    Results achieved with painting are impressive.

    Details from scale and painting makes it look real.

            Take the photo from a distance using an optical zoom to fill the frame with what subject you require.

            Use a tripod and natural light if you can, the depth of field will be larger.

            Or again using a tripod and natural light, take the photo from where you normally do but lower your shutter speed (if possible on your make of camera) and open up the aperture this will increase the depth of field as well.

                  And There was me thinking it was the tool box in the back ground that gave it away... LOL

                      For all Boote followers I have some good news if you want to equip with mines.

                      Robin (ex-Cammett) of www.scalewarship.com is now producing EMC Mines sets again. A slightly different carriage assembly, and only 3 in a set but if of his usual standard they will be worth it.

                      I have already ordered a set, and I will post pics when they arrive (hopefully soon)

                      He is also looking at producing the 'Magnetic' Conical mines often seen on the stern of some Bootes.

                      For those interested here is the link: www.scalewarships.com/store/index/php

                        Seems that Santa is coming early this year, as I have just been informed that another company is producing EMC Mines sets.

                        www.facebook.comAFVCLUB.TW is the link to the company that will be releasing them later this month.

                        I think I may have to buy a fish tank and build a submariners display with these, what with all the brilliant sub threads lately

                            An eagerly awaited little package arrived today, and finally found the time to open it!

                            Well packaged and presented, there are some good quality instructions and even a cutaway of what the internals of the real thing look like.

                            A little dressing up to do, but no more than you would expect from resin parts

                            Hopefully I will be able to find the time by the weekend to get into them.
