Reg. "dots"
Youp, they were there -- very small and probably light-grayish so almost invincible -- just use original version (without borders), magnify this area, check/find and erase them (and repeat whole process with selecting object/area for making new borders).
Good thing is that it should be easy since now you know where to look:)
BTW: I'm not sure but it looks as (B-side view) sword is covering his hand?

I tied using Photoshop, and change the size to about 28-30mm but it came out looking like a figure used on commando 64 (a computer from 80's early 90's if your to young to know hehe) VOD game. anyways, and always a pleasure, thx for the help.

Ad. scaleFrankly speaking, after some "test" dunno what is the problem -- vide linked graphic. I took for it your GIF from original thread and just proportionally rescaled/downsized to 90% and 75% (as dwarfs are supposed to be kinda lower/smaller then humans...). =>>Note: each time I used original GIF graphic for resizing (ie 100>90 and 100>75 NOT 100>90>75)! Actually for me both resized Dwarves looks acceptable -- you could use more vivid colors tho. Downscaling in Photoshop:-Open 300dpi document (A4 / legal etc. format you are using), set-up ruler lines for foot and eyes -Drag your original(!) figure and position it on foot-line ruler -Use Photoshop CTRL-T command, make sure that you are using "proportional transformation" turned ON ("chain" icon) and enter desired/final scale ie 75 for example. (of course you may want also do it using mouse if you want see results in WYSIWYG mode and dynamically adjust your figure to other figures). For comparison -- vide linked picture:-30mm block -- 30mm from feet to eye-line (blue) -Pirate from my set -- although he is little differently posed (legs in "/\" shape) and "degrounded". Remember that 100% 30mm is not the goal -- figures should be just good looking and if some of them will be little taller or lower that's not crucial issue as long as general proportions will be preserved. Ad. B-side sword... Hmm... still I'd consider gauntlet covering part of handgrip, but its your figure so as you wish...

ok so what i was talking about before about the picture losing detail, what i was doing reducing the document size, to about 28-30 mm and when a zoomed in it looked blocky, it never crossed my mind to cut the figure, then reduce the figures size on another doc.. LOL ( you how sometimes you just way over think things ) anyways.. this is what i have come with so far... so this my "first" flat i have made. P.S not sure if the measurement for the base stand is correct or not
