It looks straight out of a magazine. Way too high end for this crowd :giggles: :tease: :wink:

Most everything I do here is done with an iPhone which means anyone with a smartphone can do it. Adobe Photoshop PS Express is the finisher. With PSE you can edit, collage and add text quickly. There are templates available to use, too. I actually was told by my roommate from school to take my photos and make magazine illustrations to show prospective clients/art directors what I can do when I graduated school.

I just don’t want to be pretentious. That’s the kiss of death. I do feel compelled to try things out to make these pages connect better with everyone. Like I wrote to Kari, long ago it was suggested I do this as a try out method for work.

I’m just playing Bruce, it’s not pretentious at all. It is however quite professional looking. :wink:

I second what Carlos said. Your pics are truly inspiring seeing them edited the way you do them. Don't change!

Thank you thank you thank you!

Marius and I are making joint decisions using WhatsApp; my local time is 1:00 pm, he is 9 hours ahead. First he begins with a photo to initiate a discussion; we are both well aware of the Lindberg’s limitations of detail. These are considerable. Some are alright; necessary for the scale and in keeping with the maker’s aspirations: easy to build, easy to build.

Reference photo by Marius as a back and forth discussion begins! We send photos back and forth.

Marius sends instructions from a Special Hobby kit:

These images clearly show the outstanding work you have done so far. Chapeau!
I am a bit behind for a lot of reasons. Nevertheless I am currently focusing on my biggest concern after the success of correcting the fuselage shape: small windows behind cockpit!

You know the fuselage halves came with no openings for side windows, only a surface in the green plastic is clearly marked as "window".
Image

I tried to cut it out by using drills, reamer drill (?), files, scalpels and glas-fibre pen.
Image
Image

That was successful, but the small remaining plastic frame is now very week (see white decoloration of material)
Image

Now how to get a window matching all contours (all directions)? First trial with PS clear material with thickness of 1 mm. Used 1 mm to be able to sand it into final shape after glueing in.
Image
Image

It was a success regarding feasibility unfortunately the window shape is incorrect.
