    Newbie B26 Marauder 1/48

    Hi all this is my first post and my first model since my last ever attempt of one 22 years ago! Think I have overdone the salt chipping technique but for my first attempt am happy. Hope to post more projects and show improvement as I practice and master the techniques. If anyone can suggest some good resources about model building in general and weathering it would be much appreciated. Any feedback and tips would be welcome. I would also appreciate advice as to how best to get quality photos on here as I had lots of trouble!

    Very nice looking model, but could you possibly make the pictures bigger? I use the standard 800 by 600 and it's the usual forum standard. For photo quality, you could take the model outside and try to shoot when the sun is out. It will give the picture a natural lighting and the model will look more natural with the shadow and all that. I dont shoot if its too bright because the picture becomes distorted, late afternoon is usually a nice time.

      Hi, I'll second that about the pic size-it's hard to comment as I can't really see the model! For tips & stuff, I'd suggest that you look through some threads on here or the other sites. For specific help, post up your questions as there are alot of knowledgeable people here who are more than happy to help.

          Hi all, thanks for the comments, for anyone else having trouble with regards to photos have found using windows live photo gallery works a treat and is very easy! Tony I did wonder with regard to the props! Going to try and touch them up a little! I see there are many hints and tips on here but can anyone suggest any good books? Cheers Rich
