discussion Photo/diorama runway base?

[Guest]

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.
