oileanach Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Gather around, fellow modellers and hear my tale of woe. Work has been manic, ever changing and mainly from home since the batflu struck. No furlough for my mother's eldest! Family matters have been piling more stress on. It's been a long, miserable year and it's about to step up a gear as our customers return. I know, First World problems... I decided to snap myself out of it. I've rebuilt the back brake on my bike, had the fork seals renewed and tidied her up cosmetically. She's MOT'd and I am, once again, a greasy biker type. This makes me very happy. Still, I'm rusty as and the old girl terrifies me now. I needed something to calm me down. That's when I saw the old Dark Vengeance box sitting on the shelf of shame. Weren't there some bikes in there? I went a little bit old school with these. Out of the box paintwork, right down to the edge highlights GW love so much, very light weathering and just a wee dusting of pigments. As always, my photography sucks! Extra bad this time around, as my software's on the blink. No Luminar magic wand today, just what I get out of the body. Apologies in advance... Thanks for watching. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Classic. Well done I wish GW had moulded them all going in the same direction though. Just my neat and tidy nature, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oileanach Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 And the photography battle rages on... I replaced my trusty old modelling lamp for one of these new fangled led thingies and tried a different background. I've tidied up the paintwork and mould lines a little, too. What do you think, gang? Any improvement? Thanks for watching, comments/critique welcome, especially any hints or tips around photography! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Monty Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 These are great, I can hear those engines roaring! The photos look pretty good to me. Have you tried shooting from lower down to get the illusion of greater size? I found that natural light sometimes looks much better than a spot. If there's not much light, just let the camera pick a slower shutter speed (tripod obviously is a must here). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan R Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 You wouldn't want to mess with those guys! Cheers, Alan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
