Sal82 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 An older model that I finally got around to photographing properly after learning a few tips on how to use composite photography and software to get large models properly into focus. This is the Trumpeter 1/700 USS Nimitz with the Eduard PE set, Starfighter deck decals and extra aircraft from Pit Road. I'd probably do a bunch of things differently if I were to build the ship today, but this was an interesting learning process. Although the aircraft turned out quite nice overall, I kind of regret using the supplied decals from Trumpeter and Pit Road instead of getting the correct airwing decals for Nimitz circa anno 1980-1982 so the model cannot be said to be historically accurate. This was also my first attempt at lighting a model and I made a bunch of mistakes, like connecting the diodes in series instead of parallel. Still I am pretty happy with the overall result. Enjoy! 32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorfinn Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Extraordinary to me that the 'tone' of the finish of each individual component blends seamlessly...a very difficult thing to do at small-scale, and especially when there are so many different individual bits, each done separately (to some degree). Really superb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
