Just painted my Gamling yesterday, very pleased with the results considering it took little under 8 hours to paint. Probably my best yet: Comments and Criticism welcome Thanks, Jake

Looks really nice. The cloak's highlights in the third picture look a bit bright in contrast with the rest of the cloak, but considering that this is absent in the other pictures, this is probably just the flash off the camera.

Thanks Dinadan. Also my door to the back garden is behind where I took the pictures on that part and just got the shining from the outdoors on that one part of the mini so it probably didn't help (ps. i never use flash, just try and get some light in naturaly) I still need to get my lightbox sorted out, but hopefully when thats sorted out my picture qaulity will get better. Thanks, Jake

I can never figure out how to get a good picture with a digi camera. I always comes out blurred for me

Have you tried using the macro function (assuming your has one, digi cameras most usually do)
Its usually depicted with a flower button. This is bosically the close-up function.

Yep. Never works for me. Anyway, that's a moot point now as I don't know where the camera's got to

Oh, well thats a shame. Perhaps you wobbled your hands too much when holding it. Easy sollution to get round that is get a tripod which can steady your camera and so resulting in better qaulity/ less blurred pictures. Hope that helped anyway and good luck in finding your camera

the sword was very thickly painted so I scraped it off carefully and repainted it. Here is: Cheers, Jake

The cloak was definately the light as the highlights aren't as sharp here. On the sword, could just be me, but the 'back' looks less worn than the front. Still, good painting.
