Looks centered to me.

If thats the case then I guess I can start taking normal photos again. If you look carefully, a lot of my previous photos have all been focused on the left side of the picture because I assumed this problem affected everyone. Obviously just me then.

Thanks

No, it is the same for me. I can't see the right side of the picture. have you tried resizing the pictures? I think the max is supposed to be 800 pixels wide, but I usually go for 640 as I know that will fit on the boards nicely.

Thanks mate.I'll give it a shot.

Here is the Isengard troll with added bits to make him look like he is in the middle of a battle. More stuff will be added to the base after he is painted.

The photos are still getting cut off. I'll make them smaller next time.

Nice touch with all the weapons. It really looks like he's been in an epic battle!

Are you sure? I can see the last lot ok. (They seem centralised)

hmmm. Now they are ok. When I posted them a few hours ago they didn't work. Oh well, at least they work now!

Nice, it looks really great! Now my old isenguard troll looks rather dull :-D

That picture of the drummer troll was cut off for me too. The other ones are fine. I normally go for 600 pixels wide for my pictures. I too find that initially it doesn't look like they have been re-sized by photobucket, even though they have, but then after some time when I come back they're fine.....So you're not the only one with that happening.

Btw, nice job on the troll. The spear straight through a steel shield is a little ott imho, but whatever, if it works for you that's great, 'cause it's not my figure! :-D

Ooooooooooooh!I love those arrows and other weaponry sticking out from him!!! :yay:

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Sat Jul 14, 2012 11:24 pm

Your Troll es brilliant, incredibly good, defibnately at home in the modst of a battle :yay:

The 3rd pic is the only obne that isn't centred.

Quick question, how did you make the arrows? It looks like you sculpted the flights out of putty and glued them on to....something? They look fine on the troll, but next to a normal guy they would be a bit too big though, right?

Looks fantastic. You really get the feel of the arrow piercing him and the troll almost shrugging it off. The poor souls who come against him won't have much of a chance.

Some of the arrow shafts are made of thin plastic poles from some banner or something from a non GW miniature set. Two of the arrows are made of wire. Wire is the best option IMO. As long as its straight enough. The flights are made from pro create putty. Greenstuff is fine too. And yes, the arrows are a bit thicker than they would be next to a normal sized figure, but I its not really noticeable next to the troll.

Really love the extras you've added to the troll. Makes it more epic and dynamic.

What type of wire is it for the arrows?
Also, all the photos are centered for me. Nothing is cut off.

Thanks!

The wire is just a very thin bendy wire from a hardware store or something. My dad bought it. It nothing to special in the way of modelling. You could probably get better strips of wire at a hobby shop.
