I'm seeing it a lot on SPAM recently, no matter what PC/Browser I use there's always something I can't see. I don't think it's the forum, more to do with the other hosting sites we're having to use since PB corked it.

but, aaaaah! distater struck!! :scream:

i peeled off the masking only to find the front canopy had some bad fogging going on! nooooooo!
(the turret was fine tho...what gives?) :hmm:

so ill have to pop it off and see if a dip in future can clear that up, but if not, ill have to grab the optional canopy parts and repaint

I hate it when those setbacks happen. Seems like every build has at least one. But at the very end is frustrating.

I read that you use your phone to photograph. I do the same. I recently have been "experimenting" to get some better pictures with my phone so I thought I could give you some unsollicited advice.
My pics have gotten better by using better lightning: day light is great, if unavaible day light lamps or otherwise just make sure you have a lot of indirect light.
Secondly I use Snapseed, a simpel app to adjust contrast, white balance (important when you don't have daylight) and reframe pictures.
I think some better pics will to your builds more justice.

Fogging on the canopy? Are you using CA glue to attach the canopy?
