Lol... you say that like it’s a bad thing. I got into Yu Jing specifically for the HI!

It sounds like you need to get yourself a small photo booth, they're cheap enough on ebay, and maybe a background - I got mine from Hanger18 and they're really good. It's worth searching youtube as well

The main trick is to avoid direct light, you need a nice diffused light. I tend to wait for the direct sunlight (if we get any) to leave and face my booth away from the window but I guess it depends on your camera.


Only just sawthis post. Thanks for the tip mate. Are you meaning something like this?

Looks good Mikes. I realize you have limited time for your painting so a quick tip for infinity models is to add contrasting colors to give more visual interest. You don't have to edge highlight with a lighter color, instead use something that will stand out more. For humanoid models I like to break up large areas by painting individual armor plates a different color or "black line" with vibrant colors. Guns can be made more interesting by adding glowing bits.

With infinity models you can be creative with contrast, just use saturated colors to give it that scifi/cyberpunk look. it doesn't need to be neat or time consuming to do either as it's meant to stand out when viewed at a distance.

Thanks for the advice, Cocky. Always great to have feedback from you.

Do you have any examples of the black lining with vribrant coours? That sounds like something I could fit into my schedule.

Thanks for that. I tried it a bit on these Nisse I just finished. Not sure how well it comes across. But at the moment I'm more about getting them finished and on the table than to the best of my abilities.

In anticipation for Svalarheima's release (I'm betting on them being a release faction for N4) I'm making progress with the Svalarheima-isation of my new PanO.

Keep up the good work. Each model that you finish painting you seem to get better at it.

"In every condition, in sickness, in health, in poverty's vale, or abounding in wealth, home or abroad, on the land, on the sea, as thy days may demand, thy succor shall be."
"Fear not, I am with thee; be not dismayed, I am thy God & will still give thee aid. I'll strengthen, help thee, cause thee to stand, upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand."

Thank you very much I'm just waiting to see what changes N4 brings that will effect my paint queue.
