Very cool Kev! I'm guessing here you are not shooting with a flash yes? Do you stop the lens right down as well?

No flash, Adam, but I don't even know what your second question means!

Here's my current shooting set up:

This set up works really well, but I really need to learn how to use the camera better, to gain more control over what I'm doing. I still think depth of field is something farmers use to work out when they can harvest their crops.

While I quite like the way it looks, it's far from a great build, and I won't be showing it in competition anywhere. I'm still getting this weird yellowing over the area where I used the CA/talc mix to blend in the windscreen part, and I figure that's only going to get worse in the coming weeks and months.

But rather than whinge about the build, I'd just like to thank you all for following along, and for all your great comments.

Thanks, Wal. I'm quite pleased to have this one off the workbench now.

I had a question about the size of the model over on LSP, so I thought I'd post a photo of the model posed against a 10ml jar of Gunze paint (H69 to be exact):
