The yellow really works on this model and the decal flames are perfect for the color. The pictures are a little blurry so they detract from our being able to enjoy more of the details. Shoot your models against a white sweep which you can easily make with white paper or cheap thin poster board. Keep sharing the eye candy with us.

I think, it's possible to take pretty good quality pictures with cell phone too. John says it all, and I've tried this too: Use white poster when you take pictures, as a background. And you need good light. Don't take pics too close, otherwise you end up with those pictures on the top. Take pictures from longer distance, and then maybe that cropping. I can't explain it in english, but maybe someone else can explain it better....

Cropping is simply going into a full image and taking a smaller detail from it, as shown below. You're just reframing the image. On a Mac, it's an easy process of hitting command/3, press down the mouse and draw your cursor across the part you want to crop and highlight it, then release the cursor to make the screen shot, which in my case appears as a file on my desktop. Then you post it to your image service. Much the same process is used at this free site (there are others, some may be better) or you may already have an image editing tool on your computer. At this site, you just pull on the corners of the box to locate the area you want to crop.

This means:

• If you get the cell camera further away from the model, the sharper the car will be. (Be sure to keep the camera phone steady. I brace my arm on a box or a chair.)

• After you've downloaded your image to your computer, just crop in tighter on the car.
