Thanks guys!

Looking at the pictures, i wonder if it might be worth highlighting the red. Looks a bit dark in the pictures.

Nice work Peter and personally I'd highlight the red 8)

Hmmm... The main thing, Peter.....
Is if you're happy with what you've got (in proper light)...I'd leave it at that.

The first few photos I had published in WD and the Citadel journals......I'd painted the figures how I wanted them look.....Then I got the '1 hour developers' to mess about with the colour balance.
Those would be the prints I'd send up to GW, 'cos they had a lot more 'punch'.

Nowadays I can do it myself, on the PC ,with the snaps I send to Leon. (Which are never completely in focus...' cos I can't be bothered to put the camera on a tripod.)

Cheers - Phil.

I guess i'll just leave them on the tray and give them a quick highlight when i working with red on a batch of miniatures. They can be used in the meantime.

My gaming buddy says leave it like that, but it bugs me a bit that it's so dark.

Nicely painted miniatures there, Peter. Particularly liked the cargo on the truck.   :-bd
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Good show! What mix of scales are you painting? I seem to be going 28-10-28 for this year. Probably back to 10 after these to get going on the punic wars!
