Thanks. taking photos is still somthing i am working on. Luckly my model building is better than my photography.

nice works man.

just pictures are a little too dark  

you can use manual settings?

Sorry guys, i missed all the posts from Tigerman down. that would have been about the time i was heading to the falklands, so that will be why i missed them.

fermis, you have a good point there. Of course that was not my intention, i was more trying to give the look of marks left behind by the tires of aircraft. But looking at it again, it does give that illusion. And its something i have been thinking about, how to show an aircraft taxing or in the process of taking off.  I will have to practice this, see if i can create the impression of aircraft moving at different speeds.

Now, i just need to remember how i did this one.

And thanks for the comments guy.

 Very nice!

I think you may have stumbled across something though!!! The concrete finish with the 262 makes it look like the plane is moving. I think you could get away (farely convincingly) with a plane just lifting off from that one!

I think you're right fermis, if the dark seam between concrete sections was feathered/blurred I think it could be quite convincing...hmmmmm

Great work on all Bish. It's funny, I have the Hasegawa kit of the 262 completed (the first time I ever had to cut a hunk of plastic out of an otherwise fine kit!), and the P1101 I have built up from the Revell Germany boxing - great minds think alike!

Very nice work!

Very nice little dios.  well done .

Very nice builds. I've always liked the Salamander.

Ahhhh, funny I can see all the nameplates clearly on my home computer. The monitor on the office one must be a great deal darker.

Again, good stuff Bish.

Thanks guys. I do plan on doing some dio's in the future with a bit more going on. Such as engines being fixed, bombs being loaded etc. I like to try and portray realistic scenes.

Yes, the namplates have been marked up. I know the first one is hard to see as the wood stain is to dark. The other two are showing up when i look at the pics.

Hey Bish these look great! Sharp looking paint schemes, nice weathering, great job on the airstrips- all around terrific work. I esp like the realistic looking NM on the P.1101/Me-424. The different shades of aluminum look very convincing. 

I like the simple dios since it shows off the a/c as it should without distracting stuff. And the figures give a nice sense of scale.

Only question is the nameplates (I'm assuming that's what they are) look a solid colour. Have you not put the names on them yet, is it the lighting that they don't show up, or am I blind?  

Nice looking kits Bish. I really like the first one.
