Trees are by a company called HEKI who make lots of model railway scenery. The scene was set up on my dining room table, with green felt as a base, onto which I placed the mountains and trees. The blue background is a towel which I hung in the background.<br /><br />The vehicles are all GW Epic Imperial Guard armour - Leman Russ tanks, Chimera IFVs, a Griffon mortar carrier, and a few Sentinel walkers in the far distance. There are also some Rough Riders behind the tank column. In the foreground I have a standard 40K scale Leman Russ, with an old-style Imperial Guard commander and a guardsman.<br /><br />The photograph was taken at night, enabling me to control the lighting far better. The camera was a FUJI S602, set to F11 for maximum depth of field and positioned on a tripod to prevent camera shake due to the very slow shutter speed I was using. I used a low 100ISO/ASA setting to ensure minimum noise on the image.<br /><br />This was taken many years ago, probably around 2000 - 2001, but I hope to start taking more photographs over the coming months, especially as my small-scale armies have increased in size since then!Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13312982908057794491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471397552853064717.post-10860488529338414142010-10-16T02:17:00.000-07:002010-10-16T02:50:39.205-07:00Microscopic Metal Mayhem!6mm... micro-armour... 1/300th... 1/285th... Epic... call it what you will, this scale of gaming has always been a favourite of mine, just for the massive scope of the battles.<br /><br />I've played Adeptus Titanicus and Space Marine from Games Workshop right from the start, and also dabbled with Ground Zero Games' Dirtside, but things really took off when I started playing BattleTech.<br /><br />This Blog will be a sister to my 15mm <a href="http://www.minimetalmayhem.blogspot.com/">Mini Metal Mayhem</a> blog, but featuring my smaller scale stuff.<br /><p>Stay tuned!<br /></p>Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13312982908057794491noreply@blogger.com0
