it's a little hard to imagine the glider as a full size plane when someone's holding it. let alone the fact it's a glider.

You might want to post your pictures here:

Even though it says "no warbirds", don't believe it. If it has a special color scheme or something else special (like from the Reno air races) Sebo will accept it................Sebo

He ain't fussy and the plane can be in your hand or balancing on your head or in a bathtub or pool.

P-38J in the sky over Europe in June of 1944.................or is it.

My how you sophisticated Californian types view our quaint English ways. Still thinking us poor surfs still have to doff our cloth caps to the gentry when they pass.

The photos are very great.
Where could I download them? More pictures?

Are those scale clouds? I think the clouds in 1944 were fluffier. 

abufletcher

Yeah, and an Average Joe would never have gotten that perspective on the aircraft with his point 'n shoot. What I want to see is the bottom of teeny tiny aircraft way up high in the air, 'cause that's what most photos taken at airshows look like. And I'd prefer for those photographs to be 1/6 the size of a full scale photograph. After all, this is the Best Scale Photo thread.

If you think this shot was not possible in 1944, you haven't looked at as many authentic photos as I have.

I was only trying to get the thread back on topic.

Jess, after pictures of a guy winging sail planes off a cliff, I thought you would be thrilled at my picture. EXCUUUUUSE ME!!!!!!!! (dripping with sarcasm)

I'll leave you to your toy doll sitting on a toy wing shots. Unsubscribed.[]

I cleaned it up a bit for ya.

That's cheating! But, it looks good.

abufletcher

Photography is ultimately all about cheating. Creative cheating. We "cheat" when we shoot from one angle and not another. We "cheat" when we take the photo at one moment of time and not another. We "cheat" when we choose to show one photo and not another. We "cheat" when we transform the colors and tonalities of the original scene into the color palette of the film or digital sensor.

Photography, like scale modeling, is all about the illusion of reality.

Hey thanks! I'll bring the model over for the same treatment!

tom czenthe

Good camera, amateur photographer, not the best lighting conditions, neat plane.

Tango Juliet

That's an interesting model. He better check his flying wires though. The left side looks awfully loose!

tom czenthe

clevis failure on the flying wires..........cosmetic issue, corrected.........was hoping nobody will notice..

NeilHutch

Hi Tom,

Try this picture - I did my best to clean it up. Great looking, unusual model.


TTFN,
Neil

My small 1/6 scale SE-5a during her first flight.

rcphotog

Hi Teus,
Very nice model and well done photography. It looks much bigger than 1/6 scale. I think it could pass for a full size plane if only two very small adjustments were made.
Give the model some kind of 'wash'/'bath' in dirty clear-coat to give it a patina of age. Maybe add a little wheel grease around the hubs

The only other small detail that says "model" to me is the fir collar on the flight jacket. Maybe trim it back a little. Otherwise a beautiful plane. I wish I could build like that.

Well done!
Ken.

This one is just for fun. I can't build so I just admire from affar with my camera and a little help from photo-shop
Model by Austin Goodwin and expertly flown to second place in the "ADVANCED" class at the Scale Masters regional Qualifer in Hemet, Ca. April 11, 2010
Good job Austin!
Ken.
