harti20 Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Hi all As I took some gallery pictures last week, I also had the Benz Patent Motorwagen with me, so I can finally present you the final images of this beautiful kit. The WIP can be found here: I hope you like the pictures even though they might be a little to temporary for this kind of car 🙂 Urs 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteski Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Excellent model and superb photography! Looks like you have the model placed on a front-surface mirror, which is a nice effect. But how did you achieve the nice seamless neutral background and very even lighting? Is there some Photoshop trick to it? Maybe you could take some photos of you photo setup and post them in the Tips and Techniques section? I would love to see what it looks like.

The model sits on a large piece of black glass (used to be a table board) and is lit by two studio flash lights, while another two flashlights illuminate the background. The only thing I have to do in Photoshop is to brighten up the background to remove the visible edge where the glass ends, as can be seen here: When I'm at the studio the next time I'll take some better pics of my setup and create a thread in the Tips and Techniques section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattilacken Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Beautifull build! Looks just as a 1:1. The only give away might be the belt you mentioned in the WIP. Great work never the less and an epic model! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugatti Fan Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 That is a clever photography setup, and a very nice model of such an unusual subject. For those who do not have the use of Photoshop perhaps a large sheet of reflective silver card that perhaps might be sought at an art supplier could be used to create a seamless curved background to give a similar effect.

I never thought of using black reflective surface, but it makes perfect sense with white backdrop illuminated by an umbrella light. You have some professional photographic equipment at your disposal.
