Made up from a really tacky chromium-plated nick-nack. Now, if Newlines will be so good as to produce those Spring and Fall-era ancient Chinese ranges which they promissed by last December....

It might be pointing in the wrong direction, but it's very nice - good find and paint. 8)

Maybe.......Whatever photo package you're using uses 'landscape' as the default setting....I'm assuming you took the shot of the pagoda in 'portrait mode' ?
Could there be a command in the photo programme to allow you to change from landscape to portrait ?

I think you'll find that's the ray-gun off an Oriental Dalek.

I've seen this photo problem on another forum.
Somebody over there mentioned it may be due to the photo being taken using an Iphone.
I've no idea why that would cause the issue, however.
But it might be interesting to know if FK did use an Iphone, and there's a link between the two occurrences.

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

Well, my wife took the picture, and yes, it was an iPhone.

My IPhone does this - randomly it seems - on rare occasions. You may know this but there is an edit feature on the iPhone that lets you crop and rotate.

It DOES look like a Dalek ray gun - awesome!
Encumbered by Idjits, we pressed on

The problem with pagoda models is that from the helicopter viewpoint of a gamer, their painted walls are hidden by the multiple roofs.

Very nicely done. I just tilted my macbook on its side for a perfect view.

Very nice pagoda FK. My brother in law sends us emails with photos on from his iphone and they are rarely the right way up. No idea why though?

Tilt 'n' Swivel monitor stand fixed the problem for me.

Is that a pagoda or are you just pleased to see me? ;)

Very nicely done FK.
