Testing miniature photography with my good old GUO...

I made several test shots of my Great Unclean One miniature using light tent, tripod and "daylight" bulbs... This particular photo has been quickly edited from JPG - more serious work in Lightroom on RAW format should further improve colors. I beleieve, it is OK as for the first time with a light tent...

Funniest production ever from the Emperor's Beard webcomics.

Some time ago, my favorite hobby-related webcomic was Larry Leadhead. You can still find one of the best strip at the bottom of my blog. But time is going and by now Larry seems to be gone, as a dedicated website is no longer operational. Thus, I decided to add example of another brilliant webcomic - The Emperor's Beard.

This one is my new favorite...

Classical inside joke, imo... and no, I'm not going to explain anything... :-)

 

Demon Prince of Tzeentch - simple web search results (1)

Hello, a very simple post , trying to come back to blogging activity :-)
Demon Prince of Tzeentch (DePoT)  .... and quick web search to collect many different attempts to this topic.

 I believe the models may be used as Magnus the Red, if you are not convinced by new plastic model. Thus, the post is picture heavy but I like to summarize the obvious ideas, before looking for something really new...

Many conversions are build around current or old versions of generic DP model. Usually adding a birdy-like head and legs/hands is an easiest way to get good results.

Typical starting point...

 

...but variations are endless...

 

 

 

  

  

Good painting never hurts...

 

  

A birdy head is not necessarily a must ...

 Second broad type of DePoT is based on Egyptian walking sphinx taken from Warhammer Khemri range. This body ...

  ... and legs consist the base of simple kitbashing:

 This nice miniature sporting a birdy head and sphinx body/legs is a joint between both types...

 

Another attempt is trying to reduce nr of legs of out DePoT and make him bipedal..

There are nice conversion parts (sometimes) available for this task..

 Examples below ar not necessarily intended as DePoT models (they are actual Khemri/Tomb Kings) but they show the potential of this particular way...

 

 Of course, one can live without the commercial resins...

Another mixture of plastic DP, khemri and HE fenix wings:

But always you have to keep your eyes on the correct proportions ;-)

 Enough for today, next I will look to models build around different Greater Daemons of Tzeentch, as they are similar in size to new Magnus plastic...

Another side of hobby life....

This is a link to my other hobby, which is photography:

It got recently substantial boost due to new DSLR camera. I hope that it will allow me to make some better photos of those tiny figurines...
