Here come the Italians!

Well, I finally got my lightbox and took a few snaps. I'm not sure what to say honestly. The box was very easy to setup and no issues there. A little smaller than I had thought, but plenty for most of my projects. Some of my larger GW models might have issues.

So...lets get to the fun stuff. I've only taken a few pics....so please respond with any advice you have for me.

Up first, the M14/41:


As you can see, not a great shot. Lots of shadow in the treads. I'm a bit concerned that the front light is not angled right.

So I got a little closer:

Now this is much better. I think I also pushed her back a bit more inside the box so that the front light could catch more of the treads.

And then finally:

Note to self, make sure the decal is fully dry before hitting the model with the mat spray. Oh well. It adds character.

Now for some infantry:

Again, not great. Also, not in focus. My eyes are old, so telling that its out of focus on a phone camera is not always easy. So once again, we give it another go.


Hey...look who learned how to focus. This is much better than the first. Still lots to learn. More models coming.

Until next time....
