Title: Bar Mills Oakleaf.
Post by: Polux on July 16, 2016, 03:15:26 PM
Hey all.
This one is finished as a simple kit, without a base or similar. I just hope to add it on a layout someday......  ???

Cheers

Really nice work.  Looks fabulous.

One thing I might suggest is some extra piles under the buildings - especially under all the corners of the buildings.

Cheers,mark.

Really well done. Only excellent modeling holds up when photographed so close up. The painting and weathering is really top notch.

Glad you reposted with the diorama scenery.  I never would have caught the original photos. Just screams "summer" to me.  Might have to keep a copy of that handy during the winter.

Obviously photos taken outdoors. But did you have any specifics in the staging the shoot....in the shade, certain time of day, or did you simply get lucky with when you snapped them and all the elements came together?

Nope!
I have a DSLR camera, but to be lazy.... I don't use it and after I should edit the photos, so I used the phone....
I just expected to shoot at the end of the afternoon, when the light is more pleasant. the bottom is, simply, the forest that I have at home ...

Hope this helps.

I love the photography!!! So I'm sure next time will use the camera and have a funny moments shooting this and other models.

What is you technique for the windows and doors, it is simply good dry-brushing? Love your work.
Thanks
