John,

Would that be jeweler's loop?
Something new for my Xmas/Birthday/Dad's Day wishlist.

Are you calling her done? Or do you have some more surprises for us? Perhaps an antenna, or a crewmember?

Keith, I got my loops at Micromark.com. They were just under 40 USD. I don't know what I did without them all these years! I highly reccomend them.

As to more surprises -could be, could be, just waiting on the mailman.

I have been fooling around with Paintshop Pro and thinking about the AFV modeller mag photo contest.

Here is a Pic I have done, and the start point before the ageing process. what do you think?

That's interesting John. Did you 'blur' the tracks to give the appearance of movement? Sure looks like it is moving.

IMHO I think you should blur the rest of the vehicle. It looks a little too crisp for both the scene and photography methods of that period. And perhaps get a little farther back, less of a close-up.

But those are just my views. I will have to go play with my Photoshop 7 and see what I can do!

That would be kewl Keith - Post it up!

Ok here is another go at the paint shop pro thing, any feedback would be appreciated.

Here is the orginal pic with the background added


My First go round with PSP


My latest go round.

John,
Here is my feeble attempt at this. I take back everything I said in my critique--it ain't at easy at it looks. How did you get that crinkled, folded, look?



The Original:



I know it is not a Civil War cannon, therefore Mathew Brady could not have taken the photo, but it is all I have to work with at the time being.

NP Keith,

The whole pic was re-touched with filters, some that game with the progam, some that were plug-ins. I beleive the wrinkles are from one of alien wares PSP plugins.

Well it is all done. I posted the pics in the campaign forum as it was entered in the Seeing Red Campaign.
