Title: Airfield under attack!
Post by: matrixone on July 08, 2006, 07:37:03 PM
My latest attempt at photoshop images.

A Luftwaffe base just after an air raid, not too much damage done because the Ta 183s forced the attackers to flee.

Thanks very much John, Chris, nev, lancer, and markm70!

This image is just a step forward towards my goal which I call ''Operation Fool A JMN''.

In another year if I can continue to learn how to improve my images and models I might be able to start fooling some of the experts at a certain other modelling site, now THAT will be fun! :D

I have some interesting whiffs that are nearly ready for paint, can't wait to see how these will turn out.

Wow absolutely incredible Matrixone! It's gonna be a real treat hearing some self-professed "expert" argue how these shots are real someday.

Thanks very much Brian!

It is hoped that after some of the 'experts' see that whiffs CAN look realistic then maybe we won't be looked down upon as much.

In a couple months I will have some REALLY interesting pictures to post but I need to finish the current group of models first before getting to my 'secret projekt'. B)

Eddie,

Thanks for looking at my work and taking the time to reply.

This will be my last photoshop image I will post for a while, I have had a bad cold the last 5 days and have not done any work on models during that time but am starting to feel better now and just got done airbrushing some base coats on four different models, and I expect my free time will be spent on the models instead of the pictures of them.

I just found out two of the landing gear parts for my DML 1/48 scale Horten 229B are damaged (broken) but are fixable with some extra time and work. This is the second DML kit in a row I found that had parts broken while still attached to the sprues. :angry:

Thank you very much Davey B!

This a fun way to display what-if type models.
