JohnWS Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 She looks great, Rob! Very nice work resolving the resin fit issues. The mines & oerlikon mount give her a unique look. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Beautiful job there Rob. May try one of those CC kits at some point but I need to finish my basic training on the good old Airfix Vosper first! Thanks for sharing a great WIP.

Stelangton Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Looks brill!!! How did you achieve the background, as in no corners etc? I tried a white sheet once but didn’t have the effect you have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robgizlu Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 Thanks Fellas - Your positive and generous comments always mean a lot. On 2/15/2020 at 9:05 PM, Stelangton said: Looks brill!!! How did you achieve the background, as in no corners etc? I tried a white sheet once but didn’t have the effect you have. Hi Stelangton Nothing sophisticated...... One overhead Shesto light with a single cheap bedstand lamp fitted with a daylight bulb and a piece of Artist's card which I stick up as pictured. I'll also turn this so it's lengthwise. Occasionally I'll crop pics when the corners exceed the card. I actually have some large diffuser lights but it's such a faff to set them up in the limited space that it never seems worthwhile. These 2 lights often give colour gradations that are unplanned but quite attractive versus completely shadowless diffused light with the bigger lamps. There's obviously a limit to the size of model I can photograph with this set up - so far everything has fitted including my Fairmile. Thanks Again everyone Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
