peteski Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) Thanks for the info on your photo setup - very handy info (and you do seem to have some professional equipment at your disposal). Edited March 16, 2022 by peteski

The big takeaway is to make the light source large, soft and close to the model. :^)
NOBLNG Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 Fabulous job on this one Harry!? An thanks for the lighting tips. 1
Dragonhawk1066 Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 Outstanding! The masking effort was well worth it! 1
1959scudetto Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 Perfect model and paint - could be from a Porsche calendar or sales brochure! 1
70 Sting Posted March 16, 2022 Author Posted March 16, 2022 @Dragonhawk1066 I looked at your work on Scalemates… superb! 1
70 Sting Posted March 16, 2022 Author Posted March 16, 2022 @1959scudetto Try the lighting technique I detailed above… can make a turd look good. ?
Jim Whalen Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Lovely build of the 911. Those eighties Porsches do require a lot of masking - I did the new Revell 911 Targa kit recently and that required a lot as well. Still, I prefer it to a 70's build that would require BMF! 1

I’ve tried BMF on 2 occasions and was less than satisfied with the results - just couldn’t get it to lay down properly.
Rattlecan Dan Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 I agree with all. Fine build and excellent photography. Kudos to your attention to detail and clean work. Thanks for posting.
beeRS Posted April 22, 2023 Posted April 22, 2023 Another one I somehow missed from last year. That is one beautiful Turbo. The photography is amazing too and that does indeed look like a 1:1 car! Your masking skills must be heroic to have achieved such a great result. In the Fujimi EM kit all the black trim are separate pieces, but I think the overall proportions are more accurate in the Tamiya kit.

My eyes certainly aren’t what they used to be so I purchased one of those desktop magnifier lights which I use for all detail painting, fine filling/sanding and masking <- highly recommend. Well, Fujimi’s kit will certainly make life easier. Tamiya’s kit isn’t very detailed (by their standard) but goes together well.
