    Photo/diorama runway base?

    No idea where to post this so its going in here, if anyone of the team knows anywhere more appropriate please feel free to move it.

    Been meaning to make a small runway base for taking pics of completed aircraft and finally got round to it tonight, its just some 12mm mdf which i drew then scribed concrete sections in then primed and sprayed two different shades of grey then post shaded with a darker grey yet again. In the piccs the post shading looks really dark so i may lightne it tomorrow. im going to print off a background too that will fit inside my photo studio and hopefully make my photos a bit more interesting.

    I should have taken pics as i made this but it not rocket science and only took me a couple of hours to make and most of this time was waiting for the paint to dry.

    That's just the sort of thing I want to do - thanks for the post! Where do you get mdf from (I'm a DIY duffer!)

      Looks good Paul!

      MDF can be gotten from Builders merchant, DIY shops and the like. I often get pallet size sheets from work which is good 'cause they are free!!!

        Ok did a bit more today weathered the surface with some pigments and dulled the surface in places and also added some oil leaks. I think it looks a bit better.
