That's fantastic Nick, coming along beautifully!!! 

Gamera.Thank you gave my spin on preshading/black basing.

Lostagain. Thankyou, I like them also. I've seen afew on display but never seen one fly.

That's so cool Piers!

Nick, looking good, always like a Starfighter.

Nausicaa is together and looking alright - just needs some filler on the joints.

Nick: Looks good! She's coming along nicely!!! 

Steve . That is amazing work on that ship.

gray snake. Beautifully done camo on the Type 1!

Lost again. That is interesting subject.

I started on my 3rd F-104 a J model for the Japanese air defence. 

some test fitting.

That's cool looking Piers! Looking forward to seeing more!

It is a pretty good movie.

Just got my copy of 'Godzilla vs. Kong' and now I need a aircraft carrier. Trying not to give away spoilers but the big fight in the middle of the carrier task force is friggin' epic.

Greysnake: She looks great! Love the camo. Will remove the Ki-61. 

Steve: Awesome!!!!!

Going to update the roster and add your photos now. 

Nice job GS. especially on the camo.

Here ya go Cliff. Post this one.

Hello Grey, great job on the AFV, camouflage is very good.

regards,

Jack

Steve: That sounds cool! With her inserted into a photo backdrop I'd never know her from the real thing! 

Thanks Johnny 

Steve stop showing us pics of the real thing

Gam, thank you. I'm sending some pics of her in front of a white background and daylight. A guy on another forum is going to do some Paint magic to it and I'll post it when he finishes.

Thank you Piers. Hopefully I still have something left to do something special to the Sunderland. Kinda like Steven King (who some say I look like sometimes), when he finishes a novel he still has some writing left so he usually writes a short.

Hi Steve,

I have been salivating over your posts for months - that is just a masterpiece there mate. All the detail at every level is just fantastic, the ship, the planes, the crew it is all just so good - truly magnificent.

Hey Steve, I went ahead and posted the 2nd photo. More than happy to change it out though for any new photo you'd rather use!

Thanks guys, it's really special coming from this crowd 

Gam, I'll try to get some better distance pictures but I guess #2. It shows everything plus the water.

Steve, that is one heck of an epic build!

regards,

Jack

Yes, I'm going to say it, it's AWESOME!

WOW Steve!!! I'm not sure which photo to use? Do you have a favorite? I'm sitting here like a fat kid in the candy store just staring at everything! 

Gary: Very apt! 

Banzai!

Gary

Here it is Gam, shes all done, except for a nameplate which I'll have made before taking it down the Vegas.

Not sure I'll get to a Betty this year since I'm so far behind so many things not counting kits.

The thing is too flipin big for decent pics.

Greysnake: Despite your paint issues the camo looks fantastic!!! I'm ready to post her whenever you're done!

Steve: She's just friggin' AWESOME!!! Waiting her to post till you get the photo you want.

Thanks Jack and GS.

I'll have to see what I can do with Jack. My 14 yo grandson would probably be able to do that.

Yep that is super work there, Steve.

Easiest way to photo shop the carrier onto a photo backdrop, would be to shoot it against some kind of solid colour background, like a lime green.  Once loaded into your software create a colour mask based on the backround.  To cut the model out, just reverse mask, copy or cut, and paste the carrier on a photo backdrop of your choosing.

regards,

Jack
