Less than tabletop

Well somebody has sniped it, the registered average is 1 with 1 vote. but id give it about 5.5. You could brighten parts of the metals up to give contrast and some shading on the black qould help. The face on the goblin looks good. But the reds look a bit transparent and not fully covered.
I certainly agree that it is above tabletop, but to be honest only just. James (thecadian) pointed out everything that could help your score and also auction price.
I gave it a 6 before reading this thread.
IMHO auction pieces are more vunerable to snipers as other unscrupulous sellers may try to push scores down to make theirs appear a better buy, but it all sorts itself out in the end.

I agree with this. Its very sad, but also IMHO this is happening.
YEah, jsut did a bunch of voting and there appears to be a serious binge of sniping going on. A whole bunch of the low-vote-total minis show signs of sniping: with 3 votes or 4 votes or so, there are a lot of 3.4s and 4s. There are also several, I\'m ashamed to say, that have 1 registered vote and an average of 1 So much for the theory that its only anonymous non-registered punks who do the sniping.
@dougaderly - I, too, gave your gobbo a 6. The reasons and ways to improve have pretty much been covered.

one thing i have notied is tabletop standered is supposed to be 5 but seems closer to 3 or 4
People\'s ideas about what \"tabletop standard\" is can differ quite a bit! Some people think tabletop standard is completely covered in paint in a somewhat neat way with a base that is at least not ignored. Others think tabletop standard is neatly painted with basic shading and highlighting.

hey matty,
I need to get a setup to take better pictures. The bottom scythe is actually painted with the same boltgun/chestnut ink/blue ink/tamiya smoke that the other end is painted with, but the lighting doesn\'t help it much.
I\'m gonna have to learn to highlight the black more, I just can\'t seem to strike that balance between highlighted enough without looking silly, and not highlighting enough which looks bland. AH well. But I\'m not really trolling for compliments, I was more amazed that like I said, I expected a score between 5 - 5.5 based on it being playable but not impressive. I hadn\'t realized people around here actually do snipe entries
guess I\'m just use to all the nice people!

Um, WHO holds this theory? It doesn\'t take much to be a registered user here after all. Now if only PAYING users votes counted... that\'d make a difference!

That seems like a LOT of work just to maybe get a few percent higher returns on one\'s auctions... Anyone that competitive on eBay needs to be locked out of the house for a while to breathe some fresh air.Originally posted by OrkyDave
