New color accurate photos of my Turn A head diorama!



Although I think I have enough photoshop skills to correct the colors of the old photos, I decided to take new photos today instead. The old photos were shot outdoors under extreme and harsh 12 noon lighting producing some harsh over saturated colors. Thus I took the new photos under the shade of the sun at around 3 pm today to have more color accurate images.

The colors are ultra accurate from what you will see if you get to see this diorama in person. The blues are less vibrant and the pastel work looks like it blended better in the new photos.  Anyways I have deleted the old images and replaced them with the new ones. The photo below shows how harsh the colors of the old images are. 

Now here is the link to my gallery again - 1/35 Turn A head diorama


Thanks for dropping by! Til' next update! :)

this is really really awesome man! i don't know how or where u found Turn A 1/35 its freakin EPIC!!!!! check out my Arios Type G...and tell me whaddya think? still training in Spray Painting so i can get to the level on Airbrushing ^______^

Tristan Bernardo said...

Very well done sir! It really looks like a wreckage of a Turn A. I'm already saving up money for an airbrush and I'm gonna be using your painting tutorials to learn airbrushing.

DC23 said...

Thanks! I got the Turn A at a toycon convention. I think it is not really a 1/35. Do you have your Arios in the forums?

DC23 said...

I am actually not good with painting, still learning a lot from tutorials myself. :)

Tristan Bernardo said...

Yeah you're learning from your own tutorials :) I'm seriously taking notes. My current level of painting can be mistaken for battle damaged or weathered :(

DC23 said...

hahaha, no man, learning from better painters like Matt Mrozek and the like. hehehe... battle damage it then. :)

I'm taking the safe route in the meantime by just spraying my gunplas in flat clear. I do a decent job though at handpainting the pilot figures that come with the MG kits. I also wanted to ask if urethane paint is safe for gunpla since I can get them cheap here in my area when I start using an airbrush.

BOBING said...

could you do some tutorial on panel washing? having trouble on painting very small panel lines lately as conventional pens, as they are really time consuming, and also i am a very lazy bum :)

Kamm said...

Much better sir Don!.... much better.

Love this mate, its a great testament to your dioramas and weathering skills. HAZAAAH!

DC23 said...

I do have one I think. You just run thinned enamel paint along the panel lines and clean up the excess ith cotton swabs dipped in thinner. :)

DC23 said...

Thanks bro! The old photos were simply too harsh and over saturated due to lighting. :(

EmonEm said...

Bro question, how did you paint your base dio, did you hand paint it or airbrush? was curious because you were able to paint those grass..

DC23 said...

I airbrushed the groundwork and hand painted the grass and rocks. Washes finished it up eventually as usual. :)

EmonEm said...

thanks bro..will try that technique for my next built...thanks!!

DC23 said...

Looking forward to your groundwork then! :)
