An ultra rare photograph of my Westfield in it's "MOT Specification" 😂 Thankfully, she passed with flying colours 👍

It's not lego, but it did take me a decent amount of time. This little fella leads my army of toy soldiers, and for scale stands on a 50mm diameter base. All hand/brush painted, including the freehanded letters and number on the shoulder pad and banner. It's the most detailed thing I've ever painted, and I reckon there's maybe 30 hours in the painting. I really need a better way of photographing my models. Do any of the modelling community on here have any tips?

It's a once a year decoration 😂

What’s that white thing hanging off your front nose cone?! 🤣

Fantastic turn out for the kent area March monthly meet. 10 cars joined us for the 70 mile blat and many more for breaky at the Stag pub. Great effort, happy Easter 🐣

Took my tractor for a lap of the village today. First time on the road since I bought it.

Thank you. The busy background is mainly because I hadn't intended to share the photos much, so they were mainly for my own reflections on the techniques and so on. I do now have a bendy arm work light, so I shall see what I can do.

I'm not a modeller but I know a little about photography. What you need to sort is a different background, something that doesn't distract from the model. Your current background is way too 'busy'. And then lighting is key. Try different types of light and experiment with how the light is shone upon the subject.

Instead of an easter egg.

Thanks Julie, great to get back to the Peaks as it seems ages! Met up with Lee early doors where we spent some time complaining about losing that precious hour in bed 😂

Easter Sunday in the Peak District could be risky with traffic jams and such like but not today, oh blimey, it was empty on the roads. 9 Westfield's met at a cold and cloudy Hulme End, 7 in a row here and the remaining 2 here Glynn was wearing some of our new club merchandise from 'logo that polo', here he is with his new wooly hat which perfectly matches the lovely colour of his Westfield After warming up inside the surprisingly empty cafe 9 Westfield's took off on our travels, heading straight for the Bentley Brook road, one of our favourites as it is sweeping bend after sweeping bend. After crossing the Via Gellia road, we were 7 Westfield's as 2 had to go home and it really got interesting, a mix of new tyres, dry roads, emptyness, ooo, Glen commented I was like a woman possesed, it was awesome. I would like to thank the great drivers behind me for being an excellent convoy, we didn't get split up once, making it much more enjoyable for me too. The roads were so quiet I took us through Bakewell, it was no problem, unbelievable what difference the sunshine makes i.e no sun, no tourists. After the excitement we landed at Quackers for lunch, where it was busy, so we sat outside. The cake flowed Andy's speedo was not working (officer!😁), it wasn't the fuse ???? Easter Bunnies have been replaced by Easter Frogs, which I can confirm are just as delicious Thanks for coming everyone, thanks for taking photo's on the move Becky and thanks for making a great day out all round. See you next time XXX

I agree, many are just too low. Don't forget, if you end up upside down in a ditch you will suddenly be taller than you think. Unless you lap strap is so tight your legs have gone numb and fallen off 😂

Lotus Drivers Club had what turned out to be their inaugural meet of the year at the village hotspot, and I rocked up in a pretend Lotus. 😂

You're correct it is 6cm taller than a standard RAC type bar, TBH i'd rather have it that way as it gives you better protection, i've seen several RAC type bars with added hoops above the drivers head!
