New 1/43 studio garage - review and photos

G’day, mates.

Recently have completed a new studio for photographing the 1/43 collection. The idea was to make something compact so that there would be a service area for interesting photos and a studio part. Also the idea behind the was to make a rotating stand to create short videos to music. Therefore, I present to your attention this very location with a description.

Everything stands on a 5 cm foam platform. Further 5 mm pvc. Size 32 by 35 cm. Floor – film. Windows – transparent plastic. Roof – black pvc with square holes ~ 4*4 cm so that the light from the sun or from the LED panel (as in the photo below) is not so flat. However i still need to learn how to work with light.

All walls are removable and hold each other on small round magnets 1 mm thick.

From the gate of the 1/43 studio garage you get to the mini parking area and road fence. Made only for visual appearance, nothing more.

best shot of the series i guess

Decorative boxes, stands, lifts – all these were purchased. It’s cheaper and faster than doing it from scratch when you have zero material for it. Some 3d print decor was purchased from this lovely Ebay store, highly recommended.

And the most very special feature of the garage is Ryan Gosling “Drive” poster xD

And after all the rotating stand brought some difficulties which I worried about. But more on that in the next post.

PS: I apologize for the dust in the photo, it was not really visible to the eye. Should clean up better next time.
