I thought someone may be interested in this Photie of my RAF Rescue launch on its jetty at the old New Brighton Lake a couple of years ago?
-
That's crackin'!
If it wasn't for the people in the background ......but I bet you'd thought that too.
-
Very nice indeed Martin,I was nearly fooled, {-) until I saw myself in the background, {-)

Superb shot and the quayside details bring it to life. Beautiful model as well.
-
There are so many things you can play around with this picture, it really is a superb shot
-
I got caught out - thought it was the 1:1 version. O0
What a superb build and an excellent sample of model photography :-))
I still think it looks real :-)) :-))

Garston1
that is an excellent bit of "rusting and dirtying" on your model :-))
can't wait to see what the "photoshop" boys do with it :-))

Great pix, Is that a Dean's Marine Thornycroft HSL?........... very impressive. :-)
-
No it's scratch :-))

Well done...........and a superb paint job, especially the air recognition bow chequers. :-)

Here's a couple of Kamloops taken a couple of years ago at the old new brighton lake

hi there Garison
Lovely model of the RAF rescue boat. Could you tell us what plans did you use to built it from. Was it Pritchards plans and how did you make the hull and gun turretts?
aye

Yup - Photoshop on Adobe CS4.
It's a stunning corvette model. As is the rescue launch. I think the only thing giving that photo away is the lens height of the photographer - if it had been "head-height" then the picture would have been (more) perfect. :-))

I do try to get down in the water, as can be seen by the lower flower class pic's. But i do manage to frequently dunk my Nikon D70 . But the old things built like a tank. It's been dropped, kicked and buried in mud on our shore and then put under the shower! But it still knocks out great photies :-))
-
Here's one of a recently acquired boat, taken today at New Brighton
-
Stunning, both the boats and the photos, (I felt bad about calling them boats as one at least should be called a ship)
-
When I looked at the first pic my eyes were so drawn to the boat I just did not notice the 1:1 humans in the back ground.
It was only when I read some of the posts I realised it was a model, not a pic posted for detail of the real thing.
Model making to aspire to.

Amazing photos, especially the corvette.
I am so impressed with the weathering, it looks absolutly convincing.
Well done Garston!!!
