cog Posted September 27, 2018 Share #395 Posted September 27, 2018 Saw your album ... unfortunately it doesn't do your work justice ... your photographs are missing the brightness in colour which the ones in your build log show. Still a marvelous build. I really like the way the camouflage turned out, and the lovely details on her deck and structures ... another gem in the cupboard ...

RGL Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share #396 Posted September 27, 2018 Thanks mate, unfortunately unless I ever invest in a decent camera with a 50mm lens (closest to the human eye), and a decent set up with a light diffuser etc they will only ever be so so. This build was only really an effort to try camouflage. Battleships are just so much work with all the details but I’m still drawn to the old Dreadnought type ships and even the pre Dreadnoughts which are like steam punk cities.

Koppalakki Posted September 27, 2018 Share #397 Posted September 27, 2018 Well, you don't really need to shelf out too much money to get decent pictures. I have 2 portable 36W LED lights (120e a piece) and white background paper (15e 30 meters) and a Samsung S5 galaxy mobile phone and I think my pictures will definetly do the trick for documenting model building as a hobby! Good job finishing her and best of luck for the next project! Canute, mtaylor, Old Collingwood and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koppalakki Posted September 27, 2018 Share #401 Posted September 27, 2018 No I was thinking spending the rest of the year with the mighty Mo. Next project might be the Spruance depending on stuff (tm). Other than that I don't think I'll even start anything new this year.
