Take a look at this! Now that is a great idea. http://home1.gte.net/konman/AcesMenu.html Cheers! John.[:)]
Whoa! That’s awesome! I wonder what program they (he, she?) used to edit the props and stuff like that as well as the background? Really cool!
WOW! that describes it in one word! WOW
Hey Scuba! Go to www.theaerodrome.com for the answer to that question.Look under the Art forum.I think putting your models into your own artwork is just a super idea.Cheers! John.
Those backdrops really make the models stand out. They don’t even look like MODELS!
Yeah,and the great thing is that you could recreate any historical setting using your own model.I dont understand why more modelers are not doing this especially the younger computer literate types.I guess like anything else it will take a while for it catch on I guess.Cheers! John.
It’s on of those things that take a lot of time and patience. Unfortunately, when you snap a pic of a model, with intentions for a backdrop, lighting becomes a very big issue, and I for one am not that skilled of a photographer to accomplish this with any degree of success.
Also, in order to cut the model out of your pic fully and accurately takes a) a LOT of time, and b) some fairly expensive image editing software, which in itself takes a lot of skill to work with. Best would be if you have a photographer buddy who can snap pics of your models for you.
Hey I agree.I take all my own pics with a 35mm camera.But for those creative types with computer skills this is wonderful option.As far as cost is concerned, knowing a little about software ,its only a matter of time before Walmart has it on sale for $1.99.[:D]Cheers! John.
have you seen Pixilaters photos
i think there even better than the guys in the link, they look like a PC game

Wow, those really are spectacular. They DO look very real indeed.
Thanks Captain Caveman.Another great site. Cheers! John.
Two great sets of pics!! I’m impressed.
wow no other words!
I found a great tutorial on How to create in-flight digital photographs and making model cut outs and transferring them to a terrain image.Thanks to Caz Dalton for sharing. Go to www.aircraftresourcecenter.com click on Tools n Tips then Photographs. This is a step by step tutorial.Lots of great info. Cheers! John.
heres another site that show you how to do it http://www.pegaweb.com/tutorials/beginners-guide-adobe-photoshop/
Thanks for the info. Cheers! John.
some look alot like screen shots from combat flight simulater or Il-2
for example:
Yeah I agree,those are nice shots but it is the whole idea of using your own handbuilt models to create flat art that really appeals to me,especially when used in a historical context.Personally I would love to build the Tamiya mossie that was produced a few years ago with RCAF 401 SQD markings.It is an aircraft that my dad actually flew over the D-Day beaches.I would love to recreate that bit of history for my family.And that is just one small sample of what could be done using photo/dioramas. Cheers! John
Matrixone.Please note the two tutorials available to help with your photo/diorama idea.Cheers! John.
