Heres a new picture board Im making for 1/24 and bigger although small items look ok on there too.

 










































As usual with me,this is another un-finished project but shouldn't take long.

I'll add bits carefully as not to scale it too much.

Cheers,Frame.

I've been trying out some backdrops too. These are mainly old paintings.

 






















Hope you like it so far.

Cheers,Frame.

Nice work and it is very effective. You make it look like a task not too hard to do. Thanks for showing the step by step, it helps.

Thanks for commenting. It is easy to do,taking low level pics help to get the overall picture and see where improvements can be made. Im starting on a four piece 'banger' (stock car) track today as its a friends birthday end of the year and he is a long time banger champion. I used to race with him over 20 years ago so it'll be modelled for that era. Look forward to that!

Cheers,Frame.

great idea Frame makes a nice photo diorama

I agree. It always looks better than the kitchen side or coffee table

Brilliant and simple but thats what makes it effective, never thought of using old paintings, will have me looking in all the junk shops now lol.


Love the attention to detail like the tarmac patches and the worn grass verge

Cheers SH. I like scenery and trying to get things looking good. Im having a go at making some cats eyes tonight but they will scale the road to one size so I'll put them on a smaller board.

Yep does look pretty neat , and what a great idea too Frame.

Looks great Frame, what a great idea using a painting. I guess I won't use my Van Gogh


So next thing I have to look at at carboots is paintings next to modelcars

If P&P was cheaper I could send you all loads of pictures. My dad transports donations for the RSPCA and there are lots of items they wont take so I put them on ebay or recycle them. Last year I was given a 2009 125cc off road bike with 300 miles on the clock,fetched almost £400 on ebay half of which I gave to them. I've also made several display cabinets frome old pic frames,all you do is build the casing to fit the frame and you have a cabinet with a nice looking glass door.
Cheers,Frame.
