Brad, most likely about three postings back... Josef, admire your work no end. Leif

Dustin, if you seet this, the issue with the Airacobra on the cover is the one containing the extra interior stuff (engine and gun bay). Leif

A very ambitious and worthy undertaking, Orion! Leif

Loved the smoke, but what really did it for me was the pincers. After all those photos, suddenly to realize her "full" size. I knew she was small; I didn't realize she was SMALL. Well done, Jim! Leif

Gefahren, on the focus problem: 1. Use a small tripod (you probably are already). 2. Set the camera to self-exposure (you may already be doing that; many advantages, including being able to get your own fingers into the picture for size reference and general "action"). 3. When...

Nice wooden finish! - L.

No slapping intended, Tim, sorry!!! Just wanted to keep that thread alive, since there were so many valuable contributions. Altogether it made for a lot of information. - Leif

Tim, the interference between the print pattern in the original and the mesh imposed by the scanner and printer, I became wise to in the post about moirée patterns. I knew about this from an earlier life as a journalist but never thought about it in paper modeling, until I detected the...

Well done, Darwin. Nice trick with the 300 - 250 dpi resolution! And I am so glad some of all that on scanning and recolouring could be used for good purposes by others too. (By the way - and I hope this is alright with you, Darwin - the stuff on scanning is here.) Jim, the way it works - I'm...

I love reading this, not least for the amount of new words I'm (gradually) learning - fantail, davits, bollards (haven't figured that one out yet, but don't spoil the mystery by explaining it, I'm sure I'll get there eventually...). Leif

Thanks for the kitchen paper tip, Barry. And the Hood does look great! - Leif

My, oh my, what a precedence you are setting, Josef! I do hope and think you have as much pleasure from accomplishing this as the rest of us have watching you do it! Leif

That is a most lovely little ship Jim, and so well built! - Leif

Jim, that was a jewel of a tip on making the funnels, appreciate it very much. You realize of course that the method could be used for modelling exhaust stubs on aircraft models, too, just as an example. Very nice. I especially enjoyed noticing that you, too, seem to make your own little...

Jim, I appreciate your points about readability, and will take my cue from you, Barry. I'm going back to the recolouring thread in an attempt to make it intelligible. See you in a little while. Thanks, Leif

Absolutely in a league by itself! - L.

Thanks, Josef. Possibly a very good tip. Although I hate working with material that needs smelly solvents and heat... I'll think about this. - Leif

Thanks guys for the tips and warnings. Will adhere. In order not to hijack Josef's thread further, let's just remind the powers-to-be that we are watching picture-of-the-week material here, right? Leif

Looking forward to that, Gil, as always! You know, my Cyclone is in 1/16, which is the reason I thought Josef's solder might do the trick very nicely. As for the chairs I was mentioning, I've made a test chair using 1,5 mm copper wire, and soldered the joints. I'm looking for something a...

I literally cannot believe what I'm seeing; but any more than that I won't elaborate, Josef, 'cause you'll just be embarassed. I can tell that you really enjoy both making these small masterpieces and telling the story of making them in both pictures and words. So let me just share your joy and...
