Spanner's Tamiya 1/700 U.S.S. Enterprise (CV-6) (Karl's Pacific Carrier/Aircraft G.B.)

[spanner570]

Nice kit with good detail for a small scale ship.
I thought I would take this lot in B/W. (Except one)

Thanks to Karl for suggesting and running this G.B.

Cheers.
Ron


The sun peeped out.....






My favorite! In colour too..... The black cloud vanished just as quickly as it arrived - No rain!




















There you go. I really enjoyed this build.
Kept going by all the great comments from you marvelous folks.

Cheers.

Great pose for an excellent result.

 

[JayCee]

Excellent, Ron. Your usual exquisite finish and photography.

Thanks Paul and John.

To be honest, Mother nature provided the backdrop, I just took full advantage with my high tech. 'Point and Click' photography. I wouldn't know what most of the settings do on my camera, anyway.

Thanks again for your positive comments.

Cheers.
Ron

As always Ron, superb realism.

Another mini masterpiece Ron.

Just brilliant.

You may only "point & click" as you put it but the framing is superb as always, displaying the fine modelling to its best.

 

[spanner570]

Thanks to Jim, Andy and Andy T for your excellent comments. All most welcome and appreciated.

Andy T. Although I only point and click, I do take a short time considering and setting up the composition of the shot. This goes a little way to covering up my knowing virtually stuff all about camera settings.
However, when clouds are scurrying by, there is no time for such niceties and point and click is the order of the day - And hope for the best!

Thanks again for your ace comments boys.

Tremendous result Ron, truly brilliant photos

 

[spanner570]

Hi Joe,
Glad you like it....

Thanks for the compliment. Much appreciated.

Ron

 

[Ian M]

That is a great result Ron. The low level photos that are your trade mark certainly show things at their best.

 

[spanner570]

Thanks Ian.
I do like to take a bit of time trying to get the best shots I can for my stuff.....

Thanks again.
Ron

A ship, in a sea of aircraft. See what I did there ?
I know it's a great build, but to pictures it up to another !evel.
The mood, the atmosphere, it's all there. I've worked deep sea, where all around you can only see wzter. Knowing you are thousands of miles from land is very much a 'different ' feeling. One which your pictures capture brilliantly.
Did I mention the ship was really good as well.

Sorry missed this Ron.

That's turned out beautifully. Yet again another outstanding finish.

Thanks again chaps.
