Totally amateur phone camera pics thread.

While in Nashville we also stopped by the Frist Art Museum and saw the car exhibit that happened to be in town.

I'm still amazed at what nice model shots I can get with my iphone 5, I used to use a digital SLR for this kind of thing (it's now unused in a desk drawer). I'm a complete model train dork.......

Here's a model that I weathered, the prototype was built in the '60s and by the mid '70s had become quite dirty, cars of this type are insulated like a thermos bottle and "sweat" thus attracting dirt.

Here's a couple other, these are scratch built from styrene using plans.

Thank you!
The models themselves are airbrushed with an Iwata HP-C, they're weathered with a variety of mediums, chalks, colored pencils, artist acrylics, oils and thinned out paint shot with the airbrush.

I built many models as a child and have 4-5 not-started and 1 that is a 3rd done
I have a badger air gun/comp but have never used it as I don't really have a space or paintbox
it was all I could do to make models looks new, weathering is an entirely different art form.
Really nice. Any non-train model pix?

I just do HO scale trains for my modeling - all mid '70s stuff, it's fun to research there are some great websites that are really helpful.
