These are not aircraft but were made to be used when taking pics of my finished aircraft models, what I am talking about is my new backdrops I recently finished.

These two backdrops were made from white foamboard and painted with Model Master enamel paints.

The first step in painting the backdrops was painting the base color for the blue sky, for this I used a rattle can of Testors paint. At the bottom of the pic you can see the can of spray paint and judge the size of this new backdrop.


After the blue paint was was dry I used my airbrush to paint the clouds.


Here I started painting the groundwork.


And the finished backdrop.


Below is the other backdrop I painted, this one is smaller and about 1/3 the size of the large one.


Here are a few test pics of the new backdrops in use with my photobase and some older models. First the large backdrop.





And the small backdrop...

Thanks Kenneth!

Now I have to build some new aircraft models to photograph so I can use the new backdrops again.
