My other hobby

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Tamiya?

Nice tank.

I used to find brushing the model with dirty turps would give the model a muddy look.
Regards, Patrick

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

I've been out of the 'game' for many years, so I thought I would throw "Tamiya" out there to try to pass myself off as knowledgable - it seldom works :lol:

I did have, a couple of years back, a Tamiya 1/16th Tiger tank that was radio controlled. A lot of fun :)

I'd be tempted to take that one back Chris, it's got a few dents and holes in it. :)

Still, it looks quite nice. Taken from the angle the Russians would have seen at that time. Although the Germans certainly know how to build eye appealing tanks and still do.

What about having the rifleman [or even the tank turret] pointing straight down the barrel of the camera? Might look cool! ;)

before the image loaded up, I thought it was going to be a picture of the real thing.

My Dad drives a 1949 Willy's army Jeep (civilian model - no machine gun mount - sold to farmers etc towards the end of the war), and a guy who lives around the corner from him drives an old armoured troop carrier.

The neighbour even parks it under a tree and puts camouflage netting over it.


In another, slightly more related story, I know a guy who during the war was part of an experimental tank division. His job was to sit in the machine gunners seat with a flame thrower and burn people. He's got some serious mental/emotional problems now, he's never been the same since.
