After selecting a suitable target, I went to town last night and came up with my new masterful contraption!
Coincidentally, I just finished an old 4th edition empire master gunner, so I figured he would be an ideal test subject. I would say it still needs some tweaking, namely I think I need a brighter light source, or a few more light sources, but I am well on my way!
To compare the quality of light, here is our ever-famous Gob de Leon with the new light tent:
and here he is with the old use of just light bulbs:
Personally, I think its an improvement!
While I had the camera out, I also snapped a few shots of this conversion I did a while back. Its an old Grandmaster of the knights of the white wolf, with a converted horse head and a scenic base (I sculpted the cobblestones in greenstuff):
Hope you like 'em!
I think this looks very promising Tim. My only suggestion would be to use a gradient card that is curved up from the table top to the back to eliminate the "horizon" line between the back and table.
ReplyDeleteLooking good Tim. I think you might need to build a bigger one to get that tall ship in there though :)
ReplyDeleteI will figure out how to use this one first! But I did find some gradient paper templates on the internet, I will have to try them out sometime soon!
