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
Vinny

Please feel free to make some suggestion

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 ! :o
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. :roll: Just wanna try to help... :wink:

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
