Tamiya Somua S35

[Bryan Krueger]

Thanks Olivier!

[Philipp Gross]

Nah, the colour is spot on

Well done Bryan! Want me to put it on the front page?

Philipp

[Bryan Krueger]

Thanks Philipp! Yes, if you would be so kind, that would be great. I'd post more images but I'm submitting this to a mag.

Color wise- I did a black and white version of the first image with the Tankograd. The tonal value of the model to the front photo is almost identical.

[Philipp Gross]

Will do, thanks Bryan! If you want anything else published, let me know

Another question, do you use a lightbox for photography? I've considered getting one.

Philipp

[Bryan Krueger]

No light box. A piece of poster board, a bank of 6 bare fluorescent bulbs (one with a bad ballast), and 3 pieces of white foam core to bounce the light and diffuse the shadows. I adjust Levels and Sharpness in Photoshop plus clean up any stray scuff marks on the poster board.

[Philipp Gross]

Sounds like it does just the same as a lightbox. Thanks!

Philipp

[Bryan Krueger]

Essentially yes.

Someone on a Russian langue forum posted this image for me.

[Philipp Gross]

Kinda looks like an 80's rock album cover

The pattern of mud splatters on the suspension covering is interesting...

Philipp

[Bryan Krueger]

There are some very interesting patterns in the book that if you tried to replicate would look fake on the model.

A job well done.
