This is quite good fun, you could make some quite amusing content

My Airfix 1/72 Me 262



Copilot's response to my prompts; not too bad considering it's the first time I've used it to create an image!

[Stealthracer]

Here's the model:



And here's the diorama - I asked for the car to be parked outside an English country pub, on a late autumn evening in the early 70s, together with some other cars from the same era:



Strangely enough, the car in the diorama looks more like the real thing than the model did. I wonder if perhaps I could have not bothered with the original photo completely!


So I tried that, and here's the result:

My more recent attempts have turned out quite well:

Not quite what I had in mind, but I actually quite like it

The knife and calipers are too big to fit in the tool chest!

[Stealthracer]

I quite like that, the level of detail is really good, right down to the jars of Tamiya and Mr. Color paints on the shelves.

(Although it's got a bit confused as to whether the tools etc, in the background are for models or full size cars.)

My Emhar 1/72 WWI Mark IV tank (this kit cost a fiver from a charity shop!)



CoPilot's output after asking it to place the tank in a WWI battlefield setting.




I found it difficult to get the soldiers properly scaled - initially they were massive, then they were diddy, then they were this size, still too big but I gave up after a few attempts.

It's good fun this! My thanks to the OP for coming up with this idea.

My Airfix 1/72 Tiger I, which I enhanced with a brass etch Zimmerit set and originally snapped against a makeshift printed background.



Now in a Normandy scene in the summer of '44, complete with an unfortunate bovine victim of the conflict (it was common to see dead cows in battle areas in Normandy, apparently).

My Vespid Models 1/72 A34 Comet tank, photographed against the fairly crude printed background I used to snap a number on my braille scale armoured vehicle models.



Copilot has placed it into a ruined German town in the spring of 1945, quite effectively I think

I asked ChatGPT to modify this Fiesta in the style of Max Power magazine and place it at a cruise. It's still too small but it'll have to do.

[Oberheim]

I do like the look of that diminutive Fiesta - great colour too.

AI image creation apps seem to struggle to scale the subject correctly with human figures they add to the scene. If the model includes a correctly scaled model figure (either on/in the model or standing alongside it) then the image creator is often more successful at correctly scaling human figures throughout the scene.

Isn't it travelling in reverse?

Yes, the tank has definitely reversed in from the left of the scene and the offensive appears to be in the other direction! The image needs some remedial work, really.

Yep, I’d be happy enough with that
