Welcome to Fine Scale Realistic

Recently I have gone back to my old hobby of making models. I am subscriber of Fine Scale Modeler Magazine and have been learning the techniques of making realistic looking models.

My interest currently is in cold war jets. As such I've built a MIG 15, MIG 17, MIG 21 and Republic Thunderjet to date. After building these models I naturally wanted to take photos of them to show to my friends.

I currently live in Thailand in quite a tall apartment building. When taking my photos my girl friend Sunisa suggested I take a photo with the skyline as the backdrop. One thing led to another and I started looking for ways to make my models look like they are actually flying.

This site is dedicated to shots of models made to look real. If you have a shot like this and would like to share it with other please email me and I'll set you up so you can post your work too.

PS I have never seen any shots like this in Fine Scale Modeler Magazine - but it does seem an obvious thing to do. If you know a site that already exists with shots like this including techniques to make things look more realist please drop me a message.

After cheer up and watching you making all of these models for few weeks ago, I really agreed with this kind of webpage.

I like all night shots. Nice !!

Anyway, I still not sure whether I could get my fishing line back for my beads set or not.
