I am curios if it will be easier to try again when the Green M2 comes out as I already have a green 1M.

I also use a Portable 40cm Camera Studio Lighting Kit as well.




White models benefit from top lighting to create shadows in the details. I see that you use only two front facing lights, which will light the background as much as your subject. A 3rd top light will give you a bit more separation and create a more dramatic effect. I wouldn't use the lights in that configuration pictured either. I would move then to the side panels. and let them diffuse through. It will get rid of those bright shiny spots on the model. You can shine a 3rd top light through the top panel. I've posted this pic here before, but it shows what I'm talking about:

This is on a white paper background. I use daylight 5000k 100w bulbs. I think I used 3 lights here and exposed for the white car, which allowed the white background to be darker.

Are you looking for an Alpine White F20 5-door M140i?

If so I don't think that there is a model available

I think this is as close as you can get in white, a Paragon Mineral White F20 5-door

Search for BMW part number "80432210021" or "80 43 2 210 021"


1:18th scale BMW F20 1-Series 2012 onwards manufactured by PARAGON

I know one thing I would not have paid that much either unless it was a 1er and then I think I would have cried if I paid that much for a $1.00 Hot Wheels.

Thank for the help guys, I do point the two light through the sides but I was lazy and nicked the example photo from eBay just to show the photo booth.

I smoke a lot and I have stupidly left the booth out for months without putting it away so it is possible that the booth has changed colour to of white

I plan to buy another booth as they are only £20.00, I will have four lights then so I can then try a third light on the top of the booth.

I will have to get a friend to put a shelf on the wall so that I can place the third light on it, I am a wheelchair user so I won't be able to reach it though

LOL I place the photo booth on the kitchen table and I have to watch I don’t burn my armpits when I switch the red hot lights off Ha Ha

Another thing that I did pick up from the links that bmw1racer gave me was taking the photos in the dark at night instead of leaving my kitchen tube light on and that helped.

I saw my first 1:1 M2 today in the fleash and my 1:1 photos are a lot better either, call me a 1er snob but I don't understand the looks of the M2 from the front

eBay seller grana_toys_okc aka Darren has dropped the price of the new Red Hot Wheels 2016 BMW M2 from $5.99 to $1.99.

I have just bought some to decorate an Xmas tree next Xmas, there are only 8 left.

I actually use an architect swing arm lamp like this:

That way it's much easier to move around and place exactly where I want it. Hope this helps!

I would say that BMW there selves probably wont produce a M140i model now that they have already released the other F20 versions.

You never know with the aftermarket model manufactures though.

Spark models for example have said that they are going to release these two BMW E30's from the late 80's and early 90's.

Spark 1:43 Alpina B6 3.5 (E30) Black S2808
Spark 1:43 Alpina B6 3.5 (E30) S2809

Also in recent years manufactures like OttoMobile and GT Spirit have released a load of older model vehicles that don’t seem to have ever been released.

OttoMobile and GT Spirit
https://www.google.co.uk/search?biw=...H9Z4q3EJICF2M:

There is another fellow member that posts on here that really knows his BMW models and unlike me who has to look it up he would know instantly whether there were any F20's with an M Sport body kit.

I am a BMW nut but I started collecting the BMW MINI when it first came out and MINI haven't bothered to release any decent models for a few years now which really annoys me.

This is pitiful MINI line up that hasn’t changed in over a year or two, it consists of two 1:18 and four 1:64 scale models and three 1:36 scale pullback toys.

Did you like the BMW websites own 1:18 scale "MBW M1 Procar"?

Minichamps has just released a correctly named BMW M1 Procar as well in 1:12th, with two more to be released in a few weeks.
