I blame DG for everything too.... Works quite well, even over here.

Just call me whipping boy, I can take it.

Hey, anyone else having trouble with Photobucket? Just uploaded tonight's Sandtrooper Pics and when I try to get the picture code it just says error.

All my pictures are doing the same, even ones I have posted before. I'v eonly used about 12% of my account capacity so it's not that.

Any ideas?

Cheers
DG

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Mine seems to be ok, are you using safari or firefox

 

[Darthgothikus]

Hmmm, found another place to copy the code from... odd.

Here's tonights update on the filthy, mucky pup I call my Sandtrooper. Goth squad is going to be seriously filthy!!

It's only after taking the pictures that you spot bits you have missed! So tomorrow I might strip all the armour off, and touch it all up.
Then a dark ink wash to get right into all the crevices and finally a bit of dry brushing a highlight to bring a bit of "white back into him.

I haven't touched the helmet or backpack yet as I have 4 new sideshow helmets coming from Toy Anxiety and I thought I'd see how the rest ends up rather than trashing my only Marmit lid!

Hopefully have him done to my satisfaction by the end of the week, see what you think.

Ive only used 3% but mines working ok m8.

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Looks great, just like one of The Bantha Poodoo Squad.

 

[Darthgothikus]

Poodoo was my inspiration!

I'm working from home tomorrow so I might get a lot of the final touching up done, then I can take some better pics in daylight.

He looks a lot muddier/grubbier in reality - flash is turning him too yellow.

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

[Darthgothikus]

My photography skills are hit and miss at best! No idea how to set my camera for a long exposure!

[Darthgothikus]

Not one to be beaten... I switched off full auto! Manual focus, over-ridded the flash, popped it on the tripod, set a timer switch... whew I need a lie down.

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

[Crimsonbob]

He looks pretty good DG It does look like wet sand but maybe he crossed a river during a sandstorm.

 

[Darthgothikus]

Those Dewbacks kick off a heck of a lot of sweat man. That's bodily fluids baby!!

 

[Crimsonbob]

[Darthgothikus]

Before 8pm she owns the universe.

After 8pm I get to re-assert my authority!

 

[Crimsonbob]
