This method works well with any type of models and in most scales, including some quite large kits in 1/24. Just adjust the background paper accordingly. Tha…

Well if it brings home the bacon. AS long as you get enough sleep (i.e. I
take 7 hours, no more no less) 😉 The next time he actually makes a video,
I will be sure to discuss it in a cold and analytical fashion. Whenever
that is…
This method should work well, if you can get a large paper sheet.. 🙂
My work is very regular.. I only work nights.. I don’t want a day job
(until I have to) as the freedom of working nights far outweighs any
negative sides. Also it’s slightly better paid, even though we had to take
a pay cut from April.. (Night Shift only). Just sitting on the computer for
a little while now, then I’ll go back to sleep again. When I’ve first woken
up it takes a while to settle again. 🙂 Just had a comment from K on my
space alien video (CurtisW) so at least he is STILL with us.
Video evidence would be impressive 😉 I got the pictures thanks! Problem is
yahoo mail won’t let me download all at once, so it’s very slow progress
saving to desktop >:( Perhaps you can upload them to flickr?
80 ” long? I am thinking 2 sheets,and 2 widthwise,to be up the wall. I have
moved,put the charge on my account. on account I am a skinflint.
I DIDANT KNOW YOU HAD THE HE SALAMANDER.!!!1 IS IT THE HOBBY BOSS KIT ?
I can’t remember which one is the bad one, the single- or the two-seater!
But whilst one is really good, the other kit is one sea of flash… The
moulds can’t have closed properly and the plastic must have leaked
everywhere.. Why it even ended up in a box and on the market is beyond my
understanding! I may start the MiG tonight if I’m not too tired.. slept
badly today! I need something to do while the P-39’s are drying or
whatever.. as if an AH-1 Cobra, a P-47 and the Sahariana wasn’t enough! 🙂
Well, mein lieber Herr Baron.. it said in the text that I PREFER light
blue.. but obviously you can use ANY kind of paper.. In your case placing
the model inside a brown paper bag probably will be the best!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Sorry.. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.. I am only joking! Now I’m off to work
though.. The weekend has gone only too fast, as usual! But I have nearly
completed TWO P-39’s in 1/72 scale since Friday night.. at least the gluing
stage! The painting will take the rest of the week no doubt!
I saw the ‘D-Day’ programme as well, in the middle of the night as I
couldn’t sleep due to the hot weather.. very interesting and well made!! I
have done ALL of the small AA guns now, just a few more of another set of
guns to do, which I’ll probably finish off tomorrow morning! In the evening
tomorrow I won’t get any built as it is time for the monthly club meeting
again, and I want to go.. I think I will bring my little 1/144 scale F-14
Tomcat tomorrow, it hasn’t been to the club yet.. 🙂
Hehe, yeah brown sauce or Tabasco are better for certain items 🙂 Suffice
to say I won’t be doing any washing on my models, panel lines etc will need
to be done carefully with a black marker – and then only if it flies. Just
printed off a very detailed PZL11c plan, watch this space…
Very useful for ANY kind of object really.. like hats, coins, banknotes,
paper cars.. stamps. Finnish Air Force Open Day tickets.. you name it, you
can use it! 🙂 I wouldn’t expect to use it on the Spanish Inquisition,
though..
Wow, that is very cool and very informative! Sometimes the simplest of
methods achieve the best results, amazing. And the models all look
terrific, great video!
A bedsheet.. That’s your answer.. 🙂 🙂 Problem solved… The bill will be
in the post tomorrow! 🙂
nice indeed 🙂
I gave up on the HobbyBoss wildcat, but it still makes a good shape
reference for the balsa one. What make is the mig? Yep the only half decent
PZL11c kit requires some major adjustments, more than I cared to give 😉
Still it did fuel my interest in the fighter (I just ordered a good book,
hopefully with details on the structures I want to replicate in wood!).
Good luck getting one!
I made and posted Pt.1 ages ago.. 🙂 🙂 Glad you found it, video responses
are handy… 🙂
When the light is right, it makes a big difference.. I prefer this method
now, as it gives a neutral background and makes the models show better.. 🙂
Thank you.. 🙂
It’s a good way of photographing models without getting the clutter in te
background.. 🙂
actually, that’s the method photographers use in the studio. they have
rolls of paper hanging from the ceiling, and its called “endless horizon”
(at lleast in german, “endloser Horizont”)… does it work only with light
blue paper, or may I use any paper, e.g a new(s) paper?
Does that mean the writing’s on the wall?? 🙂
That isn’t white camo on the wheels, that is SNOW.. it used to be in a
small diorama, which I dropped on the floor and broke and without the
diorama (a snow landscape) it doesn’t look right. But I take it you noted
the tracks were painted white too for the same reason. Like I said, without
the diorama you may get the wrong impression! I made the tank and the
planes well before I started using washes.. and won’t ruin them now by
adding any! I’m happy with them and that’s good enough for me.. 🙂
I did apply for prtnership.. but alas.. no.. not good enough, interesting
enough or with a big enough following 🙂
Good to see you are busy with P-39’s. What is the sahariana? Which P-47 are
you doing?
Yes, it’s the HobbyBoss kit.. it’s not a bad kit, but as usual it lacks any
real cockpit detail.. The landing gear legs are too long as well and need
shortening.. 🙂
Thank you.. 🙂
