The reason why it is slightly shaking while taking these pics is because the amount of light at the front of the subject is not enough which causes the shutter speed to go slow to let in more light. By putting a good light source (sun) at the front of it. It will cause the shutter speed on a camera or on your phone to take the photo at a higher speed which should avoid the shakiness and also a more crisp photo. I hope that helps Sorry if you already knew, just wanted to mention it just in case. Looking forward to seeing some good photos of your build

Milan, The amount of detailing you've put in those nose bays is Amazing and the amount of work you've done to get to this stage, that is truly a love of modelling. Great work thanks for showing us all. Milan, Can I ask you when you take your next lot of photos by any chance can you put the light at the front of the subject or maybe take it outside on a really nice sunny day it will really make that model of yours stand out a lot more. The photos here have got too much white glare at the background that is washing your image subject away and making it grainier and out of focus. Great Model Milan

Also, the last few of The Weathering MAGs that I've been waiting to come in from Europe have now arrived I'm only missing one waiting for the reprint. And below are some of the more recent magazine & books that I've been collecting in the last few years

My F-35B's came in, only took 5 days (also got a F-35C not in the photo) got them locally cost me an extra 40 bucks (for the B's). But that's the way it is.

Have a look at the links below, it'll give you an idea what you may want to think about it. I think it's good, I haven't done anything with it in the box but I like it http://largescaleplanes.com/walkaround/wk.php?wid=185 https://imgur.com/a/cNPgR Cheers

Great News Thanks for the iNFO, I'll take Two!

I purchased this off this eBay guy (bigpaul-br) about 2 months ago and so far I haven't as yet received it, 3 weeks ago I had no choice but to open a case he did reply and mention “If not arrived yet, I could send another set, this time with tracking number. I've been having some problems with Brazilian mail. If you agree with that, please close the case.†So, I did what he's asked I close the case, let him know and waited a week. I then sent him another email saying that I have not heard from him and that I haven't received a tracking number yet, he replied by saying “Hi. Sorry for that. I will be sending another set to you. This will be done later this week. So I'll send you your tracking number Thanks, Paulo.†Two more week go by So, the other day I send him an email requesting an update; no reply. So, rang eBay and even though I did close the case eBay have still refunded me my full $60 AUD I'm disappointed that it had to come to this because I was really looking forward to getting hold of that MiG-29 Slovak Splinter Scale-Pro camo mask. Has anyone here at LSP actually managed to receive any of his stuff?

Great looking shine you got there Jim, it's looking good

Very amazing detailed painting their Chuck as everyone's mentioned above. I've been watching these emails come in my phone all day, I've got about 20 or so just from “Kicked Up A Notch†and have just had a chance now to have a look at my computer… nice. Plus, as you've mentioned the detail under that paintwork does stand out especially now with those bigger photos you've showing. Thanks,

Ok, so when you say you've been setting up galleries I guess you're meaning you've got the main album as for example F-15 and then within that you got multiple albums for different categories for example 1 for your own photos and 1 for your build photos and 1 more for your reference photos that you're using on the forum is that what you can do? See with Imgur you can't do that you've got to have a different album for everything on the main page which becomes pretty busy and cluttered. If U put everything there you could end up having hundreds of albums all on the main page

Hey Brian, Nice setup you got there at Smugmug, I clicked on your link a few hours ago and it took me to your front page but have you done anything to it since then? because I've just tried to click on it again and now it's telling me Page Not Found I've been using Imgur for the last 6 months and one thing I don't like about it is you can't do albums within an album so I was wondering can you with Smugmug or Imageshack as you can with PB

Great Execution on the gun barrel, Chuck Looking Good!

Looking forward to Following this build, two Birds on thread, Nice!!

