No, but I'm open to learn. I'm more into 1/35th scale tanks. Really need to build a light box to get even lighting of my models.

Well by seeing what I have done, this should give you at lest a small hint as to take photos of plastic models. I have used my Topcon to take a lot of them, but as I was given a canon A620, I've been using it for the last 3 weeks. I have also been taking photo off my t.v. screen. for the most part I have used a flash with my topcon, but the conon has it's own built in flash.
I have been working on a model of the space cruiser yamato and after I get it painted. I'll be doing a lot of photos of it as it is #1 in the building area.

I have watched the Star Blazer video from Netflix too. And I have news for you, as that comes from Japan, I have found out that was a total of 5 or 6 anime movies made and there was a Live Action one made too last year. In the photo you see the 1/500 scale model I've been working on. I was sent a check off for a 1/35 scale of the same model. I first saw the anime movie back in '79 and I now have a glass disk that was made for the 10th anniversary of the movie. I got a very small model over in Hawaii and I'm building it.

those tanks look good, I've just have built anything like them. In all my years of building I have done just airplanes, and spaceships and such. Right now I have 3 cylon basestars two BSG's, a Warbird from STNG along with my eagle, along with a model that needs building of Moonbase Alpha. I have one model that I need to get all the paints for, it's one for Babylon 5.

William you're a hoot. You talk about reminding you of a better time and you show a picture of a tank. Great shot(two of them)

as everyone can see I have been building since about 1960, but most of the time there where airplanes. In the last 3 years I have moved to scpace / sci-fi models.
I have found that for most of the photos of models I take, my canon A620 work good as it has it's own flash and No film. befor it, I would use only my topcon super d and get the pics done at the super market. but with this canon it's. I'm still have to be carefull in taking the photos and it not simple working with plastic models.
