They look great! Looking forward to more. Keep posting!

My advice to anyone taking pictures of minis, try a web cam! I've been using a webcam, held in my hand while I look at the computer screen to do the photo capture, works better than any other method I've tried.

Some examples here: http://jgray-sfb.com/Miniatures/Federation/fedmini.html

That's a pretty good idea, Jeremy. I think I may steal...errr, borrow that myself.

I found that trying to get good pictures indoors was near impossible. With the camera I have I've gotten the best shots outside on a sunny day....which means that I may have to re-photograph my mini collection this summer to get better pics than what I have now.

That's fine.

As long as part of the whole includes FC/SFB miniatures, it is OK to include other examples of your prowess.

BTW, I like the Lego bridge. :)

I couldn't find stock bottle paint in colors I was happy with for my Feds and Klingons, so I ended up custom-mixing a color for them in big jars.
