**EzeKK**

A little hard to tell what it truly looks like from the pics but it looks amazing to me now lol.

**Kanluwen**

Yeah, I gotta work on my phototakin' skillz more I guess

**Gaebriel**

**Kanluwen**

Well, I guess people like it

And Gabe:
I needed to get it back because this was the first thing I've seriously painted in a good five or six months

Good to know it got a great reception though.

Your "light box" needs more light but as to the paint

**KingCracker**

Also you box needs to be lined in white paper. That way the camera focuses on the mini. It truly looks real good man. Nice work

**Wrexasaur**

You must have been the one missing, because your skills are obviously still here.

Yeah, I had an older mailorder box that I sprayed pure white for that reason alone, but it seems to have vanished. Fixing that as we speak though

**Battle Brother Loken**

Can i get your painting skills?

Amazing work man

**Kanluwen**

Fiddling around with the new, improved lightbox(aka a Gale Force 9 hobby tool box...with paper stapled in!) and seeing if avoiding using the auto adjust feature will make it look better, I present the second batch of pictures

The irony on the last picture is that the sword is 100% straightened, as I made dang sure to do that before ever attaching the swordarm. It's just a weeeeeiiird camera angle.

**Stump**

uhm...I found your paint skill and if its better then what you are posting in these pics YOU CAN NOT HAVE IT BACK!!

I just need to figure out how to use them now.

**Wrexasaur**

With some intimate photography I could point a few errors out, but that is far from necessary.

Why do your pics dates show up in English dating standard (or however you deem to say such a statement).

03/07/09 means July 3, 2009 but in America it means... and now for something completely different. A monkey in a top hat, dancing on a drunken clown.

"Note"
Upload your photos onto the Dakka Dakka gallery or directly into your posts, it is well worth it.

"...We will eat your braaaaiiiinnnn....."
"Shut up, he is almost in the door"

**Kanluwen**

Wrex, they are in the gallery

And the pic dates show up because I fiddled with it some time ago, but can't remember how to get it back to 'normal'.

You know how fiddling ends
