Do you sleep with these things?. It seems as if the Sherman is getting all the covers. I guess if you get cold at night, you could just smash the thing and roll over....more problematic with another person by your side. [serious critique] It looks a bit shiny...is it the camera flash? What kind of paint do you use? [/end serious critique] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moraine Sedai Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Emrys, you dolt! I am *not* preggers. Well, not that I know anyways. That was my better half's way of covering his tracks when he didn't realize *I* was still logged in. If and when I *do* get pregnant, *you* shall be the last to know. And the rest of you lot: 1. The blanket mod is mine. Kinda scratchy and doesn't feel like snow at all, but I will own up to it and admit it was my suggestion to use the blanket. 2. The tank was duly dull-coated, but apparently the flash on my digital camera is "too strong". My dear Hiram has been having some trouble the last few models getting pictures that are clear *and* "shine free". I shall attempt to put my photographic experience at work today and remedy the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stikkypixie Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I just noticed I passed the 1000th post mark some time ago. Hooray for me.

I shall attempt to put my photographic experience at work today and remedy the situation. Soft, indirect light should work well. If you have available light, say from a north facing window, that might do it. The broader the light source, the better. When wanting to show off detail, top/back light is best. Direct front light not only can give you surface glare, but it flattens everything out. When I was shooting scale models I'd finished, I'd wait for an overcast day and shoot them outdoors.

Nidan1 Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 I really miss scale modelling...but after two detached retinas and the ravages of the aging process, alas my eyes are not up to it anymore. I just visited the Tamiya web site, and I must say it looked better to me than a Victoria's Secret Catalogue, (right bad eyes...remember?) I haven't built one in nearly twenty years **sniff**....a plastic model that is.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiram Sedai Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Boo, thanks for that bit of advice. I really should only take pics outside. I'm not used to taking pictures when the model is of age. No wait...uh...that is to say.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Radley Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Tell ya what, me foine, foine bucko. Why don't you take that attitude you have, shove it up YOUR arse where it can keep YOUR head company. [serious] Working with the Bangalore Emergency Response Team (B.E.R.T.), we came up with a solution after just two weeks and several dozen E-mails. I've had no other problems and sent out a bunch of moves, including yours.

Boo Radley Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Earthlink isn't a real on-line service? If it isn't, what is?
