How to photograph scale models?

[Haluk]

Is there a standard? Does it vary by model scale and category?

A couple of tips....

 

Use a good tripod. 

 

Use a flash, if indoors (but look out for nasty shadows from the flash).

 

Focus manually, concentrating on the most important details of your model. 

 

All (or most) models are small objects, so the photographing of a tank, aircraft or ship is much the same. I don't believe there's any recognized "standards" for producing images.... or not that I've ever read, anyway. 

 

Hope this helps.

My answer is a little late. I couldn't focus much on modeling from work. But now I'm here. Thank you very much for your detailed and concise answer. I will pay attention to the criteria. In the future, we will see the progress with my model photos.
