darthspud Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Last years lockdowns caught me(like most) on the hop and i decided to go along a different modelling avenue to my normal F16 route. All the kits came from UK sources, some were new, others 2nd hand. I don't or didn't build large scale armour at all until i started this lot. As soon as i can link to my source , i'll post some pics (Scalemates appears to be offline at this time) Edited July 22, 2021 by darthspud typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New rear cabin interior as the kit is an empty area not designed to be seen opened up. Revell Aqua paints used through out with a brush.

Bertie McBoatface Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 You made the most of lockdown, sure enough! Nice work May I make a suggestion about the photography? Try using a plain coloured background like a sheet of card or fabric. I improvised one last week using a shirt on a hanger held up bt string. It's not difficult and it concentrates the viewer's eye on the model when it's clear of background clutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthspud Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 going to be buying a roller blind for use as a plain background/base for photos. Just haven't got me head around all the aspects yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
