Photo Box Part 3, White Dwarf 68 and a Cossack Standard bearer
01/11/2012 3 Comments
Ok, so i made the Photo Box Mk1, with a white background. But I found a problem with that, so to make Photo Box Mk 2, I had other plans as I alluded to an old White Dwarf (WD) article as well. Rooting around in my collection, I found the offending article, in WD68:
It was the second WD I bought !
Right, so what does it say ? Well you need a coloured background, not just white. When I built the Mk1 box, I immediately found why – a white flag on a white background. From the Table Top Heroes column, you can see the basic Photo Box set up that I aimed for. You can also spot that many of the pictures were taken with a duck egg-blue background…
And here is the Cossack with Russian flag:
Now you can see the white of the flag properly.
I got the A3 pale blue paper from Hobby Craft in Hereford, and sprayed the inside of the box using a can of paint from Halfords also from Hereford. The Cossack is from Copplestone.
Also, you might be able to spot a few of the Giants I posted earlier in the bottom left hand picture.
Now all I need to do is buy a decent camera and learn how to use it ! 🙂
