Avoids too hard lighting and practically no shadows.<br /><br />Something like this helps a lot. A white paper in front of a light helps spread the effect and avoids a lot of shadows. http://amazingminiatures.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/making_lightbox7.jpgSamulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04768684644521312467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-34479604305184711762016-02-13T19:36:40.380-06:002016-02-13T19:36:40.380-06:00Nuns with Guns are cool - but Sisters with Swords ...Nuns with Guns are cool - but Sisters with Swords are cooler!<br />; )<br />Some very characterful figs, Samuli, and finished to the high standard they deserve - well done there!Evan Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107866906860803155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-2728013823190241132016-02-13T16:05:32.917-06:002016-02-13T16:05:32.917-06:00Thanks!

Luckily not all of them have been bought from Kickstarter so I don't have all the freebies taking space :) These are actually the first I ever painted.

Of course my set just added to my "pile-o-shame" of unpainted figures, unlike yours which look great.ByronMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290492763955225660noreply@blogger.com
