VERY nice pics in that first post. I couldn't make the grick picture big enough to see well, but the others were awesome! Very old-school feeling, too.

The key to good pics like the Wizard and Treant (from a photography POV) is LOTS of light.

Don't rely on the flash, I use a halogen work light and take 3-4 pics without the flash and usually 2 with and pick the best one of the bunch (usually one without a flash)

My equipment:
A 2.0MP digital with macro function turned on so I can get REALLY close

One or 2 work lamps (one 500w square one, or 2 smaller 35w clamp-on lamps)

Possibly a 2 foot florescent tube as well, depending on the ambient light in the room.

Heh [:)] While the photographs are nice, what I meant was that the painting job on the figures was really good! [:D]

The easiest thing to do to achieve a dirty, lived in look for plate armor is to take a jar of india ink, dip your brush in it, then dip that in a cap full of water Use a cap from a juice jug, or something... this isn't an exact science, but basically you want about 2 teaspoons of water to a tiny drop of ink, just enough ink to make the water murky, not pitch black. Apply this wash to the figure, let it dry and repeat as needed.
