All done..........at last, I think it came out OK, other opinions are available of course.

Anyone got any ideas on what would be the best way of making a good background for taking pictures, colour, lighting etc as my pictures do not show up as good as I would like.

I'd suggest some photos out side in daylight, preferably in the sun with a back ground of trees, something like Spanner would do .
The Committee would like to award you
.
Congratulations Andy .

Most excellent result! I really like how it turned out.

Nice one Andy.

A good plain back ground is a large sheet of heavy non-reflective paper or card, poster size. (A1?, A0?) Buy serveral, white, a mid grey and a black/dark grey.

That's a great result Andy. These big American trucks do make impressive models.

Definitely the "Dogs" Andy......will you be adding a trailer at some point?

Andy, very nice mate. Don't know how big it is but I think one of the guys on here finds a picture on the laptop then uses that as a back drop.

Tricky finding a trailer as it's 1/32, all the trailer kits I have seen are 1/24 or 1/25.

Best weather day for outdoor photography would be a light overcast. Still more light than you get indoors, but the shadows will be less harsh…..
Failing that, a neutral back cloth of similar material, a pop up Photo Booth, and a couple of good daylight bulbs should sort you out.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Excellent result on the kit, by the way. Every inch the stylish big rig!

A beautiful beast of a motor.
Very well done on a great job Andy.

Natural light is by far the best.

Keep your background simple. The one you've used is ideal, Just avoid white because as you can see, it will reflect on any paintwork, particularly gloss.

Many thanks to you all for the positive comments and the tips on photography.
