Hi All,

thought id post a image of my first miniature painting

Glowcrons (Necrons)

[]





Enjoy

That’s a great effect huzzah for fluorescent paints

Thanks they're fun to do and look great under the UV light.

The spiders look even better will post some once iv got the photos.

Awesome. They look really good.
What brand of paint did you use?

Wow those look really cool! Thanks for sharing.

Very nice.

Could you give me some pointers how you did the photos? I have some fluo painted minis myself, but when I try to take pictures under UV light, those are always very blueish

Awesome project!

I used Vallejo fluorescent orange for these on-top of a Vallejo white while the model has a black Vallejo base.

hope this helps

Thanks for the message, this image was taken with a regular Iphone.

I too have had a lot of difficulty in photographing under UV light on the Snowcrons where the fluorescent paint is blue.

With these I made the room as dark as possible used my white table top and used a UV torch from behind the camera so it just catches all the orange elements.

I will say I think that the orange pops clearer then the blue I think because the colours are so contrasting and its so bright.

MY blue fluorescent on white Snowcron doesnt give the same effect in images.

Hope this helps

Thanks a lot, I will try that
