monthebiff Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Super progress Jan, those clear resin parts in HpH can be pretty challenging at times. Very nice work indeed!! Regard. Andy Jan_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan_G Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 well, after I have finished my Ho 229 I restarted Uhu build I spent several evenings with sandin and filling and almost lost any motivation to finish it. but everything has changed after I have started to paint it and now I'm sure that I will finish it It's a great kit of great plane basic paint job done with subtle shading and ready for gloss coats. Everything painted with Mr.Paint stuff Didn't play a lot with engines because it will be almost invisible,so I added just some wires Sorry for overexposed pictures, I'm still trying to set up my lights for shooting thanks for looking jan florin13, Mirek O, Harrison90 and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Looks terrific, Jan! If you can, shoot in RAW, as you'll have much more control over exposure and white balance after the photo is taken, making it far easier to fix any problems you find.

Jan_G Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 Thanks guys for all your comments! HPH kits are a little challenging but rewarding as well. I made a commitment that I can not even think of the upcoming A-20 and DC-3 until I have finished at least two more HPH models....with floats jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_G Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 (edited) Looks terrific, Jan! If you can, shoot in RAW, as you'll have much more control over exposure and white balance after the photo is taken, making it far easier to fix any problems you find. Kev Thanks Kev for the advice, but for some time I'm shooting all photos in RAW. I'm using basic Canon 100D camera with 18-55mm lens and tripod. Manual set up - auto white balance, ISO 100, aperture F22 and playing only with shutter speed. Using gloss flipchart paper as a background. I think the problem will be in the lighting of the scene. Currently using 2 cheap chinese 135W lamps for product photography bought on ebay but without softboxes. It may be more appropriate to use stronger lights or 3rd light above with softbox. Well I have to play with it. And any advice would help jan Edited November 6, 2017 by Jan_G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Your set up sounds really good, Jan! I think some softboxes will really do the trick for you. And I still think your photos are pretty good overall! Kev Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_G Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 This was my first attempt with wet transfers. Several lessons learned. If you are using Mr. Softer NEO and Mr. Setter NEO, don't follow HGW instruction to use softer. Setter is the right product for it. Huge advantage is that even if you will tear off part of the transfer when removing transparent film after it has completly dried, you have another chance with warm watter and setter. I did dashed lines on 2 attempts General I'm satified and I think that this is the best decal solution for me. Now I need to fix all issues (almost all crosses have some missing parts) Another thing is that hakenkreuz and fuselage markings look to my eyes way too big, but i'm not expert and don't have any photo of this particular airframe thanks for looking jan tucohoward, LSP_Kevin, blackbetty and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
