Finally a Koenigsegg
Welcome.
My latest project for my miniature cars has finally been posted. I was really nervous about posting this since I was disabled on Instagram. You can read about that in my other post. But I was able to share it, and I couldn't be happier.
The Koenigsegg 1:18 Gemara has been on my list for a long time, and I decided to take it home and create something cool with it.
It turned out in something more futuristic and sci-fi. The basement/garage/workshop style area should be a tuned-up area for cars.
But I don't think it's needed for the Koenigsegg, right. So I called the project on Instagram; System Overload. Which I thought was a bit funny.
The set is made of XPS foam and plaster. I combined those to get more rock shapes and more significant pieces of rocks instead of carving everything out in XPS. It worked fine, and the structure felt good.
I had a fan from a hairdryer in my workshop that I placed on the "ground area" the get more details in the shot. I even thought the area needed to be able to get fresh air…
I bought two metallists at the construction store as rails for the car. I added a metal net between the two lists to create more details. The biggest detail is a mother card(?) hanging on the rock side wall. This was lying around in the office, the first creative piece to make this project happen.
The light sources I used for this one were three Aperture MCs and one NanLight Pavotube that I put underneath the car to get the blue light.
I have used a diffuser for the car, so it's two shots combined in post to get the best-looking car possible.
The whole image is retouched profoundly, which means; cleaned up, and color graded, and I have even added my overlays to the final version.
I use my brushes that you can find Here via Adobe and My Overlay Packs which you can find in my shop. Smoke and light rays for this one.
The camera is a Canon R5 with a 16-35mm lens.
If you have any question let me know!
