From the Paint Booth: USS Texas, USS New Mexico, and more...

Next up in the same basic scheme is USS New Mexico. I really love the look of this class. Of the Standard battleships, these are the best looking.

Finally for this thread a repaint of USS Tennessee. This is the original Wizards of the Coast miniature. In it's original form I found this one and California very hard to love. It was just fat and ugly. So, I took it apart and redid the paint at least so I think now she looks a lot better. Actually she was pretty fun to do and I'm looking forward to giving California a make over too.





Again, I"ll be working on my pic quality.

Love the Tennessee.

Absolutely outstanding Fighting6, I fell in love with you Tennessee as soon as I saw it, such a neat crisp job you've done on her and I like a lady in a bright dress.

Lovely job mate on all of these.

Well I think the pictures are fine for starters Fighting6, and your backdrop does heaps to enhance the picture, I think that's really important to the presentation of our miniatures and to be honest Ive never been happy with my backdrop, the stripy blue material I used to use really set the models off nicely but took too long to put up. Cameras, sheesh I must have paid well over $400.00 on cameras since presenting my models on the internet, and I have to say my I-phone takes better shots than most of them.

Lighting? Try turning that interior light off mate, you may be over-exposing the shot a little, I've found interior lighting is either too yellow or it lights up the whites like a bloody Christmas tree, since you are using natural light (and I do too) find a time of day where the sun isn't blaring through the window, you may need to experiment a bit to find the right time of day. Should ask Shinnentai his pics always turn out perfect I don't know what he does.


Not sure if any of that will help, but I think the shots turned out just fine anyway 

PS: We all motivate each other, so keep on posting guys.

Just a quick note. I've switched my image hosting from Photobucket to PostImage postimage.org/ due to the the ridiculous fees Photobucket wants to start charging for that service. My image gallery is a work in progress though.
