Official Photoshoot Y-Wing Fighter 1/72 scale Bandai Model

[Scarecrow Joe]

Was lucky enough to been present for a flight test of this beat up Y-Wing after some quick repairs were made. These were taken at my recent vacation at the Yavin Rebel Base.

I tried to make these as real as possible trying even to get a movie, film like look on them. I think I got a decent enough result to show here. Hope you like!

Thanks man! To clarify, those images are not composites. The sky behind its real. Manipulation was done to get rid of the stand and to get the film like look. Also the engine output was digitally created with my friends from Adobe Photoshop.

Thanks for clarifying, I wasn't sure. Probably one of the reasons it looked so convincing as a real object int he sky compared to it composited onto a backdrop :lol

Still a great job removing the stand

BTW, this is how it looks, stand and all.

What software do you use to edit out the stand?

Good old Adobe Photoshop. RAW files were converted and partially manipulated with Adobe Lightroom.

 

[blakeh1]

I wish you could just buy the software from them outright instead of that ridiculous subscription only nonsense

Still trying to find a good alternative
