Awesome vignette! Love the details! Great planes and landscape!

Cool dogfight, check mine out which should be up in an hour.

5 stars!!!excellent work !

Small, but with a lot of history! keep with the good job!

Verry cleaver. The front blade design was really smart. I never would have thought to do that.

I've used a bunch of freeware over the years; the best I've found is Paint.NET. (which actually does have the levels option, but the trace tools are limited) I've played around with it quite a bit, and I've gotten the hang of near Photoshop-grade MOC posts. Our computer's getting old though, (we're only running 1024MB of RAM, with a Centrino Duo processor, no specialized video card) and I'm pushing for a Mac. That should speed things up, and Macs ship with iPhoto.

Sweet! I have Adobe Photoshop 7 so I can do stuff like that.

I've never used other programs much, when I started using editing programs we already had elements so I just stuck with that.

Ah. Unfortunately, I don't have that luxury with free-ware.

I actually used the levels option I have with photoshop elements. I outlined the the gray piece and by clicking the gray area made all the gray turn black for the selected area. This allowed me to keep the lighting affects. I probably could have left the lime green out. I was going for that patchwork field look you see from the air, where all the fields are different colors.

Woa. Nice, nice. Awesome planes.

So did you use the 'Trace-Copy-&-Paste' method or the 'Take-Two-Pictures-&-Combine' method? I assume it's the latter, since you were able to get different lighting angles on all three towers. I really like the landscaping. It's probably the hardest thing to build, because it's so unpredictable and asymmetrical.

I think a dewotine flying around would be cool.The 109 and spitfire are too common.

YAY! first to comment! this is soo coooool i love the plane design and the radar towers i think those are radar towers imtoo lazy to read right now

Very nice. A great idea to display your awesome planes like that. I also like the inclusion of the radar towers. My only nitpick however is that grass. Using all those different colors of green makes it look rather patchy and random. it would probably look better if only two shades had been used. ~T

Excellent vig! I really like the planes, and the radar towers are a nice touch. Great work!
