Subject: [DSII, mainly] Yet another gallery page.

As promised (or threatened, depending on how you want to look at it) I've torn
down my pages of painted miniatures and have been slowly replacing them with
pictures that can be viewed without causing severe eyestrain.

Posted thus far are four different tanks, one of which (a GZG product) I could
use some help identifying, and a single OOP 25mm Ral Partha figure. It's not
much, but it's a start. The pictures are rather big, so download time might be
a bit long, but nothing too extreme.

A URL would help, wouldn't it? It's late, I'm brain dead, and this happens
whenever I stay up past 2 AM. This isn't an excuse, by the way. Just an
explanation.

I believe that the first tank camo you painted is a Future Wars Triton IV
GEV/Grav tank FWT02 http://www.geohex.com/vifwt02.htm. The Battletech
Mech is indeed an Archer.

Nice pictures! What did you use to take them?

Thank you!  I had mixed and matched turrets when I put them together --
dumped all of the bits into a single bin -- and wasn't sure what
belonged with who. I'll add the information in later today.

Just a flatbed scanner. The Archer was placed directly onto it, and the tanks
were funtacked to a piece of white cardboard suspended a little bit above the
bed. I scanned them at 500DPI and 200% magnification, used Paintshop Pro to
adjust the brightness and contrast, sharpened them up a little, and saved them
at 72 DPI.

I had a lot of advice from a painting list that I am on, and it seems to have
helped quite a bit.
