they look like taken with flash. but without exif data we can only guess.
I guess you wouldn't take photos with flash, unless it's totally unavoidable...

no need to. these ain't THAT bad. I thought they were terrible but I changed my mind. they're good enough to talk about the paintjob :rose:

was it a fast paintjob? or just a contrast test piece?
because the smoothness of the cape isn't even comparable to what you showed on the marine's power sword...
I assume smoothness was not a priority this time because you just wanted to focus on contrast.

nah you need "Homemade Bounce Flash Toys"
https://home.comcast.net/~dougsmit/bounceflashtoys.html
Obviously, there are commercial products on the market that will assist in a similar way. Perhaps they are better; perhaps they are just more expensive.
- from my expirience "they are just more expensive" - but got fancy firm logo :roll:


mounting somthing like that on "on board" flash light is bit tricky but afrer 2 minutes you will figure out how to :)

Fast??? dont know that word :lol:
It was a contrast piece and a repaint piece since this one was already started

It was more important the contrast then the smoothness, do i tried to put both.
Has for the cape it was a "gremlin" it dosent show that much :cry: but the paint pealed after i varnish with andrea matt varnish i dont know why since i used it in all the mini but onlt happened in the bottom part of the cape

My review

Back cape needs a smoother look
Gold NMM much better then Metal NMM
Jewel i like how it turned out
Black's gloves are smoother and nicer than pants and boots
Color choice tourned out well (it was a high contrast choice)
The wires are simple but worked nicelly
Reds my favourite part much better alive then in photo

Next steps:
Smoother transitions
Softer use of paint
lesser the chalk efect

don't fix it. it's good enough. move on to another one.
fixing and repainting takes more time than it's worth...
