Man, you certainly can't argue with those results! It looks spectacular!

I vote for the white background though---the blue background tints the hue of the model's paint to much in photos. Most major modeling magazines now demand white backgrounds for exactly that reason.

Awesome work man ;D Looks good mate , I'd go for the white background for finished builds

Thanks Doog and CS!!

I agree, I like the white background better myself. But, my cheap cameras don’t like the white background so much. I seam to spend a lot of time in photoshop trying to clean up picks with the white backgrounds.

I’m always playing around with settings, backgrounds, and lighting trying to find something that works good.

This is my new cheap setup, Some heat lamps from the farmers supply store. A home made both made from cardboard boxes, poster board, and daylight bulbs.

My wife wasn’t real happy that I used bailing twine in her house used to hang the middle light. ;D
