Wolf Buddee Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Absolutely gorgeous Rob! Photos #3 and #4 are my favourite. They show the beautiful lines of the car and your gorgeous finish to maximum advantage. That is some serious eye candy Rob! Cheers, Wolf 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try my best to improve my modelling and my photographic skills as well and can't tell you which is harder . I have to say, that the side view of the GT doesn't appeal to me, as I find the silhouette a bit boring a bit more top angled, reveals it's brutish elegance.

GazzaS Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 You've done a beautiful job on the model, Rob! Thank you for the outside pics! Some will disagree with me... but I think model photos in natural light are much better and creditable than those taken in electric light. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Rob, that's a fantastic paint job and build on the GT. I guess I can blame you for me digging this out. It's the same Mica Blue that you used on your GT. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obrigado Hubert, the orange applications are a bit prominent indeed, I could've gone for black or snowy white, which resembles what the designers were sniffing . 14 hours ago, mark31 said: you did a great job on the car i love it.

Thank you Gaz, is there such a thing as creditable photographing? I will try to get better outside shots with a less intense sunlight nearer to sunset. 5 hours ago, BlrwestSiR said: I guess I can blame you for me digging this out.

If so, it will look gorgeous with the golden wheels. 5 hours ago, harv said: Can only echo what's been said.

HubertB Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Gotta say that the good point of car modelling is that you can save A LOT of money on weathering products (assuming you have access to lacquers, isn’t it Rob ) !

The only issue is cars don’t fly (mostly) … There is some truth to it, on the other hand, I never used three different polishing compounds with the appropriate cloth, along some finishing wax on let's say a T-34 . The Ford thing can't fly, but it's faster than some things, which does. Cheers Rob 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to build one of the Blade Runner Spinner cars, but have to get hold on one I've seen the movie lately. It was not the same as in the eighties, when it came out, but entertaining nonetheless. I sometimes wish, I could see movies like that with my naive eyes of the eighties again. What an experience it was to see Blade Runner on premier weekend on 70mm film wide screened, without having read critiques in the internet before and been totally blasted. The same goes for Alien and Aliens with common sweating and fearing in a dark cinema. I was totally fascinated by the scene, where Decker magnified a photo wit his computer. That was the future 🚀.

BlrwestSiR Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Rob, Blade Runner is my absolute favourite movie. I wasn't old enough to see it in theatres when it first came out. A local TV station every New Year's Day showed is as the first thing after the count down was done so I'd watch it then. Sue surprised me a few years ago and got us tickets to see it in a theatre. That was great. Hopefully you can find a kit as it's probably the only one that will ever get issued. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 When Alien was released in France, it was advertised for two months before in all French stations ( I was working on night trains for a summer job). Needless to say I went to the premiere, on September 8th 1979, in the Grand Rex in Paris (with a 2 800 seats capacity and a 70 mm screen). I can still hear the screams of the audience at the end of the scene, filmed in subjective vision, when the guy leans over the egg that just opened, and the beast jumps at his face, and the screen becomes black. Yes, you can say I was impressed Hubert 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
