Inspired ......

by Hanners' Mini Adventure and The Beast, I thought I would try and do some shots of some of my Tamiya models.

Back in the late 1970's/early 80's, I would while away for hours on these kits. Incredibly detailed, they were the bees knees of model kits.

I still have three on display, of which this is one.

I have never tried close up work before and don't have a "proper" macro lens, so the 18-55 Canon kit lens was used as it can at least focus down to around 9 inches.

I placed the car on a piece of black card, slid most of it under a chest of drawers to get a dark environvent, and used natural light only.

I am quite pleased with some of the results, so depending on how this goes down, I might upload some more.

Makes a change from snow shots anyway!

Thanks for looking.
