Kastelan Robot and Light Box

It's been a busy month, and the trend may continue for the next couple months, though I am going to try my hardest to stay on schedule. I almost made it this month by getting some more Deathwatch near-complete and getting one of the Kastelan Robot maniples near-complete. Unfortunately, they are not entirely complete. The most complete model of the group mentioned is one of the robots, which has the basic scheme and washes done, almost has its highlighting done. The other robot and the datasmith have both passed the wash stage, but do not have highlights.

These pictures were taken inside the light box I made. However, you can see in the photos above that the printer paper I used has a couple problems with it. The first is that it's not a continuous sheet so shadows from paper overlap are still visible. The other problem is that it's too opaque to use for the light diffusion panels on the sides of the box, so not quite enough light is getting through. I will be attempting a second version by the next post. I also only had two lamps, which will be remedied in the next version, too.

Test picture of Vael Donatus; the camera detail is good, but the light looks off.

Again, goals for next month are to have another unit finished, or at least have my current units completely finished, and build Light Box V.2. No promises.
