I just started a new blog devoted to 15mm Sci-Fi modeling and wargaming. Check it out here

Federal Troops!?

That white on black text is virtually impossible to read on my screen.

I think the issue is the choice of font. It does give a nice military theme but appears too rushed up. Probably a font that looks great in a larger size but difficult to read at a smaller one.

Nice site.

Nice blog. I can read it fine but I think the font might need the bold reduced? The Federal troops just hit the top of my must have list.

Nice blog. You're off to as great start. Great article on painting the Lynnx APC.

Nice work: your painting deserves a better main pic than that, though.

Cool Blog. Keep it up!

Good blog…text works fine for me :)

One thought, and I know the vehicle is a WIP, the numbers…too bright and clean…the vehicle has a nice weathering and the numbers scream "decals"…maybe a little of your brown wash?

But the blog looks good, well done.

Cool blog. Well done.

That APC looks really nice

Thanks to all for their words of encouragement. I will be "tweaking" the blog to make the visuals easier on the eyes. The font is "Impact", and it does have a nice militaristic look, but it does seem too bold, even tough it's in non-bold format.

@ John T
I do need a better main pic. Got to remedy that.

@ 28mmMan
Yes, they do scream "decals". I plan on going back over the APCs with more weathering to give them a bit more realism.

28mmMan03 Sep 2010 3:19 p.m. PST

I figured you would :) They take away from your fine work is the only reason I mentioned it.

Keep it up, looks good.

Changed the look of the blog a bit. Sort of gives it a kind of Martian landscape feel, maybe… Changed font to a clearer one, plus changed text colors.
