Wow that looks like perfection. Pristine stuff.


Agree on the background. Perhaps on a paving stone in the garden with


the background to the photo outside the depth of field.


Also a photo against something to give an idea of the scale of your model.


For me your published photos are very nicely taken at very nice angles.


But that is the photo side. The model is superb Dave.

Thank you Laurie for the kind comments, photographic advice taken on board, will post some more pics as and when time and weather allows!


I believe you can't beat the great outdoors for photographing models, natural light adds to the effect.

Now this is a model to be proud of and the paintwork is sublime, makes me want to tackle some automotive projects, but to get to this perfection i think it will take a lot of effort, i love it

Thanks Dan, I'm pretty proud of her. I appreciate the kind comments.


This is only my second auto build, the first was my orange Dodge Charger somewhere else on the forum, my third one is the Shelby Cobra which is on here too. So really I'm quite new to building cars, the Mustang was my first large scale build. I'm enjoying auto builds, I have not much choice really as I have another twelve cars in my stash!


I used to build aircraft so had a bit of a headstart when it comes to modelling, building cars have slightly different techniques, but any modelling can be tackled no matter what the subject, it's all part of the fun.
