I also added some baseboard along the bottom inside wall edge. It's just some 0.02" x 0.04" styrene strip. I left it white, and surprisingly it makes the interior pop.
The digital camera highlights the misaligned brickwork in the corner. In-person, when looking at it with my own two eyes, it doesn't look too bad, but zoomed in with a digital camera, it's horrible. The digital camera is a harsh mistress.
"The digital camera is a harsh mistress."
ReplyDeleteTrue indeed. Makes one long for the grainy film days when detail was obscured in the process of publishing model photos in paper magazines, no?
I don't know if I'd go back to film and those old cameras. When I shot those pictures of ELM's models, I realized that the old images, and their poor reproduction in the magazines of the time, helped to build the impression that he wasn't that good a modeller. Although I'm nostalgic for many things, film cameras aren't one of them. I need to get better at taking pictures so that they communicate what I want them to communicate; so they show what I see, and not get sidetracked by their ability to show all the things they see.
