I'd kicked it around for the Devilfishes, 'cept I think it kind of blocks the side hatch, and I might want that. Not like anyone's using that hatch in the HH.<br /><br />The pics are also taken with the camera I have on-hand, which is a crappy old digital hand-me-down. Usually I manage to frame the shot and avoid the dead pixels...<br /><br />Though, when I have a steady income again, I'm probably going to look into a photobox. I think there are some solid How-To's around the interweb.Raptor1313https://www.blogger.com/profile/16909802419382710809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111360555104006558.post-85541254926416093582009-07-14T17:34:14.803-05:002009-07-14T17:34:14.803-05:00I like what you did with the Hammerhead conversion...I like what you did with the Hammerhead conversion. It looks "right" and distinguishes it from the typical Devilfish chassis.<br /><br />The Vypers look good, though I don't know that I'm sold on the canopies. Maybe if the support beams were picked out a little more. It might also just be my own bias/prejudice on Eldar and that they should stand out rather than blend in. Arrogance and all that.<br /><br />Actually, I think it might be the lighting. The yellow tones make my think you're getting a lot of washout due to incandescent lighting. I'd be interested to see these figs done on a longer exposure and maybe in a light box...Dverninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098608506710554678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111360555104006558.post-21639492820577083892009-07-14T13:27:09.282-05:002009-07-14T13:27:09.282-05:00I like the mods on the HH.
