thevid Posted June 1, 2021 Report Posted June 1, 2021 I enjoy photographing my models as much as I do building them. These are scenes made just for the camera and are not diorama per say. I use Nikon 950 Coolpix series cameras for these shots. Very cheap on eBay ($20 or so) and have great depth of field. Figures are from various sources; Revell, Preiser, Kit Figures etc. Odds and ends are from ebay. Background is handpainted. P-47D, fuel truck and P-38 are Hasegawa and jeep and B-17 are Academy. Control tower is by Airfix. 3
DW135 Posted June 2, 2021 Report Posted June 2, 2021 Those a are great photos. Very nice work on the models and the photography.
Mark Deliduka Posted June 2, 2021 Report Posted June 2, 2021 Magnificent! I always wanted to set up a photo booth with a hanger, control tower (like that Airfix one) and a few other things in order to shoot pics of my newest finished aircraft. You've captured the essence of what I always wanted to do.

Mark Deliduka Posted June 3, 2021 Report Posted June 3, 2021 Thanks Dave. Still trying to get a hanger for the display base. I'll keep you posted. 1

thevid Posted June 7, 2021 Author Report Posted June 7, 2021 That little mechanic gets around. There is a preiser set with USAAF figures with great poses. The P-47D is from Matchbox and has been tweaked just a bit. When I build it again I will sand off the canopy framing and apply thinner frames. It's still a nice simple kit. This was a test shot trying out different setting. The Quonset is from ebay. The tarmack is sandpaper with pencil line joins. The little RAF starter is metal I bought it from Hannants. The ladder is photo-etch. 1
Mark Deliduka Posted June 8, 2021 Report Posted June 8, 2021 Beautifully done! I love the Jug with the raised panel lines! Brings back great memories! Sweet! Man, I built a Quonset Hut some years back; I need to find that thing!

Man, I built a Quonset Hut some years back; I need to find that thing! Hi Mark, I love those panel lines too! There a couple of sellers on eBay that specialize in off the wall diorama stuff. One is rebelalpha or just do a search for 1/76 scale figures. Here is the listing for it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/142837792909?hash=item2141cbc08d:g:c2UAAOxy4~BSQ8Md
Mark Deliduka Posted June 9, 2021 Report Posted June 9, 2021 Hmm, he's got some interesting stuff there indeed. Prices are a bit high for me, but I will still keep him bookmarked for the future. Thanks for the link.
