I mostly shoot with a Canon T3i that I bought back in 2012. I'm just using the basic 18-55mm lens that came with the camera. I sometimes shoot interiors with my iPhone as it has a wider angle lens.

An excellent example for people that try to say that you need top level equipment to get great images. Knowing how to use the equipment is almost always more important than the equipment itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really impressed with the kit, the proportions are excellent, fit and finish are good. My only complaints are a bit of softness in some of the detail and a slightly mis-registered decal sheet. Exterior colour is my best attempt at Metallic Maroon and was done with a mix of Mr Color lacquers. I was imagining someone ordering a Sportsroof with the optional Mach 1 interior trim and a 351C with Ram Air. I designed and 3D printed a new grill, wheels, tires, hubcaps and emblems to accomplish the exterior changes. The fit on the front bumper was a bit off on the kit grill but I think my new grill has pushed the front bumper out a bit, looks a little too far from the chromed hood trim. This was the first time I've added some deformation to the tires to help with the sense of weight on them. The hubcaps were 3D printed and covered in Bare Metal Foil and 'turned' gently with 6000 grit sandpaper. Under the hood, I redid the shock turrets, air cleaner assembly, ignition coil, distributor, spark plug boots, hood hinges, and added wiring, plumbing, oil dipstick and hose clamps. I smoothed out the valve covers from the kit and reshaped them to try to get closer to the ones on the 351C engine. The covers should have the Ford logo embossed into them I think but I like the look of it like this. The hood hinges have a couple of 2mm magnets on each side so I can remove them to lay the hood flat. A shot of the engine before installation. The interior was built with the addition of seat belts, door locks, embossing powder for carpet and a new 3D printed 2 spoke steering wheel. Also remade the gearshift as I lost the kit piece. I did find it as soon as I finished the build of course. Thanks for Looking! Martin...that is one fine, fine project you just finished. Very envious of your underhood detail in particular. And you photos/backdrop are spectacular, too! Way to go! TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
