It took awhile but I finally figured out how to post pictures and thought I’d share some of my work since I began building again (after 20 some-odd years). Any criticism is welcome. Pete
Looking good, Pete. did you happen to use fotopic? That’s what I use. I find that they only allow you to put the thumbnails here, so I usually include a link to the gallery so others can expand the pics and get all the nuances. Is that the Academy Stuart? I have that kit calling to me
Jason, these are all Hasegawa 1/72 kits. I started out with them for 2 reasons: 1. cost factor (you can get these for about $5) since I wanted to be sure I’d have the time and interest in getting back in for real - I do and I have. And 2. I thought that since I didn’t have an AB (see #1 above), that the smaller kits would look better brush painted, considering the smaller surface areas.
I am using fotopic. I didn’t realize that they only let you post thumbnails. I thought that maybe I was supposed to enlarge the photos before uploading to fotopic, but I guess not. Including the link is the way to go then. Here it is: http://petermarmann.fotopic.net/
fotopic is nice, but it does drive you nuts with picture size. Although building a Stuart in Braille scale would drive me nuts, too! My hands are too big for that
It wasn’t as bad as you’d think. My aging eyes were the bigger problem.
As far as fotopic goes, I guess you can’t complain if you’re getting the service for free.
