Chuck Doan Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Messing with some selected model crops. Scales include 1/48, 1/25 and 1/16. I hope to learn more about photo processing and add a new dimension to my hobby.
Alyn Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 I love (I mean LOVE), your work Chuck. Flat out the best I have ever seen. Is the tractor displayed in true colors, or is that filtered? It would be interesting to see some of the other pieces done in black & white, or sepia tones. Extraordinary in any color.
Harry P. Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 You may still be learning Photoshop, but you have that diorama thing down! Best dio work I've ever seen.
Chuck Doan Posted September 15, 2010 Author Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) Thanks very much! The tractor shot was done indoors late afternoon, so it was kind of dark. I added a drybrush filter and lightened the shadows a bit. Very basic for now. B/W and HDR and more stuff hopefully in the future! This is my only attempt at Sepia so far: There is a lot of neat art over here. Fun going through it all! Chuck Edited September 15, 2010 by Chuck Doan

The weathering is right on and the photos are lit well.
Alyn Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 The machine shop looks great. The sepia ages it nicely. As a kid, I use to lay on the floor for hours reading a set of old books called the Book of Knowledge. That machine shop photo would have looked right at home in those old volumes; a great depiction of the early twentieth century industrial age. The gaps in the floor boards and the heavy dust look perfect.
Ben Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Are these actual models made to look like period paintings? If so, i'm awestruck!
Alyn Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Are these actual models made to look like period paintings? If so, i'm awestruck! Yes, these are close-up photographs of some of Chuck's dioramas. No matter how close you look, his work looks real. I've seen some impressive models, but with Chuck's work, I just shake my head in awe of his talent.
Guest Johnny Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Those are just some of the most realistic dio's I have ever seen in my life! True works of art!
Chuck Doan Posted September 17, 2010 Author Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) Thanks guys! Ben, Ive been messing around with Photoshop on some older model pics (instead of building). For a long time I've done model RR stuff, but lately I have tried larger scales. I really like working in 1/24, 1/25 scale(s). I'm sort of returning to my early days when I built a lot of cars (and then played with 'em!). This looks like a great place to re-acquainted with the model car hobby! There's a lot of amazing builds out there. Thanks again, Chuck Edited September 17, 2010 by Chuck Doan
Harry P. Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 How about a few more photos of your work in the Diorama section???
Tom Kren Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 WOW! You are the best first i thought it was real!
charlie8575 Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 WOW! You are the best first i thought it was real! My thoughts exactly, even with the redirect. I thought these were shots of the objects being modeled. Stunning, beautiful work. Charlie Larkin

This is my only attempt at Sepia so far: There is a lot of neat art over here. Fun going through it all! Chuck As a retired photographic pro, everything in the photo is spot on period perfect. The only fault that I see is the ID is usually handwritten not typeset.......FANTASTIC WORK Chuck!!!!!
Chuck Doan Posted October 5, 2010 Author Posted October 5, 2010 Thanks! Yeah Mike you are right; I later found some handwritten fonts online, and then realized I could just write it out myself and scan it in...Doh!
Chuck Most Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Looking good- I'm really diggin' that McCormick-Deering sign in the first photo!
David G. Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 I can almost smell the dust! Awesome work, you're truely on the next level.
