Hi Tony looks like you've got lots of detail going on there. If you could take some more photos as they are quite of focus that would be great.

The camera I'm using, on my ipod, doesn't have a macro lens, and when I tried to get them in focus they looked like little green rectangles on a building board.

Any advice on how to take a better picture please.

(Other than spending pots of money on a new camera)

Tony.

What scale is it?

[mossiepilot]

It another tiddler 1:72.

Cool. I just built one of these (have a search for it). Was a decent kit

[Vaughan]

Hi Tony I see that the A4 in the back ground of your cutting board is in focus and I think it wouldn't be too far from your work so try taking an image from further away. It would be great to se the detail so far.

Ignoring the focus issues, the pit does look well detailed. Nice job so far.

I'll give that a go Vaughan thanks.

And I think it was your build that made me get this one Allyne.

Tony.

Right, here we go.

Tried what Vaughan said and was disappointed, then had a thought and put a magnifier glass in front of the lens, what you think.

I also changed the background for a bit of kitchen roll to tweek the contrast.

Mmmmm , still not sure but..........

You have just solved the iPhone camera issue, Brilliant! It has actually worked rather well.

The cockpit looks great. One day when I am brave enough I might try one of these 1/72 scale aircraft.
