Scout and new photography setup
I’ve been waiting for my Jon Hodgson Backdrops books from their recent Kickstarter run in collaboration with Bad Squiddo. I wanted to pair the backdrops with some simple groundscapes and found these Model Scene pre-flocked mats. I think they are for scale modellers to display their models but they are a decent size being the same length as the backdrop book and deep enough for some perspective in the photos.
They arrived this week and I needed to think of how to change my photography setup as they won’t fit inside my very small Green Stuff World lightbox. Inspiration struck as I looked at my spray booth and though – that looks a bit like a big light box. And so the new setup is born. Adjustable daylight strip light which I can angel to get decent light from in front and sufficient ambient light being diffused in through the box sides as there is a window behind.
And so to the first model. A quick test paint of an old Ground Zero Games scout model with serious Zulu vibes. Not sure if I can use him in any of the list builds but he has been kicking around for a while and my theme for this project is to help make sense of my very diverse range of random seeming Sci-Fi models so here he is in the new backdrop enhanced setting.
