Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge

[SincoTC]

Just canvassing to find out who had the book (all those silhouettes are from it).

I called you a cunning bugger the other day and I think that proves the point!!

[skytrain10]

Ken, any connection/theme between them or did you simply hit the random button?

Random...they were just 3 I had lined up that I combined!

Middle one mate, Cessna Titan?

Yep, that's two down

Can I ask for a rough time period and purpose for the left one?

You can, 1920's. Test/research.
Remember whoever get's the last one win's.

[Noyade]

You can, 1920's. Test/research.

Thanks Ken. Hmmm.....

[Noyade]

De Havilland DH 71 Tiger Moth?

[SincoTC]

De Havilland DH 71 Tiger Moth

I recon that's a hat-trick mate

[Noyade]

that I combined!

So you GIMPed three plan views, but how did you electronically combine them for the final "together" shot?

I do like the concept.

What do you call an Indian who makes a hundred runs?

A bowler.

A much repeated joke during the recent Oz/Indian test cricket matches.

De Havilland DH 71 Tiger Moth?

You have it Graeme. First one to Martin, last two to you. Noyade has control

but how did you electronically combine them for the final "together" shot?

I used Paint to do that. You can reduce the size of the silhouette without reducing the actual area of the image...end result a small silhouette on a large white background. Do that to the first one, then copy/pasted the other two one at a time on to the white background, and bingo!

[Noyade]

Thanks Ken!

then copy/pasted the other two one at a time on to the white background

Didn't know that was possible? In Microsoft Paint? Can you pop round and show me how?

Trevor, Ken...start your code engines...

[SincoTC]

start your code engines...

By that I gather you mean it's in aerofiles? Biplane ? How many crew?

[Noyade]

Aerofiles. Yes.
Biplane. Yes.

Crew. Don't know. Will now look...

"2P"

= 2 place = 2 crew members?

[SincoTC]

Thanks, that makes it easier!

Bellanca XSOE-1 ??

[Noyade]

Bellanca XSOE-1 ??

Amazing.

Your control mate.

[SincoTC]

Thanks Graeme,

That one had correct codes, so I only had six "matches" to check

Here's my next silhouette.

[Noyade]

Russian?.......

That one had correct codes, so I only had six "matches" to check

Time for me to move on from the USA me thinks.

[SincoTC]

Russian?.......

да товарищ = yes comrade

[Noyade]
