Airfix jackal

[downscale model art]

thanks laurie. i think its best if i go to a proper camera shop so i can explain exactly what i need. that way, they can show me how to set it up etc. its only going to be used to photograph models so i dont really want to spend megabucks

Careful there Rob as some of these assistants do no have much of a clue.

A thought. Your later pictures the last two are very nice and in focus (also detail of the model is looking good). No doubt you wanted them a bit closer to see the detail.

There are very cheap editing photo programmes. With these you can crop the photo which gives an automatic enlargement of the original photo. The cropping choose able in the area you want it. I do this for mine and it works well.

They are easy to use and could save money on getting another camera. In enlarging an area there is a bit of loss but not much. If you PM the last photo as a JPEG I will crop it and you can see the result.

Any further help please shout.

Very nice Jackal, lovely work.

I specially like the "volume" on this little scene.

As I said before, the minimum macro focus of Robs camera is 10cm - thats the Canon spec.

As for spending £99, why? Mine cost a tenner & I can get this close

Looking good, what colour did you use for the paint job ?

Looks good and very imaginative base, are those the Airfix figures?
