Hmm, okay it might be because of the lighting but to me the blue looks a little too light...otherwise very nice.

I went pretty light, but i like some lighter colour for this scale, makes them stand out.

This is a very bad picture i made for someone for a scale comparison, shows the colour without flash:

I always consider it a general rule of thumb that the smaller the scale the lighter the shade has to be.   :)

I understand a lot of gamers, etc. agree but I don't understand why. In my mind, the colour is the colour. When looking at his troops away in the distance by telescope, does a general say, "Take a note, Carruthers. After this battle, get the troops to lighten the colour of their coats. When they are so far away and look like little soldiers, I think ..."

:)

Needless to say, I prefer the pics without the flash, Peter.  :-bd

Real soldiers aren't 10mm tall. As Father Ted said,"small .... far away!" :)

Sadly though, that kind killed more than a few. :(
