Xmas Haul


And here are my prezzies. The MDF terrain pieces from Charlie Foxtrot Models, who I can highly recommend because he turned around not only the order, but some custom corner pieces for me.

Some Scale 75 Instant Colours that I've tried and liked, so getting some more is welcome. These were from Hobby Heaven on eBay, who also sent a Christmas Cthulhu badge. Thank you. Again, highly recommended.

Got a book by an author new to me who specializes in first contact stories.

And my big prezzie, which was a total surprise was a LED light for my camera, which I will have to practice with, but will be super useful for when a flash is not welcome.

  1. Nice haul! Hope you had a great day
    I too am enjoying the Scale75 range, particularly their metallics.
    You'll love the LED lights for miniature photography - a game changer!

    1. I've not tried the metallics... yet. I have enough old enamel pots to last. But I love Scale75 for their coverage and matt finish.

      We've had a chilled time. And I have plans for the LED light.

  2. Happy belated Christmas! I await the (hopefully) inevitable post comparing natural, normal flash, and LED lighting for minis photography. :)

    1. A great idea. Though, I suspect, that given the camera is a computer where I can control the horizontal and the vertical, the contrast between each will be both different yet subtle.

      I look forward to proving my hypothesis wrong of course. In the name of science.

  3. You control the horizThere is nothing wrong with your television. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are now in control of the transmission. :) I wonder if the kiddos new to the hobby would get that old scifi reference.

    1. If they do, they do. If they don't they don't.

      If the former, great. If the latter, they've learnt some thing new to them, which is also great.
