I don't know if it's the larger scale or that I really grew up with the racecars but I just can't get the pics to turn out to suit me. Here's one I did today with the 21st Century 1/18 jets.

Here's one of the 1/25 model race car pics for comparison.

I like how the jets are flying through the clouds :wink: Im just guessing here but maybe its the light reflecting off the planes that makes you think that somethings wrong, otherwise it looks great 8)

Thanks guys. I have been told that I'm too hard to please but I still think something's missing. Maybe it's just the silver on both of them is a little much. Maybe I'll try something with my WWII planes and see what turns out.

Now that i thought of it the light on the jets makes it look like the sun is reflecting off of them :wink:

It is the sun reflecting off them. I always shoot my models in natural light, it just seems to give them a more realistic look. I cut them out and put them on a picture I had from an old air show picture so the sky would match on the whole shot.
