WORKBENCH #2 - 28mm Old & Middle Guard (Foundry)

Here are some other 28mm Foundry Napoleonic miniatures that I painted last December. I took these photos using natural sunlight under a glass-roof conservatory. I used my trusty Panasonic Lumix 4.0 Mega Pixel digital camera (Model DMC-LS1EB) with the following settings:

Digital Camera Settings:
Mode: Macro - allows you to take close-up photos of the figure
White Balance: Auto (I use a green felt background so white balance is set to auto)
ISO Sensitivity: 200
Picture Size: 2304 (2304 x 1728 pixels)
Quality: Fine (Low compression)
AF Mode: Spot-focusing (The camera focuses on the limited and narrow area on the screen)
Slow Shutter: - ½ or 1 depending on light quality

Hi JC,

Great that you've switched on commenting. I think these Old Guard figs are some of the best sculpts the Perrys did for Foundry and you're certainly doing them justice.

And thanks for adding a link to my blog - I've reciprocated tonight.
