cog Posted September 8, 2018 Share #316 Posted September 8, 2018 If B&W are taken properly, it enhances the items in the image. Colour tends to distract from the content. Taking a good colour picture is relatively easy, compared to taking a good B&W ... without software manipulation, like improving contrast, richness, texture ... that is a lot harder RGL, mtaylor, Canute and 3 others 6 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

RGL Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share #321 Posted September 10, 2018 No mate, just patiently plodding along. If you can see the the Endeavour in the back ground it’s an exercise in patience when it comes to rigging, if I can do that I can do up a crane.

Once you get your head around how it works, it gets easier. I find when working with pe or rigging its one of those - hold my breath times, and if it goes to plan its a just luck, I could do identicle parts requiring pe straight after each other - one could turn out ok and the second one could be wrong or not as good as the first, to me its the stressful part of the build (sometimes).

RGL Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share #323 Posted September 10, 2018 It can be an issue of standing too close to the wall at times. Some details are soo tiny as to be invisible to the naked eye, yet alone practical to attach so I don’t bother. Is it visible form arms length?

lmagna Posted September 10, 2018 Share #329 Posted September 10, 2018 Hi Greg Looks like you are in the downhill process of creating another masterpiece. I know that your main interest has been and looks like will be 1/350th warships for the foreseeable future but you point out your HMS Endeavour in a prior post. Which type of ship do you prefer when you have them all built? I have not seen a closeup of your Endeavour but I am sure that with your talents it is every bit as much a model to be proud of as any of as your modern ships. mtaylor, popeye the sailor, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
