Review Audi R8 V10 Plus Premier Edition by Maisto 1/18 Scale

Post by sushi2526 » Tue Dec 05, 2017 11:30 pm

Hi everyone. This is my first time making a review of my scale model. I have a small video that I made for this specific model. I also would appreciate any suggestions, tips and tricks to improve my photos or the overall execution of a video review.

Thank you in advance.

If you're going to video, use moving pictures not stills, I don't see the point otherwise. Second loose the captions and use a speaking voice, captions are find to pin point or highlights unique features. Cheers!

I personally like videos made with stills. Unless you have professional equipment with the skills to go with it the focus is much better with stills. As for the captions it’s a no no.

Thank you for the suggestions. I do not have enough equipment to make proper videos. I just took the stills with a phone camera with the model on a white sheet of paper.

I guess I will start voice with still photos for my next video.

Sorry to hijack this review thread, but I just got my R8 (in white), and I've got a shot of the open engine bay for everyone to see :D :

The glass opened easily on mine, but that's because there's a very noticeable gap there. The doors, however, are kind of tricky, even with the little tool that came with it.

EDIT: I just noticed mine is labeled "Exclusive Edition", as opposed to "Premier". I don't know how big a difference that makes.

It is good to see that it opens. I later saw other reviews where they were able to open it. But I tried to open and felt that the plastic would break. Lately many of my models were damaged by me (bloody side mirrors). So I did not want to take any risk with them. Sadly I am not even touching my models in a fear that I would break something else.
