Fo...Figures are nice Gowan and I love that chopper! For picture taking-go to Corvus Miniatures blog. He has backgrounds posted that are designed to take pics of mini's. Just download the ones you like and print them onto a piece of paper http://corvusminiatures.blogspot.com/2010/04/cloud-backdrops-for-your-miniature.html<br /><br />Put the paper on a deck with a book behind it. Place the paper so that it curves up from the desk and rests on the book-DO NOT CREASE THE PAPER. Place your mini so that the white spot is behind it. Light the figures using three light sources. Use desk lamps. One from directly above. One coming from the left. One coming from the right.
