Great work Darío. thumb6

The figures and groundwork are very nice and give an idea of the size and length of the vehicle. thumb6

The photos look good to me. The white to grey almost looks like it has been applied in Photoshop as a graduated background. The creases are more distracting. Most cameras have difficulty with large white areas as they always try to achieve 18% grey.

You may find adding exposure compensation on your camera will help as it will tell it to overexpose slightly by the set amount.

Tim

Edit: If you play around with the levels and contrast in a photo editing program you can remove most of the grey and make the background whiter. If you like I can adjust them for you.

Very nice. Love it. My only critique would be the tracks. Tha top run on them looks odd. Other than that, fantastic.

Thanks guys!
Tim, I modified the level of the original pictures with Photoshop (you know...Ctrl+L, then choose the little dropper or moving the grey level) That's all I know to do with PS :oops: . Can you showme another different trick?

Roy...that is because Maultier tracks ...are odd!! :D

No, seriously, I try to imitate the shape of some pics, like these (but maybe I fail):

Thanks to both for looking and comment.

Some quick edits. I used the magic wand tool to select the background and fine tuned the selection with the lasso tool in Paint Shop Pro. I then increased the brightness and contrast to get a whiter background.

You can use an overall brightness or contrast and levels if the background is a little grey. I just adjust the sliders or dropper until it looks right.

Darius

I am very impressed ! You are very creative and talented! thumb1

A question for you: How well did Mercedes kit go together? Did you have to do any repairs or correct any errors in the design?

Perhaps one day I will build this truck. It will be the only way I will ever be able to own a Mercedes! :D

cheers,

Derek
