Minatures Scale Picture by Christopher B of the blog "A Rust Monster Ate My Sword"

I use a miniature scale picture in lots of my blog entries.  I think it is very handy to see how different figures match up against it.  As usual, Friar Tuck (an Airfix Robin Hood set figure) and Conan (a Caesar Miniatures Adventures set figure) make their appearance for scale, as well as the Scale Picture (a scale picture).

You may one one of your own, if so, do not despair.  All you need to do is to click on the Miniature Scale Picture link and you can have one of you own.

The picture looks way to big when viewed in your browser window, but due to the magic of a 300 dots per inch setting hidden deep in its JPG soul, it prints out perfectly.  I printed mine using Windows Paint.  If you would like to visit the blog of the fellow who created this neat little gadget, click the link below.

Thanks Christopher B. for creating such a useful little picture.  I have a laminated copy I keep in my wallet for those time when I wonder, "Will this work with scale X figures."

Close Up Photography with my Cell Phone

I shot this photo using my cell phone. It is far from perfect, but I carry the phone all the time so it might come in handy knowing how to get a decent miniature photos on the fly with it. The phone is an LG ENV2. The ENV1 had a macro mode, why can't every cell phone come with one of those and make my life easier?

Just a quick shot of a paper viking style boat model and a couple of 1/72d figures thrown in for scale.
