I mean someone has got to keep an eye on the dogs so they don't get into anything.
So on to the Space Pup update. My Land Raiders are both 99.9% done. My Grey Hunters are 99.9% done. The Wolf Guard Squad leaders are about 90% done. My two squads of Blood Claws are both about 80% done, and my two IC's are about 80% done. My Dread is about 90% done, and my scouts are about 60% done. My Chooser of the Slain (the falcon Calvin gave me) is 0% done, and my objectives are about 10% done.
I would be posting pics, but my camera sucks at taking up close pics. I have been using the macro function, I have built myself a light box, but I still can't get anything in focus. Anywho, things are coming along well.
So theres my update. Calvin said he is completely done (besides minor tweeking of his list), and I believe Tom is done as well, how about the other two members of the Team? Any updates?
Tom is not done. I still have alot of little details to do, plus basing my whole army. AND, I dropped two units and added two new units that I still need to paint.....
I dropped the plasma Vets and added another Catachan Vet unit w/ Vietnam style helmets and Grenade Launchers. This way, my two Flak armored units match and my two Carapace armored units match.
And my Commissar Lord now rides in his Chimera with 4 Orgynns. I NOW have a counter assault unit that can actually kill something....
A couple of photo tips:
1) The camera MUST be on a tripod or similar. Sometimes for the in progress shots I actually just set the camera on my painting table and use the timer.
2) Dont put the camera itself too close. Use macro focusing but put it further away and zoom in.
3) Dont use the flash, put a bunch of different lights around the model and turn the flash off.
