| Introduction | This Blog is an attempt to share some of the SF models I have completed over the last twenty years or so. I usually like to create my own designs in SF modelling, however I have been known to assemble a kit or two, either based on Gerry Anderson vehicles, 1950's movie monsters/spaceships or one of Ray Harryhausen's wonderful creatures. After completion of a model, the fun part begins - photographing it on a tabletop miniature set to make it appear as realistic as possible. Not being a computer whizz (I'm too old for that), I limit any enhancement of the shots to a minimum. To erase any supporting wires I utilise Paint Shop Pro 6, an old program that is just right for what I need. |
