Madmax Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Lovely photographs Marcel! Are you using a new camera, or have you changed how you take the photo's? Would be keen to know some pointers including f-stop etc... Sean Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be keen to know some pointers including f-stop etc... Sean Thx Sean! Good lighting is key to good photography and I presently don't have a good facility to take pics inside. The pics above were taken outside on a cloudy day just as the sun was setting, so perfect diffuse light. I wasn't able to take outside pics when I finished the F-16C since it was winter then, at lower temperatures there is a very high risk of the photoetch parts jumping off the model. Thanks to Chuck's nudging I have now started playing around with a good photography package, my notebook has a free version of Photodirector 8 installed. The effects of some of the functions are really remarkable, the crispness that you see in the above pics is attained with Photodirector. I use a Nikon D3200 set to Aperture priority mode (another useful suggestion from Chuck), obviously on a tripod. Nothing more special than that. Cheers, Marcel Madmax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Wow Marcel, these both turned out wonderfully, but the Alaska aggressor is really nice. Ive got a Zacto intake, cockpit and the Monokio decals for the two seat F-16D red 75 to do myself. If it turns out half as well as yours Ill be a happy man!

Dandiego Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Amazing work Marcel. I am planning on doing the splinter scheme. Hope mine looks half as good as yours. Dan Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got that decal sheet, and I think that it is the best aggressor scheme currently available. But the two examples that you've done are some of the best models I've seen. I see the aggressor squadron has just done a flanker digital scheme on a viper, hopefully someone will create the decals for that and you have a go at it. Thanks! Must say I will be taking a long break from F-16's after my current F-16D. But those digital schmes are interesting, maybe I will do this some time :-) https://images.app.goo.gl/xZfjW9dCouZaQxZu5 Cheers, Marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
