Cheers Gus.
It was Artic Grey 33B from Foundry, Fortress grey should be a good match, then a Levi Purple Wash. Hair is Dheneb Stone with a black wash.

I'm beginning to get a complex about my painting skills John.
Good job...again.

Personally, I'm not so keen on the half zombies - I know Mantic encourage it, but I'd at least hide them in the middle of the unit rather than at the front.
Great paint job though. I particularly like the eyes on the one in the middle of the second rank. (Maybe they're all the same, but that one's clearest in the picture.)

I'm beginning to get a complex about my painting skills John. Good job...again. You paint?  Cheers Gus. I have another 120 lined up and primed to do. Personally, I'm not so keen on the half zombies - I know Mantic encourage it, but I'd at least hide them in the middle of the unit rather than at the front. Great paint job though. I particularly like the eyes on the one in the middle of the second rank. (Maybe they're all the same, but that one's clearest in the picture.) I do like the half Zombies, not sure if I prefer the rising torsos, or the Zombie-boners though... Still, it'll be funny to rank up 60 of the half ones against an Organ gun. |

I wonder if someone with camera skills could do a post on talking good photos. Cos I'm not so good either. A couple of general pointers : -Never use a flash -This means that you’ll need to use a tripod (or beanbag support) -Use at least two lamps to light up the model from different directions -Use a plain background -Set the aperture small (high numbers) to achieve a greater depth of field for the focus. -Use a self-timer -Set the Manual White Balance by setting it against white card/paper -Take a shot then overexpose (wider aperture = smaller number) by a couple of stops for the next shot as often a shot will be darker than you might have imagined. -Taking good shots has nothing to do with how many mega pixels your camera has. On a slightly related note - I had an old thread about cropping pics to give them a nice clean background here: purecheese.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=OffT&thread=921&page=1 |

No intention to derail this thread, but... when I first saw this thread topic I thought you were going to mention this: glasgowzombiewalk.co.uk/ |