Eric, Your Spirit of St Louis is simply SUPERB, Great detailing and scratchbuilding

Congratulations on your finished model, looks great and thanks for showing us an amazing build from start to finish

I've been using my Roland Camm One which is pretty old now for cutting vinyl mainly for signage when I used to do it for work and as far as software goes I've used the CADlink's Signlab Pro for vectorising and cutting the vector images and fonts on the plotter. For those who are in Australia and maybe interested where to buy material I get all my material from Graphic Art Mart they have a shop in nearly every state now. But this silhouette Cameo print and cut machine sounds pretty good I wouldn't mind buying one myself as I want to tackle making some masks and stencils (MiG-29AS 0921) for the new Trumpeter MiG-29A that's coming out soon. Plus, for those that have actually made their own decals how good are these home-made decals do they stand the length of time you know adhere good onto the model and not fade assuming you don't put it in direct sunlight So where can we buy this decal stencil sheets? does anyone have a name of any supply shop here in Australia or online that sells them?

Yes I agree great looking plane and nice build as well that you've got there, and I like that paint scheme you've picked plus that map; centre of attention when you look in the cockpit... Love It!

Question when you say get a custom decal/mask made up do you mean at home do it yourself with the right sort of paper or do U mean people/company that does one off custom decals if so would you know of any that you can mention Thanks

I'll second that, amazing and INCREDIBLE work you're doing there chuck your OCD is definitely getting worse on every build you do In another words the models are getting better and better

That's looking good Jim, How appropriate you got your flags down just in time for Anzac day tomorrow I must say 10 out of 10 this Aussie Hornet is really going to look good when you've finished it!

Yes very nice looking plane, too many schemes to choose from. As mentioned above those decals are available but if you are in favour of the Tiger head but don't like the digital camo scheme you can always wait for Trumpeter to bring out the MiG-29US and use the scheme below. I hope to eventually buy two Trumpeter MiG-29 A's and maybe make one as a Polish Air Force and the other one as Slovak Air Force One. Only problem there is no 32 scale sheet for it! hopefully some decal company might come to the rescue and design one for both the MiG-29AS & the MiG-29UBS in 32 scale… But if that doesn't happen I'm quite happy to give it a shot myself, what have I got to lose (a week on the computer) I mean it's not that hard I'm more at ease trying to scratch design a decal sheet then scratch build and an entire 32 scale plane, so far I've collected roughly 90 photos of the MiG-29AS 0921 as reference as far as the camo goes I can cut it out on my old Roland plotter and with the images (tiger head), well hopefully if someone could please steer me in the right direction to some reputable company that does one off decal prints…

Thanks for your response CaracalModels but that's disappointing to hear maybe somebody else might want to give it a shot. But if all else fails, well if you if you can scratch build a model plane I'm sure you (I) can scratch build/design some decal sheet for the MiG-29AS 0921. Where there's a will there's a way

Can't wait till this great looking aircraft comes out; I've put one on order at Hannants some time ago when they first listed it. There are so many great looking schemes out there that I may need (want) to buy two, as Zero77 said. Looking forward to having a look at (and buy) this new Caracal Models 1/32 MiG-29 sheet. But what I wouldn't mind is the opportunity also to do it in a Slovak Air Force scheme. I would have to say this is one of the best looking MiG's out there. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think there's a 1/32 scale decals sheet for these markings. What a great opportunity for a decal company maybe Caracal Models to tackle it (Yes?), a decal sheet for the digital camo plus the tiger's head and with alternative option to do a Peel Away Stencil sheet for the camo if you choose to want to paint it on, I'll buy one! (or two).

Just saw this F-35 thread for the first time. I received my 1/32 F-35A roughly 3 weeks ago, and back then I took some photos of it; if anyone's interested I've posted some of them on imgur if U would like to have a look at them you can find them here… https://imgur.com/a/cNPgR The photos are 3200 pixels across, half of the original size I also posted some photos of the real thing that I took at the Avalon Air Show and as well the F-35 seat that was on display. There's some good reference photos… https://imgur.com/a/vE8cO I'd like to eventually make mine as an Australian version, and if or when they do bring out the C version in 1/32 I wounded mind try and do a diorama as a US Navy one just hovering off a carrier deck as though it was just about to land. PS. I read here somewhere that Tamiya is making one, is that true?

Great thread Dale and also great bunch of planes/photos here; one of my favourites is the B-17. Here's my contribution some old, some new, some painted and some mine. Another old favourite is the F-14 one of the photos that I've put up here, there are so many photos on the net but I think this one says it all just Can't Stop Looking At It Thanks,
