I tried a few photos (well lots, as I enjoy doing it), under improved lighting. Camera is just basic, but I like to play with lighting. These are lit with a tiny but powerful 70watt Ceramic Metal Halides lamp, the bulb is not much larger than a thumb, but it gives out amazing light, looks quite 'blue' to me but I'm told it's full spectrum. The bulb clips into a small compact holder and is powered via a miniature ballast, wonderful pice of kit for photographing tiny toy soldiers!
This is the collection so far. If you visit my Napoleonic blog (right) you can see I have been busy with terrain work. THis week I'm ordering some ECW buildings as well as more figures. Thanks for sticking with me, there will be some battles in the not too distant future now.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI'm very impressed with your work, its quite inspiring. I'm quite tempted to have a go at that period myself but am trying to keep myself motivated with my own 6mm Anglo-Zulu project.
Cheers

One word - superb. Your blogs are great, and I'm sure the wait will be worthwhile.
ReplyDeleteHi Richard, thank you for the kind comments,the Anglo Zulu war is another period I'd like to get into eventually in 6mm.
ReplyDeleteSimon, cheers again, much appreciated.
Lee.
Hi Lee,
ReplyDeleteBaccus Zulu War figures are really quite good and there is a lot of information available on the units, tactics and uniforms of the period so its an easy period to get in to. Rules however are a different matter entirely, most of the recent sets are for 28mm so I'm having to contemplate writing my own or converting something else.
I have been blogging my progress here http://wargamesodyssey.blogspot.co.uk/ though my photographic skills are not as good as yours I'm afraid.
Cheers
Richard
