The souvenir hunter

Really really good. Highest quality, including the photography. You said recently that your Lanc was photographed using a

Canon Digital Rebel camera. Is it an expensive camera, and does it have a very good, therefore expensive, (sharp) lens which might account for your very sharp photos?

Thanks for your post, Steve. It's an oldish DSLR (2005) and is only 8mp, but is fine for model photography. The lens is a 28-70 zoom, a Canon lens but not one of their professional series. The Nikon which you mentioned you use is a far better camera than the Rebel XT. These pics were shot in a light tent which I use for most model pics, except where they're too big to fit comfortably as was the case with the Lanc.

I also have used a light tent for models smaller than a Lanc. Perhaps I will build a larger tent out of a cardboard packing case with most of the sides cut out.

'I aspire to be a modeller with talent-lacking that, I shall admire the creations of masters without envy but with awe!'

Superb skill and vision to create a lovely piece, painting, detailing, weathering all come together to create a wonderful subject and story. I love it.

I built this a few years ago from Tamiya's lovely 1/25 GMC 'Deuce-and-a-half' kit. It depicts a souvenir hunter perusing his stash of captured booty, including a rudder from a Revell 1/32 Bf109 and various weapons/accessories from Italeri and Tamiya sets. Figure is a Royal Models resin kit, as is the ring-mounted .50 cal MG.

Olive drab as never looked sooooooo good I have the same kit and may leave it in the stash for a couple of more years while I try to increase my painting and weathering skills.even the dog looks happy. Nice one Mike.it's already been said lets have more armour from your good self how about this nice little famo truck and trailer it's crying out for your handy work
