The other guy looks like he could be using a mobile phone, or maybe writing something on a notepad..... David I think that is what he's doing, however I intend to make him examine a small part, like a carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglia105E Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 The first of your two photos is particularly interesting, Pat...... the guy in the blue shirt looks very realistic, especially the hair style. The distance and the angle from your camera has created a convincing composition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglia105E Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I like the plans on the table, Pat....... and the two guys discussing the next project. As regards the photo of the Ferrari engine, I did not notice the front cover was not the same colour as your model engine..... I thought you might like it as a reference photo.

I've been looking for guys in coveralls but other than the racing scene ones and/or the ones in the garage sets I haven't found any. And I find the ones from the sets aren't as realistic.
