Jantrix Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) congrats to the winners and runner ups! sucks i wasnt one of em ....but hey....its all picture taking ability eh? Well it's half the equation alright, building a nice model is the other. Lets face it, its about preparation. If you are going to build a model for a photo contest then you are doing yourself no service if you don't find out how or find someone who can take good pictures. Excuses like, "I'm just a kid/I can't a afford/all I have is a camera-phone/don't know how" just don't wash. Because odds are you know somebody with a decent camera. A friend, neighbor, family member, a teacher....anybody, who has a digicam with a macro setting. It's got to become part of your build plan. Build, paint, polish, pictures. Plan ahead. By the way Bandit1, this little speech isn't aimed at you, I'm just ranting in general, and just using your post as a jumping off point. Congrats to all the winners and everyone else who tried their best. You know more for next time and thats how we all get to the winners circle.

1930fordpickup Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Yea he was one that I was sure was going to win something.The other charger in his division didn't even sand off the copyrights. I would have thought that he would take home a prize also! On the copyrights being sanded off . It is a REVELL contest , why sand off their name? Ace your car is cool also but the judge has to agree with us on that one. LONG LIVE THE NNL NATIONALS !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniej01 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) I just used my camera phone and sun light with a white background. You don't have to have a studio or an expensive camera to take good pics. Just need good lighting at the right time of day. The golden hour. Early in the day and later in the day, when the sun isn't so bright. Take lots of pics and choose the best of the bunch.

dimebolt Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I totally agree. The right lighting is essential. I took my photos on my kitchen countertop with my son's Kodak 8mp digital. Use white card stock for backdrop. Work's great. Corey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippie Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Congratulations to all the winners, Great job! Just my 2 cents so don't kill me but in my option the resin Ace-grageguy didn't win was because it looks almost as if his model is too good, it doesn't look like you use 50% of the parts just looks like you used the body, unfortunately due to revell not letting you describe your work the judges didn't realize that you where in the right, and not breaking there main rule, when in fact you did use a lot more of the kit then it looks, just its all modified. Still the model is great looking, Any ways here was my entire, was entered in the novice class, didn't win anything but it pushed me to build another muscle car which I hadn't really experienced much before. But I'm really glade I have now. Congratulations to the winners again.... Edited July 20, 2012 by Hippie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin T Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 I'm not sure.I contacted revell about showing the honorable mentions and they said they couldn't show their models,very strange if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunajammer Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 They can't show everything online or it would undermine interest in the show before it airs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin T Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 They can't show everything online or it would undermine interest in the show before it airs. Here's the e-mail I got back "Good morning Austin. Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, we are unable post pictures of the honorable mentions. Regards, Juliette" I don't thing they are going to show them period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
