I have purchased several of your products and have enjoyed using them in my games.

My question is; why do you use computer generated 3d images with a black background of your products in the advertising and promos? As a consumer I greatly prefer to see photos of actual builds. The black background used in many of the promo pictures makes it difficult to see detail. Additionally I would suggest adding a miniature figure to the photos for scale.

Over all I really enjoy your product, however, the lack of build photos sometimes pushes me to purchase from other retailers with similar products.

Thanks
Cadia

The real answer depends on the state of household projects. For example, right now my library and family room are full of disassembled bookshelves, and my garage is full of furniture, so I've got no place to photograph. That's when I use rendered images. The black background is only used on the thumbnails for Wargame Vault. Generally, I brighten the product image and up the contrast a bit so the image stands out. With the color palette I use, black provides the best contrast. Thanks for your interest.

When I get organised I may actually be able to set up a blue screen in my garage. You could try a similar trick with a blue or green cloth. That way you can edit it out later.

I use white board, but there's no room for my photo lights and their tripods until I finally get my garage cleared out, so I end up masking and cutting in photoshop, then adjusting colors until they seem right. I've really got to work on my garage.
