andymoore Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Here is my attempt at building a model of the wonderful Sally-B. The WIP can be found here. My aim was to take photo of the model using the same focal length that the following picture was taken with & then to photoshop the model onto this picture. here is the model sat on a table with a fan heater blowing the props.... And here is the final image hacked about using paintshop pro: And just for good measure, here are a few pics of the finished model. Most of the detail is on the inside & can be seen in the WIP. No clever tricks to hide the blemishes... I know she's a mess in places, but she'll look just fine hanging from the ceiling of my 'office'. thanks for looking 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight_Flyer Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Nice build, good idea using the fan blower to turn the props. Probably wouldn't work on some of my models as the prop doesn't turn very easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andymoore Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Nice build, good idea using the fan blower to turn the props. Probably wouldn't work on some of my models as the prop doesn't turn very easily. I took that pic before the props had been glued on - that way they spun on the pegs very freely. Of course, they did pop off of the pegs at regular intervals too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
