    I have merged the topics. We could move this to the General Discussion if necessary.

    Enjoy! (or not hehe) Like I said before; you can have tons of fun with this set....if you take some time to mod it. I am still planning on doing a rebuild of the chassis to make it full RC without the need to switch the functions. Hopefully I can find the time to do that.

    True that!

    This sounds awfully harsh. Let's indeed give him a chance to respond. It's perfectly possible that he has seen the Falcon. Please provide us with some extra information, instead of simply stating you saw it. Please elaborate on how it's different than the previous version.

    No it's the 422068...the super secret Q4 40 Year Anniversary set Corrected
  6. Jim
    Not sure if it has been answered already, but this is how the utensils are provided in the 42068.

    Hehe
  8. Jim
    Oh yes, you are absolutely right. I was thinking of something else.

    What exactly do you mean? When you take a picture, the model should always be in focus, so I am not sure what you mean Can you fix the ISO to 100? Or isn't that possible at all? The last picture definitely is an improvement (the second one is sharper too) No spare battery?!
  10. Jim
    Can you show us what you mean. I'm probably missing something
  11. Jim
    Nice pic! Clear and sharp

    I like it. Although I do think that the rule of thirds doesn't apply when shooting "studio/product" pictures. You should probably try to enhance the pictures a bit, make it sharper. Which settings did you use on the cam? Use this: https://www.kunststofshop.nl/index.php?item=&action=page&group_id=10000018&lang=nl

    In a sense, the topic for the MOC is already meant for that purpose. You can also create a WIP (Work in Progress) topic to get feedback before finishing the MOC. A full review with automatically appear when a member likes to build your model and write a review. I am not sure whether requesting a review is really the way to go.

    I can do an additional round of pictures. I just need some time, so don't expect them tomorrow or so.
  15. Jim
    Yup, we noticed. 108 for the treads and some extra parts. Still around 2200 parts.

    Technically shooting a decent pictures can be learned quite easily. It's a matter of knowing the camera and the techniques. Composition is a different ball game. Most of the time that's the hard part. Of course, you can learn a thing or two about composition, but it also involves having (or getting) a feeling for it. If you want to shoot product pictures (like I do in my review) it's not a problem to center the subject. When you want to shoot artistic pictures, you need to avoid centering the subject. The rules of thirds is the most common rule for compositions. When you take a look at the following picture, you can see that the light house isn't in the center of the picture. The most important part of the picture should be on one of the four crossings of the horizontal and vertical lines. So when you shoot a picture like this, never center the vehicle. Since the vehicle is pointing to the right, you should make sure the vehicle is on the left vertical line. That will result in a more natural composition.

    Exactly!

    I see what you mean. The bonnet looks black enough to keep it this way
  22. Jim
    Nope and I still don't see it

    Hi. Please remove the images when you are quoting. Thanks!
  24. Jim
    I could indeed have highlighted the connector you mentioned The Porsche is at my work on my desk, so I didn't have the wheels when I shot the pictures. Otherwise I would also have tried to change the bodywork to orange. Let's say I didn't want to spoil the fun for you guys Interesting. I have seen the entire image without arrow, I have "seen" no image at all, but I have never seen a partial image. That doesn't make sense, using harder springs in the front. i'm pretty sure they are placed correctly I can shoot a picture with Technic figures. I was planning on doing that anyway, but I somehow forgot to do it.
  25. Jim
    He sure did. I have to take a look to be sure, but I don't think they are compressed. Maybe a bit, but not a lot. I would have noticed, since that really bothers me. The mechanism rotates/pivots from open to closed. Somewhere halfway the suspension is compressed but at the ends (open and closed) it's not (or not soo much). Interesting question, I will take a look and let you know.
