TBC Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Come on! Fire it up and post a video of that lovely sounding megaphone exhaust. Oh, hang on, this is a plastic model? Seriously, Imster, thank you for an amazing display of modelling talent. Now I have to choose which one of your final photos I want to add to my desktop.

Vally G Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 That looks super, and so do the photos with the grey background (I've never understood the use of royal blue for model photos). :worthy: Kind regards, Adam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imster Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Thanks all for your kind comments, now gotta think of the next kit to build.... It will most likely be a car as I like to alternate between 2 wheels and 4 wheels, maybe I will finish of my Mazda 787B.. Come on!

Its an honour for my build to be on your desktop That looks super, and so do the photos with the grey background (I've never understood the use of royal blue for model photos). :worthy: Kind regards, Adam Thanks Adam, yes I agree the blue was way too vibrant and also messed up my camera settings so from now on it will be grey backgrounds and perhaps I might fiddle around with black and shiny/mirror backgrounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an honour for my build to be on your desktop And they look great, too, thanks to your photography. I picked 2 and added them to the slideshow I used for my screensaver. The pictures go full screen and look amazing. Cheers, Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shood23 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 That is just superb, the finish looks so real. The picture you that show the fuel lines (4th from bottom I think) actually looks as though there is fuel in them. God job Shaun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God job Shaun Mate I wish I could take the credit for that but its actually some of the kit piping, I couldnt believe it because Tamiya have this habit of just using their standard black tubing all the time.

imster Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Magnificent build, congratulations. I followed your build thread with great interest. There's lots of great small detail to catch the decerning eye. Great pics too. Colin Thanks Colin, I'm glad that you have a discerning eye because anytime I show some of my builds to my mates its so annoying because none of them have a clue the lengths I went to make things look the way they are. They all just look at it and say oh thats nice etc lol Impressive build, the detail is outstanding Thanks for sharing. Richard Thanks very much Richard I love this kit, superb job! Yes this kit was very good fun to build, highly recommended!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Excellent detailed build and finish, have just got the chain set, so that completes everything needed to start the kit, just need the skill now to get close to this as the benchmark for what can be done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
