[BasicModelling]

@psychedelic14 Most hobby shops store grass flock, and so do the Games Workshops.. or any shop that store model railway stuff.. :)

I'm going to use this method now, to photograph my D.H.2 which I finished an hour ago :) :) I think I'll credit you at the end for making this brilliant video :)

@BasicModelling Gladiators are fun to build i have to admit, to be honest all Bi-Planes are really :D

@psychedelic14 Sorry for a let reply.. I missed your comment! I guess you can use some thin cardboard or board.. you can also buy already printed runways, but they tend to be quite small, i.e A4 size for 1/72 scale models, and so doesn't work well with this type of photography..

[BasicModelling]

@llanelliscarlets1 That totally dpends on the tank and what camo it has.. You need a desert picture for a desert tank, et.c.. :) But overall I'd try and get a picture of either fields or a forest.. But I can't really tell without knowing what type of tank you want to photograph.. :)

[llanelliscarlets1]

I make model tanks and other military vehicles what would I use for the picture?

[psychedelic14]

sir how can i make a cemented looking runway base floor board?
