here are some pics of a Rebel I did in the early eighties.






This is a Trumpeter Hong Qi I did. The frame required much work.








This is a six banger 56 Chevy made from Revells really nice kit

Nice work lordairgtar

[Andy Wyatt]

Cool stuff!

[lordairgtar]

Thanx for the compliments, but my pics are huge. How do I get them to be a more manageable size?

[Jairus]

When shooting, change the resolution on the camera to a lower setting.
I have an Olympus and the best setting is "SQ1".
If you have a computer image program... change the width setting to about 8 inches across at 72dpi.

[lordairgtar]

Thanx Jairus, a friend took the pics for me, so I don't know if I can change anything there but I just got a digi-cam and although it is a cheapie, I will learn to use it and see what happens. I guess the next question is...what is a image program? I'm a total idjit when it comes to computers.

Great models man!

As far as the pics are concerned..........you can pick up the Paint Shop Pro 7 (made by JASC software) which will let you resize the pics once you have them on your hardrive.

I take my pics at a high res them resize them so that the crisp details can still be seen.

Hope this helps!

Awesome builds!

[lordairgtar]

Thanx biscuit, good to see you here. Hope to see you here more.

[lordairgtar]

Aw geez, I tried to resize photos and got some real goofy results ...oh well

Gregg, if you use Fotki it sizes the pics for you. You can choose from a group of options but the base option is roughly the size of your third Rebel picture.

Nice work BTW! The Rebel is my favorite. I like the more obscure stuff!

Is that the Red Flag Limo? I have one of those but I didn't have any glues that would work on it good so I boxed it back up. That was before I discovered Super Glue but I've not gotten back to it yet!

[lordairgtar]

Bill, that is the Red Flag, and it certainly does have some interesting plastic. I had to use super glue on most of it BTW, I used the front and rear suspension from a Lindberg 1/20th scale S10 truck. Looks better than what Trumpeter provided and fits.

Very sweet AMC! I always liked that car.
