Beautiful!
Do you know what colors Chris used for the Danish Foot Guards' coat?

The straw yellow colour will probably have been something like BUFF or DESERT YELLOW from Vallejo I think.

More great looking units there.
Definitely going to re-do my first base of rank and file to make a more dynamic more looking unit. Great inspiration
I should ask any tips as to how you photograph your miniatures?. Most of my pictures have been in natural sun light but in general my apartment is badly lit and there is only a very small window for taking decent pictures and with the autumn weather, whole days can be a write off.

John,
I use 3 day light bulbs against plain white paper background. One bulb to the left, one to the right, one overhead(and angle lamp sitting on a box and pointing straight down). Use the aperture setting on your camera and set it to a very small aperture. Use the timer and use a small tripod. The shutter will only stay open for a fraction longer than normal because of the intensity of the light sources. Use photoshop afterwards to enhance the shot by correcting the balance. Daylight is good but not always available. Never use flash it is shit and bleeds all depth and colour out of a mini.

Thanks for the info. I will give something like this a try so I can be an all weather photographer. Worked out that the flash makes just about any miniature look like crap!

Barry,
Could you please put this in plain English. I cant really understand these technical photographic terms.

Jim, I never did finish my correspondence course on the Language of Diplomacy as I found the whole thing a bag of crap
OOPS must censor myself now and send myself to the SINBIN for a week.

Dave,
really enjoyed painting these guys, makes a change from napoleonics.
I was pleased with the results, and Barry's picking up another unit on his way to Belgium next week.
See you in 2 weeks time
