The Roost of Turkadactyl

Here is the final result for my MkIV Captain.  I am pleased with the final result, especially with the skin.  The skin has the pale grey complexion and is not lost in grey of the armour.

I recently purchased a light box.  I thought about making one myself for far less money.  The purchase won me over because it folds up and is easier to store.  It also came with lights too.  I started taking photos with the DSLR and then compared them with the camera on my wife’s iPhone and the phone is far superior.  I think it is time to save up for a new camera.  I am going to bug my wife to take photos for me because she is a natural with photography.

Here area couple of pictures with the Captain on a white sheet.  I do not have a grey scale so the white balance is thrown off a bit.  My preference is the grey sheet.  I think the photos came out clearer.  What do you think, grey or white?  The drawback to grey is grey models blending into the background.  I think the pictures are crisper though.  I have some more models I will be posting in the near future with both the white and grey background.

I am glad to have the light box.  Before I had to wait for the day to be sunny so the sun could shine through the white curtain.  I would have to wait for a particular time of day depending on the suns angle.  The light box don’t care what time of day it is.
