Hi, just sharing my models with photo edited background to create a realistic effects. Thanks for looking.

Need to download a photosharing app like Photobucket. make an account and can simply upload you photos from your phone to their server. To share it in a forum, you need to have a computer to get the URL address, then copy and paste it on you thread or reply.

Many people are asking about white background and how to achieve it without making your background grey or yellow. This is how I do it and things you need 1. White background (paper or cloth, long enough to go far back from the model) 2. Flashes x 4 with shoot through umbrella x1 I use YN 560iii with build in receiver for the front of the model YN 460 manual flash x2 on slave mode, this is pointed to the background. You can adjust the strength of the flash manually so you wont have a burned out photo. 3. Transceiver x1 for the two front flashes. 4. DSLR camera or any camera that has hot shoe to mount the tranceiver. 5. Photo editing program 6. Lots of patience, imagination and time on your hand to spend lol! the last 2 images are composite of multiple photos and the last photo, I was pretending to be a layout artist of magazine lol! Thanks for looking.

Thanks for the kind words 😅

Thanks guys 😃

Hi this is my 1/72 Huey, straight from the box build. Decals are own printed to represent Philippine Air Force. Many thanks for looking.

She's so dirty and I'm loving it! Photoshoot soon...

thank you gents!

Hi there, this is my old 1/72 F-5A from Italeri. I opened the gun bay and scratched build the M39 from hypodermic needles and small pieces of plastic. I also used a resin seat to add realism to the cockpit. Base is from Coastal Kits. Many thanks for looking.

happy to help just send me a pm.

Happy to help, just send me a pm.

I'll try using vector graphics program like Corel draw or the freebie Inkscape and will post if there will be any difference. Stay tune

I'm not sure that the quality of the print will change if you vector the artwork. Without magnifying and just looking with your eyes, the print look ok with me, remember, these artwork are in 72 scale and will definitely much better in bigger scales.

Hi Backjet, the problem is that you will use two printer for this (as recommended on the Oki website, one for the white print and the other will be for the coloured print), because you are using 2 printer, you are prone for mis-register print. I think if you have a large artwork, it will be fine but if you have small artwork, it will be difficult. I tried it and I failed so better to have 2 set of decals, one coloured and one white backing decals.

Weathering done with powders and inks. No need to seal the decal, you can use it straight from the printer. Thanks for looking.

Thanks for your kind words, gentlemen. I also removed most of the raised panel line and re-scribed it.

Hi this is my 1/72 T-28 Trojan by Heller, it is also locally known as Tora-tora as it resemble the Japanese planes that occupied the city during the war. Part of the modification was removing the airscoop in front of the cockpit and the side armour, also removed the oval shape attachment on the bottom of the wings. I scratched build the rocket pods with brass tube and 6 hypodermic needles. The decals are home made to represent the 15th Strike wing of Philippine Air Force based in Sangley Point, Cavite City, Philippines. Thanks for looking.

its not that long, I already did the pattern on stacked masking tape on cutting mat. The time consuming is the waiting time for the paint to dry up then new set of pattern applied on top of it.

thanks for appreciating my work.

Thanks guys.

This is my 1/72 F-117 that I've build few years ago. The digital pattern was airbrush using reverse masking technique (I called it reverse as you paint the dark colour first then the lightest in the end), the red stripes was painted too. I then photoshop it to it's natural habitat. Thanks for looking.

This is my 1/72 Huey from Italeri. Cockpit and fuselage was build straight forward, no scratch building. Hataka Helo Drab was used for the main fuselage colour. Decals are printed by myself with a laser printer Tried the kit's decals but it craked and won't stick to the model so I just sticked to my home printed decals. Thanks for looking.

Thanks Orion, the Navy initially received 3 unit of the AW-109E ''Power'', then the Air force receieved 5 units after few months (I think 11 units now). both Navy and Airforce units are armed with gun and rocket pods.

Hi this is my AW-109E from Revell (A-109 base kit). I modified the engine housing, tail skid and the shape of the tail rotor. I also added stretch sprues on the tail boom, scratched build the floats on both side of the fuselage, pitot tube and hoist. Decals are printed by yours truly, on clear (black stencils) and white decal paper (logo) with my inkjet printer to represent the new helos of Philippine Navy. Many thanks for looking.
