Extremely nice build, looks fantastic!!

Martin, this sure is a very impressive model, especially seeing the last photo showing the original SnapTite model.  Wow!

The photography is also amazing. There is something about those photos that makes the model look real. I can't quite grasp it.

If you don't mind me asking, what camera did you use, and are the photos enhanced in any way, or some effects were used on them?  They just look too good!

Hey Peter, I use a Canon T3i that I've had for about 12 years now. I run all of my photos through Adobe Lightroom that allows me to adjust exposure and contrast - I create presets that allow me to use my favourite settings quickly. The biggest thing I've found for getting realistic looking photos is to get the maximum depth of field that you can. I use very small aperture settings which means shooting with a timer and a tripod even in bright outdoor lighting.

Thanks for the info Martin.

The photos just looked so darn good, I had to ask.  Yes wide depth of field will make a model photos more realistic, plus whatever enhancements you use, make it even better.  With (D)SLR cameras and wider angle lenses which can stop down to high f-stop (like 22 or higher), you can achieve pretty wide depth of field without resorting to focus stacking.  Very nice!

Fantastic work! One of the best builds I have seen, especially coming from the simple snap-kit as a basis!
