MORINAGA ZERO X

The small but perfectly formed Morinaga Zero X which Woodsy tracked down for me. It is small, as can be seen in  this comparison showing the Zero X next to a two-pence coin.

 
But as most of you lot know I prefer to take a picture showing my toys or models  against a more fitting background. The  problem  with this little model is depth of focus which gives away it's tiny size.  I could just cheat and simply paste a photo onto another background, but frankly anyone can do that these days,  However, using a little Photoshop sparingly is always an acceptable option.


This is a close up photo of the little Morinaga Zero X, held in place with tweezers, and set against a brown out of focus background, which happens to be just a blanket.


And here's the final photo with the tweezers painted out and just a few stars added. I don't know what you folk think but it I reckon it works a treat.

  1. Nice, I like it. I too prefer to use Photoshop just to paint out supports etc.

  3. Beautiful shot Scoopster, So simple a technique its genius. The final pic looks great. I think I've seen one of these Morinaga OX's painted but I like them just the way they are. The decals underneath give a great finish.
