\"Presentation<\/p>\n

A platform for presentation and photography of small scale LEGO vehicles.<\/strong>
\nThe idea was a platform for the presentation of my 4-wide vehicles, especially to take photos from different angles without changing position or zoom factor of the camera. I started with a square platform based on a 16×16 base plate, but the platform was a little small to get a reflection of the whole car on the platform. Black was the best colour to get a cool reflection.<\/p>\n

The ideal form would be a circle. An octagon formed by four 10×10 plates with 45 deg cutout was already getting close. A circle formed by 16 round 1×1 tiles (representing spots in the floor) added some extra coolness.<\/p>\n

In the center of the platform there is a little turntable to change the angle of the car in front of the camera without “moving” the car itself:
\n\"\"<\/a>Transparent plates, tiles and jumper plates are used to fix the car on the turntable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>For an “odd” length of the model (in studs) the jumper plates are used to center the model on the platform.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>For an “even” length of the model the plate and the tile are used.<\/p>\n

Just turn the turntable…
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

… to change the photo angle of the model …
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

… without changing the position of the model on the photo.
\n\"\"<\/a>You only need a tripod to freeze the position of your camera ;-))<\/p>\n

<\/a>It works great for an animated GIF, too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So this is my presentation platform for small scale LEGO vehicles.
\nI hope you like it :-))<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
