Matt Bacon Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 A few taken to experiment with a new photography set-up which I thought I'd share: bestest, M.
Mike_G Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Top-notch work there, I especially like the Miura. What color is the 2nd Ferrari?
Randy D Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Hello Matt, Beautiful photos, what is your new set-up ? Thanks, Randy
hobbybobby Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 A great trio, very nice and clean, love the Lambo Miura in green!
Matt Bacon Posted March 14, 2015 Author Posted March 14, 2015 Thanks very much, guys... @MikeG -- the SA Aperta is my take on Ferrari Rosso Fuoco, made by using Tamiya rattle cans: TS-39 Mica Red over TS-84 Metallic Gold. I came up with the idea after building an Iron Man armour, and thinking that the red over gold looked very like the "electric red" of the Ferrari. There's no visible flake at all, which matches the original rather well... @Randy D -- softboxed powerful sidelights and a white background (plus a tripod) is the key. I'll take a photo of the set-up next time I construct it! bestest, M.
atomicholiday Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Beautiful models! Very well built. And the photography is great too.

When I was about 13 a kindly sportscar saleman let me sit in a brand-new Miura SV after I told him I had the matchbox car. I asked him how much it cost and he said $28,500
Drake69 Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 I must build a few Euro cars at some point. Excellent work on these!
peekay Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Nice shots, your new setup seems to work just fine.
Stray Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 clean and sharp and the photography is great! Aced it on all counts man.
beeRS Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Great looking models and photography there Matt. What kit is the 250 SWB from? Thanks for sharing you photography set up. You don't say what your camera spec/lenses are? Just curious, as I have recently bought a new camera and I'm looking for the right type of lens for this kind of work.
Matt Bacon Posted March 16, 2015 Author Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks very much, guys... here's a new one: ...you can tell that this one has been on my shelf a while! bestest, M.
Matt Bacon Posted March 16, 2015 Author Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) If anyone wants any more details of the set up I'm using, there's an explanation here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2305&p=1387674 bestest, M. Edited March 16, 2015 by Matt Bacon
darthsideous Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Wow your builds are just beautiful. Fantastic photography
1959scudetto Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 superb models, Matt - I especially like the Stirling Moss-driven Rob Walker 250 SWB - is it the Gunze hi-tech kit?
