Better but I'm not sure if the pale roundel blue trim works: roundel red might give a better contrast. To drop another suggestion into the mix, what about overall Dark Sea Grey scheme ?

ArnoldAmbrose Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Gidday, group builds usually run for about four months here, but a start date hasn't been decided yet. It still has to get through the bun fight in November. Regards, Jeff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latinbear Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I'm not really a fan of "What ifs" but I think the A4 looks really rather good in the proposed schemes! My favourite is the grey green flavour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit, it's something I've always found interesting. I studied Fine Art and Graphic Design at College. There I was introduced to Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Those two programs opened up a whole new world of creativity for me. I've always been into "What if?" alternate history sort of stories, even as a kid. So it didn't take long to use my new found skills and mix them with my stories to come up with many of my profiles that you'll come across here on Britmodeller. Due to Adobe's greedy subscription service I ditched Adobe and bought Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer to do the exact same thing at a fraction of the cost with a one time fee! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you use an initial blank plate and just adjust as needs be? Where do you get the blanks from if so or do you create them from cross-sections? I have a few ideas in mind for a 1 type = all roles type of thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually its a pretty involved process that can take days or weeks to complete. Not for the feint hearted. Here's a link that will help explain the process: http://www.rjlee.org/novice-avart-2.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainpeden Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Just a bit of fun. It's the Esci/Italeri 1/48th kit. 20211025_112833[1] by Iain Peden, on Flickr 20211025_112816[1] by Iain Peden, on Flickr I used Fujimi FGR.2 1/72 decals. Back story?
