WOOOOOOWW!! I am both amazed at the fine detail of your model plus the camera used to take the shots of the front of the loco. What sort of camera did you use to take the shot? Brilliant macro mode indeed!! _________________ Victorian T Gauge Blog

It is just a Canon S2, it does have a macro and a super macro mode. It will focus on something that is touching the lens. The instruction even warn not to scratch the lens doing it. But if I get that close things tend to fish eye, in most of these the lens is about 2" away. I always use a tripod with the timer and usually expose for around 15 seconds.
I'm far from a photo pro, the camera does most of the work for me. |

Thanks for the elaboration on that subject! I'm not planning to do a Budd RDC, but a Japanese DMU, as my main interest is Japanese modelling.
I'm going to try and design something in Photoshop or Illustrator when I have the time.
About etching myself, I think it's a bit too dangerous to have these chemicals in a student's house. Who knows what idiot's going to drink these acids when drunk or something... I'll think about it when I live in a safer place _________________ Tree Gauge? Three Gauge? Tea Gauge? Letīs just T this place up! |

Awesome. Simply awesone. I cannot wait until I have the time to take a crack at these. Makes me miserable that I have to work for a living... _________________ David
