Needs some red bricks for blood when the chainsaw hits the space police.

Yeah; I didn't think of it until I had already taken the photos and it was getting late so I just went with them.
That would have really spiced up the scene =)

Not bad, my only recommendation would be that you adjust your photo size so they don't stretch the page.
Also you should try modding that ship; it looks awesome when the giant fin pieces are angled sideways.

As if we care. More explosives!

What is your desktop resolution set to?
What size monitor are you using?

I think the point of this wasn't the MOC aspect it was just as a photography test. Which, BTW looks incredible, what kind of camera/setup do you use?

Thx Zippy; and you're mostly right... I hadn't really tried to make a diorama or anything stupendous. I bought that set the other day, built it, and thought 'hey, I should take some photos and share them' because I thought the alien was neat, the space police are badass, and the ship was pretty trick.
I figured my light box was a good way to take some more quality photos. My camera and light box are nothing special but they do an OK job. This setup was originally created for taking photos of minis I paint. It's just a poor man's light box and a Sony CyberShot DSC-P200 (7.2 mpx). After playing with the program settings it does the job.

Nice, I need me a light box.
PS I too bought that set about a month ago and it is indeed bad-ass.
