MikeMc Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Photo tip.......JPEGs are modified from what you see. This Merc in person explodes....never know it by this picture. Here it is like I saw the car....Virgil used Duplacolor special effex clear....NOW that pops!! (I removed the background distraction)
JustBill Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 That car is gorgeous! Totally mesmerizing!! Nice work on the photo. Its like I can almost reach into the screen and pick it up! I'll send you my pics from now on!! I know things in person are pretty much totally different then looking at pics. I just painted a car for a buddy and I had to reassure him the color was much darker in person then the progress pics I was sending him. It sucks we can't all see the actual models some of these guys build. It does however make it that much more enjoyable if we are fortunate enough to see them in person.
MikeMc Posted December 7, 2011 Author Posted December 7, 2011 That car was wowser in the orig pics....I couldn't believe it up close!! heres one more of Virgils......
Dr. Cranky Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Thanks, Mike. Wow, I wish I knew enough about Photoshop, etc., to be able to do that . . . I know Harry is a master at it. The paint job on that Merc took me days to do and it almost did me in, but it turned out the way I dreamt it up one night. Thanks to those amazing AB templates CRAIG FRASER keeps putting out, bless his heart, for he is as crazy about Steampunk as I am.
