  1. Nice work on the Bloodthirster. I like the Raven Guard daemon prince, too
  2. Nice kitbash! Am I right in thinking Genestealer Cults body and Corpse Grinder head?
  3. Have you tried following Juan Hidalgo's method?
  4. That's a really nice diorama
  5. Nice work. The dust and weathering on the lower leg really adds to it
  6. It's an old photographer's technique to enhance edges and small details (the other option is a high-pass filter). As you're using GIMP, try radius = 0.5, amount = 1 as a starting point, and have a play with the sliders. One technique is to intentionally over-sharpen a duplicated layer, and then play with the opacity of that layer until it looks right. My first guess is that the image is under-exposed - camera metering systems can be very clever, but they can get confused (and the less clever metering modes like spot- & centre-weighted metering target medium tone and rely on exposure compensation to move away from that). Something in front of a white background is (in my experience) one of the setups that can lead to either an underexposed background (exposed for the background), or (if the subject is backlit) a blown-out background (exposed for the subject). Also, did you use anything to soften the light, like a soft-box or piece of tracing paper? That can reduce the contrast in the image. On the iPhone image, it's possible the iPhone is doing some extra processing to make the image "look good" (to a human), and the camera is producing a more neutral image and relying on post-processing (digital development).
  7. He looks great. Really nice work on the horse's eye-lens.
  8. Welcome. A Salamanders model, eh? Good taste! (they're my army) If you like the self-deprecating humour of the universe, I can highly recommend the Ciaphas Cain books. The audiobooks are particularly well voice-acted, and are often on sale (reduced price or 2-for-1) on Audible.
  9. He looks really nice If I'm being critical, the images could do with being a bit brighter (the white backdrop is a bit dark for white), and a light unsharp mask to offset the softening causing by the resizing.
  10. Ah ... 5 Parsecs From Home is a bit like Stargrave. The "Tactics" spin-off is the author's attempt to turn it into a skirmish game with multiple units, tanks, etc. I'll admit I haven't played the Tactics version, but 5 Parsecs From Home (and the fantasy 5 Leagues From The Borderlands) are quite popular.
