Hi Woodsy
Lat Christmas you ran a piece that mentioned covering school books in paper or self-adhesive vinyl.
Well I picked up a couple of rolls of such self-adhesive book covering. One of the rolls was of a swirling star field, which I rather liked the look of.
I applied some to a sheet of foamboard (also called foam-core) which is a sheet of thin - usually 5 mm - foam covered on both sides with paper.
This gave me a nice, rigid sheet, ideal for use in photography.
I did have a little trouble applying this, due to its size, but I got there in the end.
Took a few test shots, and I was very pleased with the results.
These photos show the Matchbox X-33, a Lockheed-Martin design for an unmanned spacecraft. The model dates from 2000, but did not stay in the range for long.
The backgrounds consist of either one or two pieces of foamboard covered in self-adhesive book covering - nothing else.
Yours Sincerely,
Paul Adams from New Zealand
Stunning model shot!
