More scale model madness

[CairnsDuc]

Mad skills Sir!
I always respect people that have the patience to do model work like this with this amount of detail.
I would most likely get about an hour in, get pissed off and hit the thing with a hammer!

Well done as always

Depth of field.  Check out this technique to make real scenes look like miniatures, by artificially reducing depth of field:

I expect that you could therefore reduce this undesired effect in pictures of actual models by moving the lens further from the model, and using a zoom, rather than getting close and using a macro lens.

now that is cool how they made a real scene look artificial like a model scene.. perfect.

Way cool as usual.

Does anyone remember the Thread title of the model he did of his bike?

Gawd, I would love to watch you do one of those. I can't figure out your technique. The way you weather your models is awesome. I was also fasinated by the wear marks around the hatch. I also liked the rust stains down the turret, and the grease coming from around the removable hatch on the back.

absolutely brilliant.  You truly have a nack for this stuff... hope you found a way to make money at it.

Honestly, it reminds me of when I was younger and building models... i would flip through the Tamiya model catalog and I was always impressed.... this tops that.

I used to enjoy scale modeling a lot and have an afinity for famous cars that have been in movies and TV shows. I should post up pics of a few that I have done. None of them are quite as detailed as yours ( ), but they did turn out pretty well. Ultimately though, I gave up doing the models and started collecting 1:18th scale diecast cars of the same genre (less work and look perfect right out of the box!!!).

There's a builder that I've seen around the Net a lot who does some remarkable junkyard style models. Check these out:

sweet!

[Snips]

That's impressive (the tank).

Did you build the entire thing from scratch, or assemble from a kit?

It's funny how we spend hours cleaning and removing rust from our bikes

Outstanding once again!
