A good photographer I may be, but I am just awful at painting models, believe me I've tried. I really have great admiration for the ability of everyone here to decorate their pieces.

  • This is my favorite picture of all the shots I took at the store from my two trips here. Having been my best friend for so many years and rooming with him for about 8 of them, when Scott told me he was creating a giant tank game piece to enter a Warhammer contest with, I knew the creation was going to include loads of interesting details. So it didn't surprise me at all that he ended up winning a first place prize for it, even in a contest that was international in scope.<br /> <br /> The part he's painting here is a side facing periscope with a computer terminal interface at the captains station. If you zoom in real close you can see all the fine painting details he's done to the computer interface terminal. When we first talked months ago about his idea, our phone conversation created an image in the back of my mind of him working on some big unusual looking model. That fuzzy image floated around in my head and intrigued me for some time. Finally here when I saw him turn the model on its' side and start to paint some finishing touches, that fuzzy picture in the back of my head, at last came into focus.<br /> <br /> From the moment he first told me about it I knew whatever form his model was going to end up taking, it was going to be memorable, and if anyone was going to get a really nice shot of him working on it I figured who better than me?
  • Here's Scott's friend Rick painting more cool stuff. The store was a bit too crowded for me to get a clear close up shot of him painting these guys like I got of him painting his amazing demon canons my last trip here - too bad they were quite intriguing.
  • This tank contains thousands of simulated rivets, and Scott's hand painting every last one of them with a metallic finish to make the model look more realistic.

  • One trait of character all members here seem to posses is a remarkably steady hand and deft painting techniques to bring out the best looks in their game pieces.
  • As soon as I find out the name of this beast Gary's painting I'll let you all know.

  • The name of the woman you see painting is Debbie Ross. Artist, teacher, she paints these wonderful water color nature shots, and has permanent displays of her work all over the country, and in numerous publications like the New York Times and Discover. And while she's gone all the way to Africa to find some of her subjects, she is a "New Yorker" and finds the trip from her place on the east side to the Zoo pleasingly brief. And an afternoon amongst these colorful inquisitive feathered friends is certainly a nice relaxing way to spend an afternoon.<br /> <br /> When the weather turns cold again and the zoo crowd thins out I will come back to get a much better shot of her painting. I'll also wait for better lighting conditions. Till then all the best Deb!<br /> -------------------------------------------------------------<br /> deborahrossart.com/bio.html
  • Taking candid shots of people is a lot of fun. Taking ones of people you know is even more fun.

  • Today I was meeting friends in the evening to go see a movie. Getting into the city a couple of hours early I found I had some time to kill, and decided to head into the park and see what might catch my eye. This time it was a group of men practicing their frisbee moves. Always feeling I could improve my proficiency at capturing subjects on the move I decided while they worked on improving their skills, I would work on improving mine.
