thevid Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Deliduka Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thevid Posted June 7, 2021 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
