basic photo editing suite, which most computers come with anyway. not our laptop, it is the worst LT that I have EVER seen.

Salamander_WAU Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Are you using the "macro" function on the camera? The pictures are still awful hard to see (Macro looks like a little flower on every digi cam I've seen - it should fix your focus problem). And please rotate them so they're the right way up. As to your painting/modeling, it's rather hard to make a proper judgement with those photos. You said the master will count as a Daemon Prince? So, it's a chaos army? It looks very Imperial so far.

Starks333 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 first thing, the paint job looks a little messy the paint doesnt/isnt covering well enough and i can see the black(or whatever) showing through, also try cleaning up the lines(as in instead of squigly, aim for straight lines) next, could you not rotate the pictures so i dont have to tilt my head? they look alright other than that Starks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/92040-my-vendread-and-master/#findComment-1058542 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion commander Argonas Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 how do you rotate pictures? if the black is sowing through on the master, that's because he isn't finished ;) if it's on the dread, then it's either the camera or it's meant to be that way.
