i was looking for a pair of vandals. but it seems they are over season in singapore, had to settle for the adidas
i didnt' get the shimizu as well, just didn't dig it, but your dunks for the roy is really a compliment
Was at the mall trying to pick up a pair of Nike DUnks for work....but didn't managed to get one and ended up with a pair of adidas
While mucking with my models after i got home..i had an idea..
Im gonna add a little bit along the way untill the shoe fits up to a valk..
Now im thinking of getting another pair of sneakers in NORA's matching Colors and decal it up...since i have a extra decal sheet...
I think im bitten by the custom shoe bug
i believe that waw a "contest" valk prize from one of the magazines, can't remember which one though,
The mag sorta showcased all the previous macross toys, it also had an interview with shoji
frankly, i dont' see us moving forward..the last two pages are full of nothing but previously posted pics..
We gotta move on for this thread to take off man..if not i'll just be stuck here forever..
Panasonic "Daylight"
11W, 50/60Hz, 90m/A 220-250V
Again i'll like to stress..Light aren't that a big deal. u dont' need extremely bright light.
The key is positioning..which im still learing too.
This thread is exactly what myself and other members had gone through
you can try readling through this link, it will save u lots of unneccessary trouble too

40- 60Watts? daylight, think around that region
P.S don't be too caught up with the lights. i went through the process..ain't really too much to bother with
Point is u gotta play around with it, u'll have to constantly adjust the light's placement
understanding what u see from your eyes will never be what ur camera see is the first step to taking great shots
im using "tracing paper" for the diffusion, that was my previous set up.
This is my current set up
For me i think there's two types of toy photography,
1. The photoshop type - relies heavily on Photoshop post-production
Here's two examples

2. Secondly the more "photography based" one
The best example would be
www.tfkenkon.com. Remy's webby
Personally i prefer the "photograhy based" kind. but im mucking around right now with both set-up
im using a canon IXUS 5 megapixel cam
Here's my set up, and some shots. i only play with "curves" in photoshop

This is how i take my pics.
The background is a mounting board brought from art stores.
Those are inexpensive light from Ikea. daylight of course. not using warm lights
