I am sorry that this showed up in the Very last issue of our go to Scale Auto Magazine.
The article about Lace painting was intriguing.To bad it used colors and photo angles that did NOT allow the Lacy patterns to show through. I am NOT a Photographer I will admit. There is no way I would,ve used that much light and shadow on that model for showing the results. In the Blue panels ( Too Dark) the angle was so and glare such it defeated the purpose of showing the lacy pattern the article was about. This is something that MUST and I repeat MUST be done BEFORE all those layers of final clear-Coat are piled on!
Soft lighting in a more direct angle would,ve shown off all the hard work better. Nice try though. I have lace painted off and on for years. I always finish with a Semi-Gloss coat for Photos, then Gloss the daylights out of it for protection!
