Dude! Those are amazing! What’s your photo process like? I need to start shooting my own models like that
Thank you! The process is pretty simple, really. Just setup the model with the appropriate "space lighting" for the scene, take a couple shots, and the rest is done in post. I use my wife's DSLR and lights. Figuring out the correct perspective for each ship (if there are multiple ships in a shot) can be a challenge sometimes, but this photo was pretty simple. Just had to line up the X-Wing to look like it was flying down the trench. I wanted to recreate the box art that's on the Bandai Death Star Attack set. It felt really kinetic and cool.
Here's a layer breakdown for that image:
As well as a few others if you're interested:
And this one shows a little bit more of the process:
Anyway. That's probably a bit more than you asked for. Just a personal project of mine that I've been doing for the last few years.
I post everything on Instagram as well, if you're into that.
Again, thanks for these awesome DS tiles!

EDIT: Actually, Google Photos just reminded me that I was doing this exactly a year ago today. Cool cool. Definitely not perfect, but good enough for what I needed it for.
