Forgot to say that's Dragon kit with Ceasar figure in front of a wallpaper image.

Now that is and in my experience was an interesting kit to build and Dragon did a fine job with that rather complicated suspension. Having an interesting backdrop can always add to a models' pictures and I've tried it on and off in the past but we don't always have an appropriate scene.

I've reviewed this kit in the past and please forgive the shameless plug but those interested can find it at Neubau-Fahrzeug Nr. 3-5 review.

Just Google some free Wallpaper downloads. Display them on your computer screen and prop up your model to photograph:





Sometimes there is a color difference between the wallpaper image and foreground model. That's why I posted my above vehicle in B/W. Also good to use a tripod for long exposure/ greater depth of field.

A very good and simple little tip. I can very much see there being some colour issues between one's creation and an image. Using a tripod should always be a given and you might also consider importing/downloading a free image to a photo manipulation programme that might allow you to "fine tune" its colour.

...although giving it that WW2 black and white grainy effect tends to iron out most of the colour mismatch.

I like it, very dramatic.
Both NbFzs look great actually.

I think it's more likely due to the warmth of the light I was using to illuminate the foreground subject.
