I opened one up right away and fired off a bunch of lousy macro shots. These things are scary small! I mean, their arms look like short, fine hairs. I don't even want to touch them (I already broke a horse's leg just by touching it). In studying the macro shots, I think these things aren't painted by any conventional means. In fact, I think they are "printed" using an inkjet! Most of the figures clearly have dots, and the quality varies wildly from one figure to the next. Have a look: They look substantially better to the naked eye than to an unforgiving macro lens, since the eye cannot make out the dots, and the colors blend to become more natural-looking. _________________ —David http://www.t-gauge.net/ http://1-450.blogspot.com/ Back to top trainspotter-usa Joined: 04 Sep 2008 Posts: 315 Location: Minnesota Posted: Thu Mar 05, 2009 3:48 pm    Post subject: So we'll have to learn to paint T scale figures now as well...

Did you have to shoot the poor horse? How would you like to paint these 1:500 scale figures? http://theminiaturespage.com/news/606431/ _________________ Brian Austin Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Talking T Gauge Forum Index -> T Gauge Products All times are GMT Goto page Previous  1, 2 Page 2 of 2   Jump to: Select a forum General Forum----------------Welcome!Trading Post Modeling Forum----------------Tips, Tricks and AssistanceT Gauge ProductsModeling in TLayout ShowcaseModular Frame of MindNarrow Gauge  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © phpBB Group.
