fmwsteve Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) Hi everyone here on Britmodeller I've been a member for some time now and have never before posted any of my builds as looking at some of the builds posted here makes mine seem rather mediocre but hay ho let's bite the bullet. This is the Revell 1/32 Spitfire MK2 built straight from the box but for a set of RB Productions harnesses. There maybe a few errors in the kit but are only minor and don't take a lot of correction and I have to be honest it was a real pleasure to build and the fit was superb.I wanted to put it in a scene of some sort for a change so I cut a piece of MDF and put and applied varying lengths of of static grass with an applicator, I'd already got a set of Masterbox RAF figures which I have to say are as fantastic value as the spitfire, apologies for the quality of the pictures but I couldn't get outside (slight problem with the weather) I'll try and get some better ones to post later.All comments welcome good and bad.Regards Steve.

Darby Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Sofa looks comfy and the plane's not bad either. I quite like the way those figures are posed. What make of static grass is that as I am after a decent type. Oh and don't worry about the phots. I'm still trying to get used to a new digital thing. I can't find where the flash powder goes and there's no hood on it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Looks very nice. But can I say you try lighting up your model for photographs so we can all enjoy your worthy work. Try setting up a mini studio with a plain background. You can buy stiff paper form Hobbycraft or your local art shop. 'Blu tak' one end for the upright background against a wall or something and the remainder to a flat surface. You base will be a good steadying for the background card. Practice taking your pics from various angles or turn the model round to get both sides form front or rear for example It'll work wonders for you !
