Of course, they don't really fly, but look like...

... Just wanted to share with you these pictures before going to eBay.
My BBI F-16 in air defense and bomber configurations:





And my 21st Huey with rocket pods and carrying a dirty 21st Mutt SEAL vehicle:





What you don't see is my huge improvised bamboo framework and the strong fisherman's thread to hang these birds without any crash. If you try to do the same, take care to the wind direction and the shadows of the frame and photographer...

Great pictures, granch.

The F-16 in particular.

Fantastic photographic work! I really like how the F-16 came out. The flying effect works great on the jet as one normally wouldn't see anything (afterburner glow) from the angle you shot the photos, so it looks pretty realistic. You should use that photo in your ebay auction

You could have fooled anyone with those F-16 shots. Talk about looking real

Looks real to me!

GRANCH,

Great photos. The F-16 photos look like the real thing.

If you have photos of other 1/18 models, I hope you post those, too.

[rjvilla82]

nice job! kinda inspires me to take up photography again.

[granch]

Thank you all for your feedback. I show here 2 more pics from the same subjects.





Dragon 53, I usually prefer to make temporary outdoor dioramas rather than "just" take photos of models, but if you want to have a look here, hoping you'll enjoy it:

GRANCH,

If you have other 1/18 models beside the F-16 and UH-1, I sure hope you make diorama photos of the others.
I recognize some of your photos from Foxhole's albums. They're really good, so I hope you do more in the future.

wow.. very cool!

[granch]

Thank you again. Have a nice collection as you can see at photobucket and yes, I've sent many pics for the Foxhole's collector gallery. Still have a lot of projects in head, depending on the weather, daylight and landscape. When Foxhole will have published the result of their contest, I'll show an other F-16 (ground) diorama.
By the way, did somebody custom a 1/18 F-14 or F/A-18 with all flaps down and airbrake out, landing on a carrier deck? Ive been asking me if it could be possible with the Powerteam Elite F-18, less costs and loss and finally not so bad when the plane is seen from the nose, a wide angle view could stretch the persective of these compressed toy planes, making the picture more realistic...

[pickelhaube]

I have to agree with the guys the F-16 looks real !!!!!

The Huey is not bad either.

Great pics !!

Granch, these are great shots!! Your dioramas are some of the best I've seen as well!
Great work, keep it up.

Wow, how do you do that?! Those are awesome pictures.
