Yep, and shows how easily it is to have perspective distortions when photographing. For instance, I used your math to arrive at the dish dimensions. From a distance the dish looks too small.... but when you get close to it? It's just right.
It did. I didn't wait long enough for the first primer coat to cure before adding the second color. The paints are Plasticote primers. Problem is... is that the temps were down in the 60's yesterday and we haven't turned on the heat in this old house yet.... so the paints were complaining about that, too.
Yep. It's ok and not noticeable to the naked eye from a distance of a foot or more. This little feller is only six inches in diameter and the surface block details will hide any sort of imperfections. I DID go back and knock it down. It was particularly bad over.... the dish and the front section. Ack!! So using a macro on a model this small with directional lighting... WILL reveal its flaws. Kurt will tell you my stuff does NOT look so unflattering in person.
The color coat is airbrushed... about 6 light coats... and that also helped smooth it out.
