Looking good to me.

Cartoonish? Compared with some of the historical French cammo schemes those are positively drab :D

These really are excellent - the colours fit perfectly with the models
and the painting is top notch.

I particularly like the wooden ('running boards' ?) on the top.

Well done.

Thanks a lot fellows!

Just wanted to share you this eerie photo I was able to take from the upcoming french infantry regiment "Less Miserable".

Ahoy,

Here's some generic officers for French and Austrians. Sorry for the bad pictures, I really need to look into the lightbox thing. As we truly lack daylight here.

Those look rather good!

While I wouldn't put anyone off getting a light box, those pictures look fine to me.

Mike (Ithoriel) is quite right !

Don't worry about it, Noktu ;D ;D ;D ;D....I've said it SO many times....You should see the truly AWFUL pics I send to Leon & Will, for checking, when I'm making the wee chaps !
(I hope the new Greek shield arrived safely.....I was a very mean person and only sent it 'normally'.)

Cheers - Phil

Looking at Noktu's photo's again.......

There is absolutely nothing wrong with those photo's .......AT ALL !!  :)

Far from it !!

I'd be SO pleased to  get something as clear as that !
(And I'm supposed to be an ex professional photographer....... =O =O =O PAH !!)

Keep them coming Noktu !!  :-bd

Cheers - Phil

Westmarcher

These officers and photos look excellent to me.  :-bd
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Thanks for the heads up lads!

@Techno: How do you take your pictures? I'm using my Samsung Galaxy S7, which takes great pictures given the right conditions. But I do struggle with the lightning part, as I never quite get the colours to show right. The miniatutes look more "lush" to my eye in the real world.

Ithoriel and Westmarcher, how about you guys?

Leon

This is some excellent work and a great project in general, I always like seeing the models get a use outside of their 'normal' period/genre.

You really don't want to know, Noktu. (It's pathetic)

I simply take one of the two digital cameras I've got.......and hand hold over what I'm trying to take......CLICK....

I usually take three piccies.....Hoping at least ONE is in approximate focus......and then send them to Leon....and probably Will (Mad Lemmy)

If I had the time, I'd take a lot more care.

Your efforts are FAR better than the stuff I send to 'Sir'...I'm quite envious. :'( :'( :'(

Cheers - Phil.

I use the camera on my Samsung J3 with the subjects sat on a folded piece of A4 white card which forms a base and backdrop and is lit by two anglepoise-type lights with 870 lumen 3000k LED bulbs.

I would class most of my photos as "passable."

FWIW I think yours are better.

Your photos look good Noktu. One thing I have found with most phone cameras and point and shoot cameras is that they really struggle to get the exposure (amount of light) right when you put the figures against a white background.

If you can shoot against a more mid shade to dark shade background the photos come out better, as the auto exposure works better. Looking at the photos of the cavalry, the ones in the blue have come out better, and I wonder if it is because you have the red paint lid in the picture which will have helped the auto exposure.

As always the more light you can get on the front of the figure the better.
