Hey all- new to this forum and I thought I'd post these images of my recent work here- to those who have seen them on the SG site forums I apologize for repetition but since this seems to be a more supportive forum in general I couldn't resist  :D

First off my converted Daemonship- "Musta Krakish" in tribute to Metalocalypse






Some Converted Rogue Trader and Xeno Escort pics


The above ship I have dubbed "Prowler"




And finally a Supernova Eldar cruiser from Blackhorizon's MMS rules.

Welcome to the forum, Zhai.

Nice looking minis, especially "Musta Krakish."

Nice work, and welcome to the boards :D

I really like the eldar ship. ?What did you use for the prow?
My only critique is the picture quality :( ? Do you have a good camera? or is it a ultra compact?
If you wish, PM me and I can try to give you some hints for the camera settings.
Cheers,
CF

Actually I used a really high quality camera- the problem is I used the biggest lense available and it had pretty much a paper thin plane of focus.  

Also the prow of the Eldar ship I used with the base of an Eldar Weapons platform from 40k though if I were to make another model of such a ship I may experiment with parts from epic eldar tanks.

Hi,
See if this helps:

1) set the camera mode to aperature priority (probably marked "A" or "AP" on the dial).
2) use the flash
3) focus the camera manually
4) turn up the f-stop as high as it can go.  This will increase the depth of field, bringing more of the model into focus.
5) take the picture
6) turn down the f-stop, and take another picture.
7) repeat the above a few times, each time only changing the f-stop.
8)The pics with the highest f-stop may be underexposed (dark), but as the f-stops decrease there should be a good compromise between exposure and depth of field.

This may not work for your camera, but at least digital film is cheap :D
Once again, really nice work.

CF

Musta Krakish scares me. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it haunts my dreams tonight.

(That's a compliment to a Daemon Ship!)

lol Xisor-  compliment taken  :laugh:

Thanks much to everyone being so supportive on my Musta Krakish project- even though Im pleased with the other work I've done (especially the supernova)  I'd have to say from a creative and improvised standpoint, Musta is my favorite project to have completed to date.  In fact, I am considering ordering another pair of Chaos cruisers for the sake of further Daemonic conversions.  (Just imagine a Styx with giant gaping fang lined maws for launch bays  :D )  If anyone has any particularly cool ideas for a really outlandish Daemon ship post em here- any Chaos god-specific ships- anything!  Inspiration is always welcomed!

"You may recognize this one, though it hasn't been sung in a few thousand years!"  Cue heavy metal music   "Awaken!  Awaken!  MUSTA KRAKISH the Lake Troll!  Musta!  Krakish!  Musta!  Krakish!  Awaken, awaken, awaken, awaken, take the land that must be taken!  Awaken, awaken, awaken, awaken, devour worlds, smite forsaken!  Rise now and know you are free!  Bring grief and blood for eternity!  I command you to rise!  Rise! Rise!  Rise, and awaken!"
