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.KSaarni wrote:PS.

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.Stikpusher wrote:It looks straight out of a magazine. Way too high end for this crowd

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

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

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

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:

Re: Heinkel He 100: Intercontinental Friendship Model Shop P
You know the fuselage halves came with no openings for side windows, only a surface in the green plastic is clearly marked as "window".
I tried to cut it out by using drills, reamer drill (?), files, scalpels and glas-fibre pen.
That was successful, but the small remaining plastic frame is now very week (see white decoloration of material)
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.
It was a success regarding feasibility unfortunately the window shape is incorrect.
