Cheers VP. The bike is a Tamiya kit I put together.

@Optics: That's a cool pic! You have to describe how you got that shot

The only way it could have been cooler is if you put him in the fire and managed to get him to melt a bit - more ultra realistic then.

thank VP hahaha, i was trying to control the fire when doin this shot it actually almost most burnt him...@gamblor - this is a very difficult shot to capture for this one as i had to use this mineral liquid as the fire starter on a glass table so fire stays longer. slower shutter speed gives the effect... very difficult not the shot i wanted but pretty suprise with the out come, might try again tonight. Having the fire as the only way of light for the figure to come out this is probably the biggest challenge for me.


note: just to point out no whatsover this image was rendered nor PS was used all natural

Well, you know what they say about playing with fire....

Nonetheless, it's a 'hot' pic.

+1

Been too busy working on a MG Gundam lately to take any pics, but here are a few taken a few days ago:

NECA SFIV Ryu, Akuma & Ken


HG 1/144 Wing Gundam Zero Custom


HG 1/144 Gundam Astray Red Frame




These will be the last pics of HG 1/144 Gundams... watch this space for upcoming pics of MG 1/100 Gundams (when I finally finish building them ).

I know... those shots were rushed.

Didn't bother to wipe down the figures or the area prior to taking the pics - they were kinda done in between drink breaks whilst building my master grade Gundam.

Lol! Dust, the enemy of toy collectors everywhere.

I remember taking some shots of my Galaxy force Vector Prime and after I ahd finished, I realised I hadn't cleaned him down well enough, lots of dust on his shoulders....

Set up a nice and cheap lightbox this morning!

Love the Lo-tech

I tried Raiden again this morning using less light and did a couple of test shots. Well tried a couple. The batteries on my camera ran out just when I thought I was onto something...
