Joel_W Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Phantom, Another exceptional model build. Really most impressive.Have you ever thought about doing a build blog especially like this conversion? My only suggestion is trying to increase the depth of field in your pictures as half the helicopter is out of focus. If you can't make those adjustments, you can try to focus 1/3 the way down from the front of the 'copter to increase the total area of DOF. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Barneydhc82 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 If you have a camera with a few extra selections on the menu, try setting it for Aperture Priority which will give a better depth of focus. Barney Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 This is a really old hand me down camera. Its as goos as its going to get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Phantom, Three things you can do to help increase the limited depth of field so the entire aircraft is in focus, is to increase the distance from the camera to the model, that will increase your depth of field. Us any online free photo editing program that allows you to crop. Try keeping the angle that you photograph the model to 30 degrees or less. That decreases the depth of field issues as well. And lastly, as I mentioned before, using hyper critical focusing, which is a fancy term for focusing on the a point 1/3 into the subject rather then the very front of the subject will also help to keep the entire aircraft in focus.

phantom Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Not a matter of the camera. That is as good as my eyes can see the dang thing. If it looks clear I shoot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Rebuild of my first 1/48 Hasegawa Phantom. Tore it down and replaced the tails with some spares from Academy.

Big Daddy Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 We have a bunch of 1/72 kits in our gift shop at the hangar that aren't moving. I guess kids just aren't building them any more. Anyway, i decided to bring this one home, build it and then see if it would sell. It's from the Academy T6G Texan kit and I built it in the same livery as our 1954 Harvard IV, CF-VIJ, RCAF s/n 20382.

phantom Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 A Skunkworks HH-60H. I had the same fit issues with the front windshield as the last time I built this kit. The Skunkworks stuff adds a lot of detail to the base kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
