Hey! Who stepped on a duck?
Holy mallards Batman! That's an impressive job my friend. Long build? If you do what I do and look in just once or twice... Seems like it only took a short time.

Sorry it took me long to post better final pictures of my duck. Friend couldn't come so I did my best to figure out how to use my $400 camera to take better pictures. I think I am getting there... Just one of pictures...  Instead of posting final pictures here, feel free to see more pictures in my gallery thread... Deafpanzer's 2014 GalleryOnce again THANK YOU for being part of my build as you all were awesome! |

Thanks Carlos! No kidding about my camera... took me more than two hours and numerous attempts using different settings. It looks like it was best to use the 'Fluorescent" for the lighting setting on the camera as it make the brownish & yellowish color go away. Had ISO set all the way to its lowest at 80 or 100 recommended by many friends.
Appreciate your nice words! My builds are almost as good as yours... LOL

I have to say this model looks better in person than the pictures show. It is really cool to see in person.

Thanks Bruce! It was frustrating experience for last two days trying to get good pictures because it is not what it looks like with my eyes. Looks like I need to buy one of those $1000 cameras that my friends have... LOL

LOL I have the same problem with white balance Andy . Sometimes I use incandescent setting even with fluorescent lights . It gives a warmer look . One thing I notice is the white background is going to make everything bright and cause glare . I take it you haven't tried editing the pictures with a program on your computer ? Its a really good tool my friend . Your figures are definitely better !!! Remember Serge ? I know you had nightmares about that figure I did for a while ! |

How can I ever forget Serge? He is right here on my bench and he has been helpful kicking my mojo going!
Friend told me about using a program to edit the pictures... that's something I need to look into. Always appreciate hearing from you Carlos!
