My ships

[Greg Smith]

I've been busy painting:

Putting guns on the Hyperion was very fiddly.

I'm not 100% happy with the markings on the Narn ships:

I'll try and do some better pictures tomorrow (as well as B5).

Nice work. 8)

Nice work all around. Especially like the Hyperion!

whats not to be happy about on the Narn ships? they look ace.

The Narns look good. No need to modify those colour schemes.

I think all 3 look great. Though, I can see what you mean by the Narn ships. I'm not sure what it was, but at first glance they just appeared to be different (Not a bad thing at all, infact I kinda like it better the way you have it). Perhaps, it's that your design has more "spots" on it. Either way, I really like what you did with the Narn ships.

Maybe it really is that - in the series, the Narn camouflage was more like stripes; yours has spots - but still, it does look good!

I´m impressed with how smooth the white looks on your Hyperion; I´ve painted four of them and each has a really rough texture to it... what kind of coulours do you use? Acrylic, or oil-based?

Greg, where did you get those pretty ships from, mine are all dull metal, and some of them are in pieces....

:lol:

Solid paint jobs Greg. Good stuff!

My Narn do tend towards a bit wider shapes, but what I wasn't 100% happy about was that my white borders weren't quite crisp and even.

[Fenix]

I agree, the Hyperion looks great!

 

[Morakas]

Pretty good for inferior races

I've done a couple more photos:

And the last, best hope:

I've learned a couple of things - no matter how much I think my hands are steady, they aren't. The side views are better than the top views because I can rest the camera on something. Also difuse sunlight is better than direct, direct leaves them looking slightly washed out.

when i take pics i usually have a light blue background, i use natural light (but not direct) and i have a small tripod thing for my camera. put it on marcro mode and timer and off you go.

my results are ok.
