Luckily, this is in the multi-man category or else my entry would be screwed.
I’ll most likely be releasing as soon as I figure out how to take good
pictures. Is there a tutorial anywhere for such?

Try searching on “photography tips” in Lugnet news. I can offer a few tips.
Get some white paper for a background. Put plenty of light on the model, but
realize that the bare flash on your camera will probably hurt more than it
helps. I got a little tripod from a camera store in a mall for about $10 that
helped tremendously. I find that editing my digital pics is a must. I
downloaded the “GIMP” for free, and I think it works fine. Generally, I crop
and scale the photos to the right size, then crank up both the brightness and
contrast. I’m certainly no expert, however. My photo skills need a LOT of
work, and there’s a bunch of other folks that post here that do truly beautiful
work.

The Pinpoint is an awesome combination of colors, style, and power. I’ll have
to agree with the others in saying that the tan and dkred were a good choice.
My only problem is with the front gun turret, it looks too clunky. I envision
a small fast moving turret. However, other than that this MOC is freakin’
awesome.

I have to chuckle at that comment, because I’m used to building mechs with
really big weapons pods. As I was building the turret, I was a little
uncomfortable with how small it was, but you’re right, it does look a little
clunky on this gunship.

Good luck in the contest!

| Thanks for the tips Kyle! Now that I've takenm the time to review your entire brickshelf folder I see what you mean with the emphasis on big guns. However, I see you've had some practice with this type of modeling. The Bolt, the Armed Shuttle, and (...) (20 years ago, 17-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
