happy grumpy Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 Bought 2 of these, this is the first build while I was experimenting with different clear coats. It turned out ok but after a couple of years it degraded, it lost some of it's shine , I used krylon clear and although it lays near perfect it took several coats. Now I stick with what works for me . Tamiya ts 13 or Mr hobby super clear. More expensive but the results are worth it. 2

espo Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 Looks great. I thought these were pictures of an actual car at first.
TonyW Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 Very effective photography indeed. The car looks stunning as well.

Nacho Z Posted November 6, 2021 Posted November 6, 2021 I’m going to say the same thing as everyone else, great looking model captured in some great photos!
happy grumpy Posted November 6, 2021 Author Posted November 6, 2021 thank you all for your kind words. I was greatly inspired by Paul Michael Smith work. His pictures of his die cast cars are stunning. It's a bit of hit and miss. The distance, angle and height of the camera have to be right plus in my case, there is a combination of different techniques to achieve a reasonable result. It's a little time consuming but I found out that I enjoy photographing my models as much as I enjoy building them. So it's a win - win situation. I almost never show my cars and signing up on this forum was a way to share with fellow modellers my modest contribution to the hobby. So again thank you all who take the time to comment. I really do appreciate it.
