Diecast Scale Model Photography and Reviews







DIECAST PHOTOS & REVIEWS

When a new model is introduced, the manufacturers typically put out a brochure or website photo, but these marketing photos are usually small, and have a soft focus or have been retouched. As a result, they only give an impression of the model, not the kind of close-up detailed look we all want before deciding whether to part with our hard-earned money.
 
Well, I enjoy photography, and I love my models, so it just seemed to be a natural. I take my inspiration from others in the hobby (you know who you are), who have influenced my style and given me advice. I hope you will enjoy the results...
