Good evening gentlemen.

Skytrain has it correct Fokker D VIII. Diesel Addict has added the possibility that it would be replica (which it is), and LM has identified two blunders in silhouetting, both correct, too .

I'll call this Skytrain's

Background: I had heard grunts that people don't like my one-dimensional front non-real silhouettes, so I made a real rear silhouette.



All Skytrain's!

Skytrain has requested Open House.

Guten Abend Reg,

I was just about to point out that I had managed to win without being on ther forum for a couple of days, but I see that you've now realised the error, thanks for the thought anyway, I can see why you made it though as skytrain used similar phrases to me

I should still point out that that he requested an open house if correct, but now I see that you've done that too (I'll leave that in JIC people don't notice your edit)

Edited to say apologies for my absence, the home internet has been next to impossible since the engineers work on Saturday morning and may be a few days yet, added to that, I've been too busy at work to get a look in during breaks! Would love to take up the OH, but cannot under these circumstances. Good luck with the photoshopping and learning from the Master, it's looking good so far! Off home now to see if I can get a connection!

I am raising a glass to a new student of mine - not all of my university clients are this quick.

Prost Reg.

I shall sometime post a challenge using a completely different Photoshop trick.

In the meantime I note the Open House............

Now then Reg, all you now need to learn is how to convert a mono image to colour.

Like this:



edit: now Reg you need a further tutorial on clone-stamping........

If its any consolation DA, it would have been more than a minute had I looked in earlier!

Well amazingly I have internet access, just need to keep cranking the handle! American David?

LM I put '2pOB' to Giggle Aerofiles site, and the first returned picture was Braley Beezle Bug's Braley B-1 .

You have photoshopped the pilot out and inverted the picture....

Can I go to bed now?

Edit: Calling it a day. Good night gentlemen!

Guten morgen Reg.

No reply last night because of modem problems. Now I have internet back but no telephone.

Funny how Aerofiles sometimes throws things up immediately. The Braley B1 it is, minus pilot of course because it's an aeroplane silhouette.

You have control. Wot you got up sleeve?

Good morning mate!

Sorry for your problems. Looks like the clones of German telecommunication "experts" are to be found in the Kingdom, too

Here's my contribution for this morning. Basic "real" silhouette, no bells and whistles.



I seem to have lost a lot of quality when saving it as jpg....

I didn't use Aerofile's Search. I searched inside Aerofiles using another search mechanism.

Quality problem eh!

Was the original a gif image by any chance? We might be able to fix that.

Not from Croses but I know exactly why you ask.

Aaa, there you are, next page already. Yes, Lederlin 380L, a.k.a. Ladybug. François Lederlin's redesigned Mignet HM380.

Your turn

Morning LM!
Wow, you're definitely raising the bar regarding silhouettes... the last ones are really beautiful.

Back on topic: has this anything to do with the Hawker prototypes (P.1116, P.1121)?
There are some details that don't seem to fit, though.

A very good morning to you HP.

Keep an eye on RDs' stuff as well - he's getting there.

The challenge has nothing to do with Hawker I'm afraid - keep going.....

Cluetime soon.
