Lord Mercat's Big Thread of Everything Imaginable

[Swordsalmon]

My gosh, poor Billy managed to be even more unfortunate than Jim the Pirate!

Everything is awesome and crazy over-the-top. I want to see more now!

First, those banditos have to be one of my favorite factions, just because of the flavour. Have you considered making some of them ride velocaraptors, like in Dr. Mcninja?

Awesome windcutter technique!

Not until you just mentioned it now, actually. However that is indeed a fantastic idea. I just may do this, however since these are Space Banditos, it will have to be robot/cyborg velocaraptors!

The other issue I'm seeing is heavy jpeg compression, which really shows its artifacting wherever there are red or transparent-orange elements. Check to see if your camera has a setting for image compression / image quality in any of its menus. These minifigs are so nicely customized and the vignettes so well set up and framed, everything's right where you want it if you can just give the image quality that last little boost.

I just checked my camera, I have a canon powershot SD780 IS, it only has two compression settings, "normal" and "fine", It's been on "fine" for all the images I've taken, so I'll probably need a new camera to fix that issue. I'll definitely be working on improving lighting as soon as possible however.

Bloody.

Hell.

Anybody who says this is too much needs to add more dakka to their army.

I salute you, Lord. Show us the epic.

Am I the only one that thinks the OT Chainsword could be considered a hyper weapon?

[Alex]

this is epic! Hat's off to you sir.

[Lord Mercat]

And, good news everyone! I scored a new (professionally refurbished, capable of taking pictures in RAW) camera at a sweet price! That, combined with the poor man's light box I am constructing should insure the highest quality photos for all of my upcoming creations!

Had thought about this, but I didn't want to claim it as such. I didn't think you could claim something as a hyper or super weapon unless it was vehicle mounted (and huge). It DOES (or will when I get around to writing them up), have monstrous stats though.

I didn't even read the text. I just looked at the pictures. My head hurts.
