With my eye sight slowly deteriorating, I can never see the detail of my figures up close but thanks to your pic's Marc, I can now see how great they are, especially the awesome facial detail!

Marc, outstanding work!
As a retired newspaper shooter, I appreciate the use of lighting and depth of field in your shots. I bet they would look great in b&w.
What gear did you use to capture those images?

Hi jbonzo1

The images are shot in my studio using 2 x 60cm square softboxes with a ratio of 1:1. The camera is an EOS 7D with either a 50mm f1.2 or a 70-200mm f2.8. I just have a fundamental belief that the models are quite small and as such should be photographed in such a manner as to be able to see them and all their detail. Its funny you mention you are an ex paper snapper as I am and have been a newspaper photographer for about 13 years now... its the best way to learn how to take a picture... we often only get one chance to get the shot... :) Glad you like the images... :D

Cheers,
Marc

Enjoying your pics. They are very clear and highlight your collection extremely well. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming. :cool:
 
That is a nicely done dio setup. Also like the material that was used for the back drop which works quite well !
 
Particularly like your rock work & road, would be interested to know what type of molds you used or are they your own design.....either way I think you nailed the colours & set up nicely.....fantastic stuff mate.{sm4}

Thanks Desertkiwi.... the rock moulds come from woodland senics and are painted using their 3 wash technique. There is a great tutorial video on youtube for painting model rocks here. I watch a lot of model railroad stuff on youtube and my dad has been a source of inspiration as he is a model railroader... The road was course sand ($7AUD for 20kg) from Bunnings Hardware store. I siffted it through a piece of cheese cloth to get rid of any largish pieces. Your local hardware store is a great place for road/track sort of stuff and it is way cheaper than buying dedicated modeling stuff.

Cheers

Thanks heaps Marc, that's great info, I've been a bit hit & miss with my scenic stuff, especially the rocks & roads.

Ta for now...:salute::
 
Marc mate, I checked out the 'Woodlands' website as you suggested and watched some great clips about making scenery, using their products. They make it look so easy, I picked up some good tips too, so thanks heaps for sharing that. I'm sure a few other members will enjoy the link as well.

Cheers Toddy^&grin

Hi Toddy, all good mate. Admittedly the end results always look hard to create but once you have a few goes it really isn't that hard. And it is not that expensive, $100 will get you a few rock moulds, some plaster, PVA glue, some acrylic paints, a few different bags of ground cover etc. If you watch ebay in the model railroad scenery sections these guys are always unloading stuff on the cheap so bargains are always to be found. Then its just a matter of a Saturday afternoon, a cold beer and a few hours in the shed... hey presto... your either passed out on the floor from one to many beers or you have yourself a cool scenery diorama to play model soldiers... :cool:

cheers,
Marc

I like your style Marc, it's amazing what you can achieve with a couple of beers under ya belt, my problem will be convincing the wife that I need some 'man-time' as she affectionately calls it^&grin. As for the products we have a couple of local hobby stores that sell Woodland scenic stuff, plus like you say there's always ebay.....ha ha wish me luck{sm4}
