I might just be looking in on this one as I might be needing a 1/72 scale spit in the near future, so it will be good to see how this one looks.

Daughter No 2 has the new tool (A01071A) Mk1a to build for a project at school. I've just had a look in the box and am very impressed by the standard of the kit. I suspect it will go together well. Good luck with yours.

Hey guys here is a little progress since I have my new camera now, I am a bit disappointed with it though because picture is not clear :/ so sorry about that, I don't know if its the camera or if its because the cockpit is so small, but anyway here is the cockpit glued and ready to be painted Iv increased the resolution so I will try to get clearer photos next time, il see if increasing resolution helps, anyway I know its small progress but I hope you like it, I dont get much time to do atm because I have a 2 month old little princess to look after

Scott I wonder if you are getting into close to your subject. All lens have a minimum distance form the object where they can focus. To close & you will be out of focus. Instructions should tell you.

If they do not take a series of pictures measuring the distance of each one. That will tell you if this is the problem. Also looks to me that you need some more illumination on the subject. Helps if you have a tripod as you will get a better picture with a longer exposure time. But you need the tripod to stop the normal shake of the body. If you do not have a tripod rest the camera on some books. Even make a sacffold out of sprue.

Try turning on the macro function Scott, that helps with close-up shots.

Photography can itself be a bit of a black art. One tip I picked up and find very useful is, if the camera has a timer on it, use that function. Once you press 'Go' take your hand away and - no camera shake whilst you press the button.

Colin M...

 

[MrGotty]

Thanks for tips guys, Hopefully I can do a bit more tomorrow

Scott

 

[Ian M]

Whats the camera you have bought? maybe one of us knows a few tips we can pass on.

Vivitar Vivicam T027 12.1 megapixels, I think I have sorted it now getting much better quality photos now

Hey guys, Still having a little trouble taking clear pictures so I am very sorry Anyway here is a little progress with the cockpit and pilot, not fully painted as I did not have much time to myself but hey, thats life, anyway I hope its clear enough for you to see a little progress, its probably because I am in the shed aswel, but Il try to sort it once I have more time, anyway hope you like!
