Joseph Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 O.K. Folks, First I want to thank all the help I've gotten in getting this project started. With so many screw-ups and mistakes, on my part, I've decided to start this thread over. The new thread includes Part 1 and Part 2. From here on out this will be the ONLY thread for this project. Thank you all for your patience and advice. Cheers! Joseph
Van Halen Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 perfect detailing man, i know its off now but you could have tried etching the challenger logo of the grill ?
Joseph Posted June 5, 2010 Author Posted June 5, 2010 perfect detailing man, i know its off now but you could have tried etching the challenger logo of the grill ? Neal, Thanks for the compliment! I'm not sure what you mean about the Challenger logo. It isn't needed for the grill of the Posey car I am replicating (see photos). I'll just be using some fine mesh for the grill, no logo. Were you wanting it photo-etched? Cheers! Joseph
Van Halen Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 What i meant was, etch the 'Challenger' logo OFF the plastic grill, ie. cut it off carefully ? It probably wont look to good if you did that as youde have to replicate the mesh in its place.. So a personal reccomendation for that mesh if you cant find any, go buy a cheap cooking sieve with that type of square mesh on. then its easily just cut off and then ide use some wire for the edging as it looks pretty thin. thats just what i would do, you look like your sorted anyhow

modelhut Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Joseph, first-off, great job with the modifications. Such a clean job, great skill. Second, I am not real technically savvy, what are program are you using to display the pictures and commentary? It is great Thanks, Rod.

Second, I am not real technically savvy, what are program are you using to display the pictures and commentary? It is great Thanks, Rod. Rod, Thanks for the kind comments! The program I'm using is called Photo Impact. It's a really easy and old program that I find takes a little less time than PhotoShop. But maybe it's just me. I had hoped to have another update this week, but circumstances has led to a delay. Keep watching this space, there is more to come! Cheers! Joseph
