42093 - Corvette ZR1 recolour to Black and White

[ScT]

I like the Corvette ZR1 model - and have swapped the original's roof and hood to create a stripe, but that wasn't enough - i wanted to build one in white too...

So after gathering the pieces in Bricklink, that's what i did!

Original(ish):

And the stud.io file that i used to recolour, then order parts & build it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17kgtc0MoU9McR8MGgAfzAl5-cfu2WYvT/view?usp=sharing

I think the white one looks great. Perhaps blue/azure would work too?

I think an all white version would look best, but this is already way better that the orange. Imo the car is still far from being pretty tho, sorry.

I do agree the front could have been a bit better, but I think TLG has done a very good job considering the number of pieces and the price.

Yeah, i think the B&W version is much nicer, and a blue one would look amazing i bet. Currently i don't have much blue/azure stuff though, so that would be a pricey endevaour :)

When building the model, about halfway through you add the doors - and they're on a really cool mechanism that makes them lift vertically. Unfortunately, the rear part of the model then attaches to the door mechanism and they no longer move. It's really a shame (Though the real car doesn't have gull-wing or similar doors, so... yeah).

Looks cool in B/W - but your images are underexposed so hard to see the details in the dark and shadow areas - try rephotographing with longer exposure.

Not sure how - i'm just using an IPhone 11. Any tips?

[JGW3000]

Sorry, I don't know iPhone products. Try setting the camera to manual mode and adjust the exposure compensation. Or, use more and brighter lights when taking the images.

I think, key would be - more light.

Use built in flash. OK, also not the best thing, but will be better.

Thanks, i guess lighting will be key in future :) I shot this at night with just the rooms bulb, which looks okay to the human eye, but yeah... :D
