Finished my apothecary:

I like the white and red , but the blue really kinda looks like it dont fit , unless your rocking Americona marines than rock on .

The pictures are very fuzzy... were they taken with a phone camera? If you used a normal camera, make sure that it is set to macro (the flower icon).

Isn't it "Americana" with an 'a'?

And yea Apothecaries are generally white with one chapter coloured shoulder pad

EDIT: As the previous user said, yea don't use your phone. Spend the money to spring for even a cheap digital camera with macro settings. Also, don't hold the mini when you're taking pictures as you've done in a few. You should always set the mini on a solid surface and move the camera. The same goes for zoom. Don't use it. Move the camera closer instead.

The Colours themselves look very clean and neat though, my only criticism being the red paint on the teeth of the Chainsword. If it's supposed to be blood, use red ink for it instead. Red paint just looks like the cartoony 70's/80's B-movie quality blood that ends up looking more like strawberry milk

Well we are missing a quote from team America are we not?

AMERICA!!!

*expletive deleted* YEAH!

Well i loked up apothacary stuff and it said some less traditional strike forces do different colors on their apoth s and i suck at white helmets so thats my exuse. i kinda had a comical idea in mind when painting the blood thats why i put the marine head on his base as if he cut that marines head off by accedent. i actually just noticed how american this looks... i guess ill name him captain america then

Painting a helmet white isn't hard if you use white primer

Ya but I dont have white primer....

You know what what ever f these guys that are saying that the blue doesn't look eight, its unique and looks great! Very delicate paint job, and on the battlefield, there going to stand out in a positive way. Good work keep it up!

thanks I just finished my champ and am working on my bearer pics up soon!

First, the apothecary looks great, good & solid

Second, don't listen to advice about buying a camera blah blah blah, here's a link to a photographer who shot a whole advertising campaign for a cell phone with the cell phone.

The rainbow type color specs in the background are because there is not enough light for the photo and the camera is going crazy increasing the sensitivity to make a picture
1. Put the mini still on a table.
2. Rest the camera on the same table, even if it won't stand up cause its a phone, just hold it while it is resting on the table. This way you don't get any blur from the camera or mini moving.
3. Do all this near a bright window during the day to get enough light. Experiment with different angles so you don't have crazy shadows on the mini.

This should make your pictures much sharper and without spending any money

Where in B.C. are you?
