HEY YOUNG-UN............ See if the "top of the camera" has a little "dial" that you can "twist around"........ If it does, there is a setting that has an emblem that "looks like a little flower", try turning it to THAT setting, and, I'll betcha that you have "better luck" with your pictures!!!!!!!!!!! TU> TU> DJ PS----Someone had to "show me that" a long time ago, Mark!!!!!!!!!

Markie Markie Markie, Mate what sort of camera are you using Bud, Right the first things first lets get some white paper or white sheet dont let the Ol' Lady catcha thou or all HECK will breack loose bud find the brightest light in the house ichanged the one in my model room for one of those flouro energy saving globes nice white light, all my pics you see are on 4 bits of A4 paper two as back drop & other two as the floor & play with camera Angle one good thing about new cameras take a heapa pics & wipe what ya dont like. Now as DJ was saying check your settings most cameras have some great settings for Modelers, mines a sony & as a Macro setting so thats on now turn the flash of & mine is set on Snow or beach setting depending on how i want the pic to look, So buddy have a play with the settings & dont shake leave thet for the Ol' Blokes around here to do. Next scratch building the frame ,chassis ,etc. have a look at clutch how he builds so check his posts, He use's a piece of cardboard marks a centre line builds off that give a very true & square build, & bud dont disapointed when things dont work out for thats how you learn in life & dont throw the stuff ups out just put them away one day you will find a use for it !!!! heres a couple of pics of a basic Mod frame which you might be able to use has reference. so back into it & where all expecting some kool pics later today Champ...
