I finally finished my AFV Club M35A2 after 7 years sitting on my bench just needing paint! I Scratchbuilt an S280 shelter for the back and attached a cargo trailer with cargo including a scratched-up welding torch set. Camo nets are 4x4 gauze soaked in white glue and Oregano sprinkled on one of them. They were placed on the vehicle wet and tied down then painted later. Shelter is tied down with lifting eyes, cables, and scratched-up turnbuckles. Tarp on the trailer is tissue soaked in white glue and applied wet then painted when dry. The kit was basically OOB.
Pics were taken with a Canon S1IS 3.2 megapix digital camera set on manual and ASA of 200. Backdrop is light blue poster board lit with color balanced flourescent tubes overhead. Camera was set for color compensation for the lights, and using no flash. This was all done on my modelling bench. The recent article in FSM got me going on this. I think I still need to get some of those fill lights, though. Some of the pics were a little dark and took some small manipulation in photo editing software.
