Quote from: PRR Modeler on June 21, 2025, 11:10:50 AMGreat modeling Bob. Glad you're back at it again. Can you get a closer shot of the dark gray with the drybrushed Kakhi?

Thanks, Curt! I'll try to get a closer shot of the store front in the next session. There's a minor issue with it that I may/may not try to correct but I want to show it so others can be aware of it.

Thank you, Mike! The details included in this one are really nice. Shouldn't be too much longer until I can actually start using them.  :)

Tedious work painting details. Nice job.

Rich

Thanks, Rich! Yes, painting the details is tedious and time consuming. I used to paint them as I needed them. Somewhere along the line (hmm...wasn't that a Billy Joel song?) I switched to painting most of them up front so they'd be ready when I needed them.  ;D

I'd be interested in a look at your photography set up, or how to.  The build is interesting.  No one 'bit' on your t-shirt question early on did they?

Here's my little set up, Karl.



the camera is an old Sony Cybershot. It has buttons on the back. By feel, I know which one triggers the time delay for the shutter. If I swapped it out for my newer (but still old) camera there wouldn't be any buttons on the back, and I'd probably have to pick it up every time to turn on the time delay.

No, nobody bit on my t-shirt question.  Here's the answer:

In Better Call Saul, Jimmy McGill (who becomes the eponymous Saul Goodman) transforms his life via a correspondence law degree from the University of American Samoa. McGill uses the degree to scrape his way into increasingly creative and lucrative transgressions, never unduly troubled by his legal and ethical obligations.

As Jesse Pinkman put it - "You don't want a criminal lawyer... you want a 'criminal' lawyer,"  ;D

Most higher end cameras have both corded and cordless remotes.  I don't know if a Canon DSLR/Mirrorless remote would work on a Canon point-and-click.  But, of course, you could get a cheapo used DSLR and the associated remote.  Older DSLRs are cheap, but still very good for this kind of photography!

Nice setup Bob.  And it sure seems to work for you.  I wouldn't change a thing.
