Mcfadden/FSU/Cards
 

If I could ever stop doing these Mcfarlanes,I could get back to the lil guys.Sorry about the picture quality.These are going to Bmac.Thanks STT

Difficult to judge the first pic due to the light, but the second one 's got almost perfect skin and jersey tone and shade ppls$ ppls$ ppls$

Thanks!
 

I got to learn how to take better pics with flash/wout ect ect.Any advice?I have a small digital camera.Thanks STT

You can use a desk light with an economic bulb. The bulb has to be a "daylight" type one. Mine is a "Phillips Genie 18watt Daylight". Take at least a 18watt light bulb (it 's the same power than a "normal" 100 watt bulb).


Otherwise, you can simply take your pics on real daylight, but not directly under the sun light. Another thing : ALWAYS disable your camera flash. It 's useless, you can't make good pics with a flash.

Last thing, if you use a desk lamp, you'll see that the natural light helps a lot for the pics quality. If you use the desk lamp at night, the pics are often too saturated.


You can find an excellent article (Darren wrote it) here to make your own light tent, BTW :

Excellent!
 

Those are some of the nicest custom McFarlanes I have seen. Your shading and details look great. Most of the ones I see just use base colors with no shading, but yours are collector quality. Did you design and print your own decals?

Very nice,
Michael

Great Job!!!!!!!ppls$ ppls$ ppls$ ppls$ ppls$ ppls$ ppls$ ppls$ ppls$

Thanks!
 

I have someone do decals for me.There are a bunch of guys on this site that paint the lil guys just as well if not better than I do the Macs.Too bad you cannot base up the mac's ha ha.The weighted league-lol.Thanks again for the kind words--STT PS I use to do just the base paint,but then got into doing historical minis.Those guys do shading,highlightting,ect.Now if I do not do the extras,to me it looks unfinished.Good and bad thing.

Wow!
 

I'd better hit the weight room! Nice! thmbsp$ thmbsp$

WOW!
 

That is all that needs to be said.

Shoot, just use the same techniques on the little figures and yours will look as good as any out there. thmbsp$

Thanks!Gifts for Bmac.
 

These are going to Mcfadden.I have done a Steeler one for him already that I posted here a while ago.I have done them for Farrior,Taylor,Gay,and S. Holmes.Go Steelers!We have gotten to be friends.I have access to where a ton of NFL guys train during the summer.I have to be careful that I do not get inundated with requests.I do this for fun just like the rest of you guys do.I do not want it to become work!Next I am going to do Tavaris Jackson of the vikes.Real nice humble guy.If someone would want to sculpt EFL figs, I could paint them.I also use oils.I hear Daryll figs are pretty detailed.I imagine you could create muscles,ect by using paints.STT
