Put it in front of a white sheet or black background with preferably single source lighting (to imitate a star). Take your pictures and then import them into Photoshop or another photo editor. Remove the background and replace with a starry background or planet/star background.

All you have to do is to photograph the model in the same positions as if you were filming it. Angles from below are most effective because they stress the size of that thing:

Don't worry about the background, it can all be edited out. You may lay the model on its side to get a good perspective. (ILM filmed the Enterprise-D upside down because they feared the saucer would break off the neck if it was filmed in the correct position.) I have much experience with picture editing and could help you with the backgrounds.

If you can send me some pictures of your SULACO with a plain background (white, green, red, for example... blue wouldn't be good, because there is too much blue in the model) I can make you some nice photo compositions.

Send me a PM, and I'll give you my email adress.



well but later

Congratulations for the prize. Well deserved.

I noticed a nice piece of Betty on your table :) Is that some kind of available model?
I wish I had one of that.

Cheers,
Marcelo

Congratulations on your well deserved prize!!!!!:thumb:

I hope the prize was for 'Best of Show'. :goldcup: It bloody well should be.....!:mrgreen:

Are you going to make a stand for it?
Marco did a fantastic job on his stand.... You can scale his design to fit....... (Sorry if I missed this subject earlier in the thread..:eek:ops:)

Once again: Congratulations on a fantastic build. Your perserverance, dedication, un-faltering build quality, superior workmanship, endurance, patience and total attention to detail, makes you the MASTER, and THE ULTIMATE TEACHER of all things Papercraft!

My greatest respect to you, Sir! :inw:

Congratulations with the cup.

It's well deserved and a humble token of what you accomplished.

So many hours of effort and craftmanship created a model that presents the ultimate example of papercraft in my humble opinion.

There are so many fantastic builders here but your work and this particular model just gets to me somehow....

Cheers,
Elko

Congratulations! I would have been surprised if you DIDN'T win a prize with this awesome buildup.

Marco did a fantastic job on his stand.... You can scale his design to fit.......

Indeed, simply scale it up the same percentage you scaled up the paper parts. At the moment Jan has only the first part of the laser cut stands available for download on the SULACO website, but I sent him the ones for the aft part of the ship a while ago, too. I don't know when he will have time to upload it - so if you want to get the files simply contact me, and I will send them via e-mail.

In case you don't know hoe they look here is a picture of my partial build SULACO from last september, resting on the complete set of acrylic bases:

I plan to use a large mirror as a groundplate in the future, so that you can easily see the underside of the model, too.
