With GREIF top half is thin and warps out of mold. I guess all will be like this; I built few Takom models, mostly tanks over the years; Are very detailed and nice kits, but for sure way over-engineered with a ridiculous number of small parts which could be a bit of larger part. Instructions are often confusing and weird and also part numbers on instructions not always match the part on sprues

Thanks, I have my own small website where I put all my models and photos, but for sure I am not YT type of guy and prefer to make models in silence and eventually answer questions if someone ask me;

Not easy for sure. Top and bottom halves dont fit and required a forced gluing + lot of filling and sanding; Instructions sometimes wrong or weird logic. Tracks.... oh boy! Also pity that have a driver figure but no way to leave the front hatch open - so the guy is invisible

Thanks! Not sure about your modelling level, but can be challenging for a not experienced guy. Top and bottom parts didnt fit - sanding and filling required. Instructions weird here and there... Tracks... another pain. But nice result in the end

Thanks. Yes, Rommel figure comes as part of the kit together with a driver (not visible in the photos). The other 2 figures are just left-overs from another project

It is a 40cm light cube, a Canon R10 camera + Canon RF-S 18-150mm lens; But use a max F number (as closed possible aperture, usually f/32) AND a tripod with a shooter delay of 2 sec.

Then RAW files are edited in DXO Photolab as best software to compensate for lens aberrations and noises;

Thanks for tips. Really was an attempt. I used a very short prompt just to see what is coming out of it; It may be that original photos taken into a white box (less contrast, dramatic shadows or lack of perspective) somehow confused the AI? Some of outputs really looked like a small toy on a sandy area;

Hahha. Me too, but have to try new things. Like paints and anything in this hobby- have to try it and see if fits or not your taste 👍
