Mechalangelo Project: from model kit to toy photography and... a bit of magic!

The first step is assembling a lot of very small plastic parts from the model kit, and you need to hand-paint each piece. After posing and shooting models, I use several photo editing tools, designing myself and 3D printing some stage accessories. I usually get some images from photostock and generative AI... It takes about 100 hours of work to achieve the final image.

I'm an industrial photographer, with a passion for mecha.

I am AinteXt.
