I think a problem with the second batch of images is that the coloured prop tips are much longer than the blades, so they look less realistic - the first photos you posted were better, as the blades and their tips were blurred to the same length. And I'm with Gorby that the 'crenellated' effect is a bit strange. Was the idea to create 'speed lines ' to give an effect of movement? If so, I think it's too stylised, it looks more like the etched Propblur products...

I think you could do a stronger radial blur to give the impression of the prop spinning faster, like this: I would also suggest investigating giclée printing for a better print quality - the halftone pattern is quite noticeable in the photos. If you use a giclée printer you won't get the halftone dot effect.

This is a good idea, and very easy to do in Photoshop using the Radial Blur filter if you have a high resolution image of the propeller shot from exactly front on... https://imgur.com/a/68CzB https://imgur.com/a/I5SRa

Beautiful work. The perspective is spot on, the movement blur is convincing, and the palette is subtle. Great job.

Hi Adrian, no problem! Glad to help. I've just been looking at your airfield dioramas - excellent and evocative work. They remind me of my father reminiscing about plane spotting in the 50s and 60s. All the best, A.

This says "sonar door" ソナードア. Great models by the way. (ソナー = "sonar", ドア = "door")
