The Duke Finishes One More in June

Finally after finding some more time, I got one more model over the finish line. Not sure if it will be the last, but here is the latest.


Trumpeter 1/72 scale Russian SA-4 Ganef:











My apologies for the poor pics; I'm still trying to get used to my Iphone camera.


Thanks for looking in.

Mark that turned out great! Such a beastly looking SAM!

As far as the iPhone camera goes, once you master the learning curve, I bet you’ll be quite happy with it. The built in photo editing software is easy and wonderful.

Very interesting,a mean looking subject.

You sure turn some real beauties in this scale Mark. That’s not to mention the cool subjects you choose . Very well put together brutha!

Thank you Carlos! Yeah, it is a pain using the Iphone camera. I'm slowly learning, but I miss the sturdy and full feeling of holding my big camera!

Thank you Tony! It is an interesting (and mean looking!) subject; one I've always wanted as part of my collection ever since seeing it all those decades ago.

Thank you Silverado Joe! I appreciate that so much.

Here’s a bit of advice. Once your subject is where you want it on the screen, tap your finger on that. A box should appear around that area for focus, and also a vertical light scale to the right. Slide your finger up or down along that scale to adjust your exposure, then take your photo. Afterwards edit using your phone’s editing software. That’s what I do, based upon Bruce’s tutoring, and I think that helps immensely.

Speaking of Bruce.....I haven't seen him here in a while.

Bruce has a lot going on keeping him busy. We talk pretty regularly. He just hasn't had much time for hobby forums lately.

I hear ya. We all go through those periods alright. I may drop him a line to see how he is.

Carlos, thanks. I'll give that a try next time I want to shoot something completed.

I still miss my camera though..........
