Sometimes happen that we lost our cursor tool somewhere on the image are. Reason is sometimes that the color is identical to the color of the tool. Simple method to find it is to press space and our cursor will convert into the hand and show it position. It is also good shortcut for the movin over large image are- instead to go to tool box you just press space, hold it down and move image all over the screen.

Here it is simple way how to put two images side by side when you work. Go to Windows-Arrange and choose Tile Verticaly.

Hi,

I think that you should change aproach. First apply coat of camouflage color. Then you add white areas. I use 3M self adhesive tape and this one is used in automotive industry. This also perfect work on models too. How to make strips? First cut from tape strips in the precise width of strip on the model. Then place it where it have to be. You get now covered area which you have to paint and idea is that this strip give you path for the next cover. And next cover is- put next to the each edge one more strip. Then remove inner strip and you will get now clear area for painting and the rest is protected.

I am not very clear due to my savage English and it is very nught now. If you like I will make tomorrow at the day light couple of shoots and demonstrate how to do this and I am sure that this will be welcome to all.

Cheers

Let Let Let Announcment / MiG-1 and 3 book

« on: January 04, 2007, 09:32:14 PM »

Greetings all I have just received a book from friend from Italy Massimo Tessitori and the same book is about the famous Soviet WW2 fighter MiG-1 and 3. Book is published by Mushroom Model Publication, see it at www.mmpbooks.biz and have 160 pages. Inside is very nice history, great number of color profiles, a lot of images and of course technical drawings. Size is B5 and book is very authoritative. I recommend it to any air enthusiast interesting in the subject and especially to the plastic modelers.
