Matt Bacon Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Surely... that's a real one. Isn't it? Awesome build, and brilliant photos, too. Is that Photoshop, or do you have a supercool graduated tint background for your pictures, too? Literally the only thing that gives away that it ISN'T real is the panel lines and door handles. I don't know what, if anything, I'd have done differently, especially on a white car like this, but if they were sharply delineated it'd look JUST like the photos on Aston's web site... Superb job. bestest, m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb job. bestest, m. Ditto! Sportandmiah brings up an interesting point though.... The door handle on the drivers side can be seen quite clearly but on the passenger side it seem's to have "disappeared"??

krazyglu Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Those brake's alone are a work of art, the little emergency brake caliper is the first I have seen on a model kit. I believe the handle's are there ,but the reflection has hid them Doug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportandmiah Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I've looked at some of your other builds Gaurav and they are very nice. The pictures of those other cars are crisp and clear, and the cars look like very well built models. But this Aston Martin I am having some doubts. There appears to be a lot of Photo Shop involved. The pictures are very pixelated when zoomed in. This appears to either be the real 1:1 car, or a diecast model. Please prove me wrong. I'd like to see some clear close up shots of the interior, engine, bottom of chassis, and suspension. If I am wrong, than I apologize for making a fuss, and indeed I will be the one to look like a fool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am wrong, than I apologize for making a fuss, and indeed I will be the one to look like a fool. No problem dude... Let me clear up a few things... The pictures are colour / brightness corrected and the background is photo shopped! Apart from modelling i love photography... and the one thing you learn in photography is no matter how good a photographer you are, the image sensor of the camera is just not good enough to captures the depth of colour and brightness as our eyes... to enhance the picture further, post processing is a must!! I do understand that the door handle markings cannot be seen.... there's a reason for that too! Firstly, the passenger side markings are very faint as i didn't scribe them before painting and the passenger side markings are almost completely hidden! (my mistake) Secondly, i'm shooting a white car on a black background with immense amount of light!.... this is a photographer's worst nightmare... till date i think white on black photography is considered to be a very difficult thing to do justice to, just because of the amount of light the subject reflects... the camera is set at a very high shutter speed to capture this picture, but still the light manages to wash out some parts of the model! I have a thread on another forum detailing the build process of this car.... i'm not sure if the admins will allow me to post the link here but if they do then the link is right here (below).... please feel free to go through it.... you'll get all the clear close up pics of the car without photoshop!! Oh and BTW... this is NOT a real car nor a Die-cast model (no one sells a detailed DBS in die-cast till date!)

meaneyme Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Very nice but sorry, I am with Doug on this one, a lot of the actual model is certainly Photoshoped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the handle's are there ,but the reflection has hid them Doug. Thanks man!! My favourite part on this car were the brakes!! Yup, the handle's there... just a little too faint to see with all the bright white light!!! (i believe it can be seen slightly in the last pic! I never thought it would look so good in white. Amazing built! Congratulations! Thanks !! Cant believe, that i "only" see a modelcar. WOW! Thanks! This is so nice I expected to see Jeremy Clarkson sitting in it.
