This is my first attemp at hosting a website so be gentle, anyway I stripped the paint off some miniatures and took the brushes out of retirement. There are pic's and soon I'll be adding some of the steps i take when painting and paint stripping.

Enjoy

Please feel free to make some suggestion

site is pretty good for a first attempt

one thing though the photos are out of focus and its hard to see the paintwork

The technical part of the site is a very good first try IMO.

But, if i understand right, you not only like to show your paintwork and your minis, you also are offering to paint minis for money, right ?

Maybe your minis are good painted, but this is hardly to see at your picts. I dont knew, which kind of camera you are using ( digital or normal one), but its OK if a pict is to large or to small, but out of focus ... no way !

If you take picts with a normal camera and you dont have a marco lense, take picts of just a few minis (2-4) standing in a row so you dont get some of the minis out of focus. After this scan the pict with a high resolution scanner and postproduct the now digital pict with software like photoshop (or some good freeware ) for size and view.
If you using a digicamera take high resolution picts (if possible with the camera), maybe better a bit more fare away from the minis if you dont have a marco lense and use photoshop or other software to get the right views, size and resolution for the net.

Thats the way i did my picts at my website.

Sorry, if my explanation is maybe not the best, but to explain this correctly my english isnt the best.

Just wanna try to help...

if your using a digital camera. hold the camera further away and make sure it has focus, then crop the picture to remove the wasted space
