Just got a boatload of pics today of the finished HL 1/16 Jagdpanther that Cabe custom painted for me, and I thought I would share a few of em' with you guys.... The lighting in his studio is not the greatest, nevertheless I think it turned out very nice, and it's coming back to me next week, then I'll put the tracks that I have painted and weathered back on and take some better photos, and perhaps some outdoor shots now that it has finally stopped raining here...LOL 8) Hope you guys enjoy the pics... Click thumbnail to enlarge.....

Good eye there Ken... 8) yeah, you're right... it just needs to be twisted back to vertical a few degrees, and it's very easy to do, but thanks for bringing it to my attention.

well the lighting in my studio may be too good is the problem, too much of a bad thing maybe as well

I have shop lamps that light 2 work benches with "daylight" spectrum tubes. All my lamps in the room (4 clamp on artist/architect type lamps) hsve full spectrum lamps as well.
When I photograph using this lighting it can really turn Gelb to a green/yellow and browns to purples. Does anyone have a suggestion? I mean is it beter to photograph using regular spectrum bulbs?

The reason it appears the room is badly lit is because I have all the major lights (the 2 shop lights) plugged into a foot switch, if i have them on whatever side (including the top) of the tank gets a really good glare going. So I have to keep those off and try to shoot the photos using 2 clamp lights always moving them to get rid of glare.

I agree, outdoors is best but I am always trying to get these shot and in the mail the next morning it seems
