Ramtin Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) Hello everyone! Picked up some new hobbies during the pandemic. First I discovered DCS, the combat flight sim. This rekindled love for fast jets and youtube led me to scale models as well. This is the result of my first attempt at building and painting a model kit. I learned alot during the process and have already strarted a new one. I received a lot of helpfull advice from Doctor Mig, whos video's inspired me to try it out. So thanks for that.

SAT69 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 That being your first completed model, I have to tell you I'm very impressed! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyK2479 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Very impressive! I’m new to the hobby and would have been very happy with a kit finished to such high standards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikola Topalov Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Excellent first build! Well done! Advice on taking photos (I am no expert though by any means) - use white, light blue or light gray background, desk lamps for side lighting and flash. Check it out on the internet, there is bunch of stuff on that. Best, Nikola 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learnt a lot during the process and I guess that’s where the fun is. But I’m glad that you guys like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look into it for the next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alt-92 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Nice work Deceptively small aircraft, that. 3 hours ago, Ramtin said: I only had my phone camera and naturally it’s a bit limited. I will look into it for the next time. It depends I shoot almost all my pics with an S10 & white cardboard sheets from packaging boxes. As long as the lighting is good you can do a lot with modern phone cameras. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbolt Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Great work 👏 It would be better if you posted the images here full size instead of thumbnails - As for photography, it doesn't need to be a light coloured background, I quite often use black, just get it as plain as you can. Getting the lighting right is the key thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I can edit the post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
