  1. Hi all, I recently bought some new photography equipment to try to improve my build pictures.... - LED light ... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07V7JRTM6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - White backdrop ... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01CZM177K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The backdrop is fine. It has a smooth surface on one side and a matt surface on the other. It arrives rolled and tries desperately to retain the 'roll' when being laid flat. Time should cure that. The LED lights although cheap work fine. However I feel they are not that bright but possibly just about good enough for model photography. Brighter = larger camera aperture = narrower depth of field (eg only the ship's wheel is in focus). I'll update how I get on with these. Richard
  2. Hi all, Here's a 9 min video intro to making product pics using everyday items. .... DIY Product Photos - Easy, Cheap and Good-looking He's got a simple, clear way of explaining things. The light he's using seems quite bright and fairly close to natural daylight. But a camera's Auto White Balance should make a reasonable attempt at trying to emulate daylight if a different temperature of light source is used. I don't recall him mentioning camera settings etc I've just noticed he has some other videos that might be usefull eg.... - The "Make Almost Any Product Look Good" Lighting Setup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XuXILkrn5A - "Make Almost Any Product Look Good" - Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjZl09ntVxI Regards, Richard -
  3. It's been a while since we introduced a new how to ship modeling CD so it's been long enough. With all the emphasis on lighting at the model shows and on line, I am proud to present "Lighting Model Ships" by Dave Kopielski. Dave recently finished an astonishing 1/350 scale model of the USS Carl Vinson adorned with tons of LEDs in various colors and sizes and he wrote Flagship Models a CD to show everyone just how he did it. I'm not taking pre-orders because I expect it to go on sale by the weekend for a reasonable $12.95. Get a first look at: Lighting Model Ships
  4. Lighting Ship Models "how to" CD is written by accomplished modeler Dave Kopielski. Dave walks you through the ins and outs of wiring and using LEDS and fiber optics to bring life to your models. The CD is 9 pages in length with MANY hi-rez full color photos of in progress steps while Dave builds the 1/350 scale Trumpeter Nimitz and converts her to the Carl Vinson. Check it out at our web site: http://flagshipmodels.com/zencart/
  5. I am building a model shipways Fair American and have been working on a few bits of kit bashing. I like what rafine did with his build: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/1114-fair-american-by-rafine-model-shipways-kitbashed/page-3 he could only say that he had an old model railroad street light for his. right now I have two different ones that are about right but each has some problems. the two I have are a set of Lionel lights part number 6-24156 and a set of Rail King / MTH part number 30-1062 of the two the Lionel are slightly smaller and closer to scale. but they do not have the framework to look like metal strips that held the top and bottom together. also they have a very simple top and bottom for the lamp. the Rail King parts have a more ornate look , if they were just a bit smaller they would be perfect! both are "O-Scale" and the difference in size is very small. So far what I have is using some of the parts from each I will have one lantern that I think will end up looking right. I am replacing the bulb that came with them with a small yellow led that has a random flicker to look more like an oil lamp. when I get time I will post some pictures of the two types of lamp and my results. the final lantern will be part of my build, here is a link to my build log http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/28-fair-american-by-figuerres-modelshipways-148-kit/
