Here is my submission for the MPC box art photo. It was a giant pain in the ass getting the lighting right. I can pick out 2 light sources. The depth of field and focal length was impossible due to the scale difference. Living the dream!

That's gorgeous, K. 40 years in the making. Soak it in. :cheers
I use the same Panavise stands for my studio scale models that are much heavier. I'm not worried about it with the weight of this model.

Thanks!
Well done!Another one of my favorite publicity shots recreated...

Mike, there is software that works with digital cameras that have auto focus that allows for multiple images to be taken with varying focal length (depth of focus) which then merges them into one beautiful fully in focus image. I've seen it in use but don't have it so can't make any specific recommendations. Duckduckgo time!Here is my submission for the MPC box art photo.

Thanks Jaitea! That's a great compliment considering you are usually the one pointing out new things I've never noticed before. I've enjoyed every minute of studying the 5ft model and pouring over all the reference.Breathtaking....your attention to detail is unbelievable
Such a fantastic paint job

Here you go!

Thanks blakeh1. The old schooler in me never considered a post production process. I will give it a try.Outstanding! If I didn't know any better I might mistake those as actual reference photos for the 5 footer Falcon
Look up "image stacking" for the software. There are several freeware or shareware programs
