Title: New Photo Stage
Post by: Fitz on July 21, 2021, 12:54:04 PM
From time to time I have an urge to photograph my models on a more naturalistic background than a plain white, grey or black background. So I threw this little photo stage together.

It's on a 180mm circle of heavy card that I had lying around that I had cut for some other, now long forgotten, project. I painted it with blotchy mud-brown acrylics, and then went to town with various grades and colours of foam flock, and a few tufts and patches of static grass. There's some actual dead leaves on there too, fairly thoroughly pulverized in a small blender I keep in my workshop for that sort of thing.

The 28mm Sergeant Measureby is there, as usual, for scale.

Interesting idea, and very well executed.

Very nice - nice ground texture too. And the sergeant with his 'measuring staff' is so cool!

Lovely work. I have a similar round display board for exactly the same thing, made from a spare bit of mdf.
