TOPIC:

Hello everyone. First post here. Lars saw some of my builds and asked if I would write an article for the site. I was happy to oblige and you can see what I wrote here: tamiyabase.com/...odies.html

I don't just stick to cars though, I've done buggies and trucks:







One of my favourite ways to photo them is to recreate the shots from the old Tamiya catalogues. I replicate the positioning and lighting, then process the resulting images, adjusting the colour and toning and adding dust and texture:







Hope you like!

WOOOHHHHHHOOOOOOOOO! Awesomee picts
Your creatons are really beatifull and the mix of deco and cars looks impressive

Welcome to the Forums, Adrian!
Those are fantastic pictures, I'm struggling to differentiate them from the catalogue scans

Still, the pictures are impressive, but the models are even more so.

What camera/lens are you using? Looks pro?

Hey buddy, Thanks for sharing your builds here Your Beetle is 1 of my favorites

Canon 5D Mk3 with a 70-200 2.8 II IS, Canon 600EX flashes in softboxes with radio transmitter.

It's a bit excessive just for taking pics of models, but I do real cars too: 500px.com/adrianfrst

POOOOOhhhhhhhhhh The 5D is the best of the best. Several guys uses it to product movies.

Welcome on board chap I read your article with great interest, I definitely want to try adding a rear screen heater, next time I build something suitable.
