AutoArt Jaguar E-type Series 1
 

Bought the AutoArt Jaguar E-type Series 1 today at Wine Country Motorsports.

This is easily the most impressive and realistic-looking model I've bought to date, with even more detail than the Porsche 908 or Jaguar XKSS 1:18 scale models. The paint finish is amazing.

Still developing concepts for this photographing this model regarding lighting and lighting positional setup, angles, viewpoints, etc., but here a first few meager attempts.

Check out those wire wheels...ooh la la. The suspension also works! :thumbsup:

I applied a Fujifilm Astia Replichrome Lightroom preset in this shot to give the car a warmer, more film-like look.

Even the seats are upholstered in leather! :eek: The doors latch magnetically!

Amazing model and photography!

Thanks, Pider. Playing around with different shooting concepts.

Starting to think white might work best as a background. The model looks very realistic with this lighting setup.
