Re: Pics Are you sure that you managed to capture the subject from EVERY angle? I think you may have missed one LOL Thank you very much cybershed. I wouldn't joke - you tell me which angle I missed and I'll take several!! 😜 I do enjoy taking photos - but you have probably already noticed that!

I must admit I like Prop Blurs although I know they don't appeal to everyone. The best way to get the effect of a spinning prop is to use a motor (as I have done on a few builds) but, in this case, I didn't have the time to spend fitting one.

I'm going to be controversial though... I really don't like the prop blur! It looks like a cartoon drawing in my humble opinion. I guess this is one where beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Hi General and thank you for your comments. And not controversial at all. Some people like prop blurs - others do not. The best way to represent prob blur is with a motor - which I have done a few times - but I didn't have time during this build as I wanted to get it completed quickly - as I am co-hosting the Panzer IV STGB which started last weekend.

azureglo Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 A little piece of modelling magic : You can achieve a better finish with plain old brushes that I can with an array of airbrushes, voodoo solvents, strong drink and prayer. Inspiring stuff. Cheers Anil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New one for me that, I thought you had motorised it first view Hi Hairtrigger and thank you very much for your comments. I was quite pleased with the effect in some of the photos. I had thought about motorising the prop but I didn't really have time as I was due to co-host the Pz.IV GB which is currently running down in the GB section.

FAAMAN Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Nice dio with a great finish I'm not a fan of static "blurred props" as I don't think the "blurred prop" helps it takes away from the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I was another a bit unsure on the prop blur but after several revisits, I'm happy to say in this instance & dio, it works OK, its definitely grown on me. 👍 Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
