Flat32 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 You certainly are productive as well as highly skilled. I'm inspired, but you set the bar kinda high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) I thought it would be nice to take photos outside of the FTB shops as well as inside. So I went to my friend at Ziebart/Uniglass and asked if I could "borrow" his building. Then my cousin photoshopped the Ziebart/uniglass stuff off of it and photoshopped the FTB (flatheads to Boxers) stuff in. I then had a sign maker print it to scale. We agreed to make it semigloss as he would have had to open a new roll of material to do it in matte. So it ended up too glossy. The first photos are with the image's pavement which I then cut off and took one with my "pavement". I think it will be useable. I may spray it with clear matte.

crazyjim Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Looks great. I've seen some places that seal the concrete and it comes out looking just like in your pics. Easy to keep clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglia105E Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Interesting idea to show the outside of your diorama building Pat, and a clever way to do it too. I particularly like the last in the series of photos, which has the shadow cast by the recovery vehicle. Most of my diorama photos are outside the building so I have to go inside to get the alternative interior shots. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 Gave the image and the concrete apron a good fogging of Tamiya Matt to combat the glare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
