Thanks everyone. I have an IPhone 6 Plus I'll try to some photos with that. I'll let you know if I need some help John thanks.

WoW!! That's a beauty
The level of detail is great, very well done!

Thanks Pol.lox.

I spent some time reading about how to properly use my camera, it's a Canon EOS Rebel T3i 600d. I sorted out the depth issues I was having by adjusting the aperture way up and mounting the camera on a tripod. Here are some of the results, let me know what you think.

They look great Steve.  The tripod is a must with the longer exposures required when you get down to f22. I use a Cannon 50D that I spent  lots of money on a few years back.  Your iPhone will take as good or better photographs of your models.  I use my SLR for outside scenery pictures, but the iPhone is the camera of choice for me when I'm taking pictures of models.

The photography is fascinate...like your build
I always shot my modeling photos with the SLR, using a tripod too, and is a very good option. You only need to take care about choice a correct white balance.

Thanks guys. I plan on doing some outside shots when I get a nice day.

Steve,

Very nice job. I only wish I had enough patience for one of the Brett's kits.

When it comes to the photos I like controllable environment i.e. indoors with the lights.

Thanks Vilius. Brett's kits don't require any more patience than any craftsman kit, in a lot of ways they are easier than most. Everything is very well engineered for the best results with the least frustration.

Good morning everyone. I made some more progress detailing the interior of the barn, I'm almost done I believe.


I needed something big for the other side but most of the detail will be difficult to see when the roof is on. I had a Woodland Scenics tractor kit on my shelf, it was perfect for the inside of the shed. The castings in the kit aren't the best quality but good enough for a background area. I added a few other castings to the area as well. The oil spill under the tractor is just Floquil graphite paint.


This is mostly the angle you will be able to see that area of the interior.


I needed something above the workbench on the left of the car. I made this using a couple strips of wood and some laser cut wood details from VectorCut. The VectorCut details are very nice but very fragile. I damaged a few trying to get them off the sheet.

Here is the board installed above the workbench.


This is the view you will see when the roof is closed up.

Thanks for checking in, next step is adding a few small details and figuring out the lighting.

Steve,
Really nice work coloring the wood on your build and using that texture brush tip on the roofing shingles. Like the Vector cut tools for that extra detail.
