@Sharkmouth It is now called CANVASXdraw. It isn't cheap, but it isn't crazy my current version is the non subscription and I got it on sale, I won't do subscription based software, as I have been bitten by buggered releases and if it expires and craps out I am stuck. The buy version for what...

@paddy here are just some samples and examples of the new (to me) tool in the program I have used for decades. I think it has always been there I just wasn't aware of it. (DUH!) :smack: Anyway, a while back I downloaded a new revision of the program and discovered the envelope tool. Here...

As I am at work, I can't demonstrate what I did. Rotating, and doing parallelograms are easy. What I did was adjust the photo so that the box was more rectangular (squared up) the photos when not perfectly centered will be smaller on one side than the other. This lets me adjust it to square it...

@paddy excellent photos! Remember though the undersides were almost always lighter. As in the last photo, the undersides are a light blue to match with sky. If it was above you would see the shadow against sky or lighter cloud cover, so again, probably no applied to bottom, but to sides and...

I am being taken over by the green! Andy had a 4th of July sale and the M10 had always intrigued me. The Chaffee is a new kit and the Gecko kit of the Panzer Jager II impressed me so I decided to get it for something different to push my limits. I also tried out a tool in my program that...

If you are doing the white wash over the green, it would wear off with rain and other affects, it would chip, but usually only on leading edges of things like wings and tail surfaces. Also the white wash would probably not be applied underneath. Why bother as it could not be seen from the air...

Was a model maker LONG before I ever messed with a watch.

Well, here is what I have been working on for about the last week and a half. Still a LOT of rivets to be added, and other small minor details, but these are the majority of the corrections and rework on the trails. The travel locks were more a case of "can I actually do this and make...

Really looking good Paddy! There is so much tiny detail in the center of that engine, that it would be a nightmare to even try and replicate it. Glad it is hidden and you don't have to try.

Looks like you have nailed the true flavor of New Jersey with these.

Looking good Gary!

Making some really good progress on the mods and went off tangent to make the gun mount locks actually "WORK"!! Brass tubing, #1-72 screws and tap, lathe work and rework. I have one working, now to do the other one for the other side. No photos till the main mods are all done as they will be...

Bob, if I remember an old conversation I had years ago, the Roden triplane isn't even a true DR1. It is an F1 or something like that. Very similar, but different, as in "prototype" different. The Roden kit might be decent, but just "different". Your model your build.

Sounds like you have been fighting with the Typo Monster there Paddy! It is an ongoing issue with me, but in many cases it has to do with the Corsair Gaming keyboard and the super sensitive keys that it has. I never had this much trouble with my older keyboard, but it also had keys that...

I just asked as that was a vehicle I had never seen before. I could tell it was British, and a recon tank as it was way too light with a BIG gun on it. Ian, I always love you building something from a photo rather than something just made up.
