P_Budzik got a reaction from mtaylor in Model Photography/Scheimpflug Principle
Having grown up with film and large format, I can understand the nostalgia and romance. But especially for images destined for the net, I think a good dslr or mirrorless is more than adequate. For focus stacking, I like Heliofocus over Photoshop. The final image from Heliofocus can be easily squared up in Photoshop
The last segment of this video shows the automated features of Heliofocus ...

P_Budzik got a reaction from Canute in What Scriber is best for simulating deck planks in plastic?
Hubac: Thank you
Wefalck: I don't build any more primer than I would normally, but you do need to have a light touch. Just do a little practice, but honestly, it really turns out to be very easy and fast. You also need to do a little playing around with how fine a point you put on your scribe.

The technique that I have been using for a fine scribed line is to scribe though the final finish layer into the underlying primer. These two scratch built aircraft were done using this technique:
I describe the technique in this video:

P_Budzik got a reaction from kurtvd19 in Old Floquil paints?
I had a long history with Floquil. It was the only hobby paint I used. Awhile back I put up a web page just about Floquil. I have a PDF of the original "little red book" that Floquil published explaining their paint and how to use it. I also have the original railroad color chart up as well.

P_Budzik got a reaction from Bob Cleek in Unimat or Sherline... your feedback, please...
In the past I've always used just Unimat, both the SL and Unimat 3. The old 3 with a cast bed and ways is far superior to the SL. I now only use a pair of 3's and an SL head mounted on a home made mill.
I wouldn't recommend going with an older machine that is no longer manufactured because of the limited availability of parts and accessories. Last year I bought a Proxon 250 because I wanted something a little bigger. It is a terrific machine. You get an actual geared power feed and real compound. Gears are metal and the machine is made in Germany. It bears a striking similarity to my Unimat construction. I called the company and was told that one of the design team came from Unimat. It is a beautiful little machine. It would be my current first choice for a small lathe.
