When you do close up photography like that, you can REALLY see the differences in the paint ups ... Shaman, Marinna, Vindicator, and Northstar and Aurora were really well done, but the others are just awful.

i guess some feedback is better than none. extreme closeups always reveal the paint's good or bad features. just like celeb close-ups always show just how bad their skin really is. glad you liked some jess.

Let me try my hand at this close up stuff ...

I actually hated the paint up on my Snowbird so much that I asked Danno to completely repaint it for me using pearl paints for her costume, removing that horrible outline around the face and mask and making her skin more pale, almost to the point of being albino ... which is the way that I thought Byrne wanted her to look.

Shaman, Marinna, Vindicator, and Northstar and Aurora were really well done, but the others are just awful.I was thinking the exact same thing. Also wish the twins were more leveled with the rest of the team.

Still great pics Oddball, and nice line up, I hope to complete mine someday.

I used some risers to give Sasquatch a bit more height over the rest of the characters and to lower Puck down to where he's supposed to be and I made the twins "hover" behind the rest.

I love these with my only minor quibbles being that Vindicator could have done with being slightly bigger, Puck has that stupid tall base and because of Marrina's pose (which is perfect for the character if she were displayed on her own) she looks slightly out of place with the rest of the team.

the risers are something i could seriously use for the team. different levels seems to be the way to go. nice pic!

You can pick them up quite cheap on eBay and even if you can't get the perfect height for what you want, with the plastic ones you can score them and carefully snap them down to the height that you want using a tile cutter.
