longshanks Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Nice job but I must say the back drop detracts from the build Kev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestar12chris Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Will see if i can get some better photos, in daylight Kev Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Beautiful build Chris, a tiny ship in reality though. The crew must have had big brass one's to sail into a Norwegian fjord and place explosive charges right under the "Queen of the North's" bottom so to speak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestar12chris Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Heres some indoor photos for Kev (Longshanks) Chris 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshanks Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Thank you Chris Your forgiven I just don't understand why people spend hours on creating a masterpiece and don't put any effort into taking pics to show the end result. The X-craft looks like a great kit and with the research available you've recreated a piece of history Nice one Kev 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Very nice indeed. Subs are fun to build. What scale is the tortoise by the way? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestar12chris Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Cheers Darby the tortoise is 1/1 or 1/10 for a giant depending on the breed LOL Many thanks Kev, Glad you like the indoor photos, still getting used to sony camera on phone, seems to take better photos in daylight, its probably the operator LOL Thanks Beefy and Gremlin for the kind comments.

Jockster Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Very nice Chris, like the build, like the figures, there's a glimpse of an interior, is there much inside? I don't remember a WIP. And of course as soon as I say that, I look at the first pic again and see the link! Doh! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paganpete Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Very nice result indeed!! Love it! On the subject of pics - I use a light-tent (folding one - amazon - about £15 I think) - with a good strong light and a reflector on other side (saves having to buy two decent lights) - gives nice diffuse light - also if your camera can bracket the shots try and do +/- EV of 1 either way - then pic the best shot - also shoot with timer so you do not get camera jitter hands (as I do now I am decrepit) ;-) This link explains WAY better than I can... http://www.scalemodelguide.com/display-photo/photography/scale-model-photography-setting-up-taking-photos/ Hope it helps!

whitestar12chris Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Cheers Pete, saw the link yesterday on light tents, bought one of the these, was a lot cheaper than the 90cm box tent.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270961275941?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT as its for occasional use, folds away nicely.
