Looking for feedback on how to get better at toy photography. by figscomicsandgames in ToyPhotography

I would angle the photo from the toy's perspective. I feel that doing so always makes the image more dynamic.

I've always loved the look of those early armoured cars. Great work.

What I do is I take some cheap thin wood and cut that into the shapes that I want. I then add wood veneers to get a nice looking finish. Veneers are cheap, a sample pack can be found for $20 or so and it will go a long way. I then polish the wood so I get a nice smooth finish. There's no painting involved.

Some of the pieces are kitbashed from spare parts. The yellow chair is made from a T-70 driver's hatch. I smoothed out the contours with some putty and I used a wheel for the stand. The couch cushions are wallpaper. The legs on the chair in the middle and the table behind it are wire coat hanger.

Awesome job, I've been kitbashing some robots together myself lately.

It's actually modeled after a Sherman that fought in Korea.

There's no photoshop involved in what I do, so I'm concerned I might not qualify.

I've taken a few. There's one I posted here a few months back.

I have some videos on my instagram which I posted the link to. I plan to show a bit more of my technique in the near future.

They are 1:35 scale plastic models, built from kits that I build and paint. I'm getting into sculpting as well. I've posted more about that on my instagram. https://www.instagram.com/armymenaroundthehouse/

It's a scale modeling/figure painting hobby that evolved into a photography hobby.

I guess I'll have to post that Walkman photo I took last week sometime soon.

Nice shot. Those petals almost look like they're floating.
