Your suggestion regards the background is a valid one and you're right the light is coming from the wrong direction. The reason I left it was that if one knows the Dover cliffs it would be immediately obvious. To be honest these are only quick tests and there is much to improve on these in terms of both the photography and the set up. In future I want to light them for a particular shot and properly craft the resulting comp. With these I simply married the shots I had to some suitable skies and tweaked the result to look more 'whole'.I personally would flip the background so that the light is coming from the RHS of the picture which I think would better match the way the planes appear brighter on their RHS.
Steve: When did the new style voltage reg come in? Obviously it was standard by the MKII but was it ever fitted at the factory to a MKI?The early style regulator is very easy to scratch build.
Actually Laurie, I'm tinkering with a program now that will enable me to do just that!!!What next video in real flight.
I think you are taking us to a new level here Paul. Very clever indeed and ingenious. Your model looks brilliant in its self as well. I mean on our normal terms of earth like presentation.\ said:Actually Laurie, I'm tinkering with a program now that will enable me to do just that!!!
The prop blur is not a trick they are motorised. I even got the motors to match the real aircraft RPM.
I'm glad you like the effect
Cheers

My modelling skills have been developing over many years. There are many others out there who put my models in the shade but it gives me something to shoot for. If you want to improve your own skills I can only advise to keep building, keep practicing, look at other build logs and try to pick up the odd technique here and there, but most of all enjoy it.My only thought is how am I going to get there ?
Cheers Steve I'm really grateful. I vaguely remember from somewhere that the reg was moved to a location opposite the oxygen tanks? but I wouldn't quote that as gospel!I'm not sure when this was changed to the later type, initially mounted behind the pilots head, but later moved elsewhere (not sure where off the top of my head). I'm at home this afternoon so I'll have a look to see what I can find.
