chaz Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Anybody care to follow my lead by posting a nice loco portrait? (NIce loco, or nice portrait, or both!) Just a couple of rules.... The photo was taken by you it depicts a 12inch to the foot loco (oh alright, units allowed), not a model - plenty of other places on forum for model shots SG or NG (even BG), moving or stationary, steam, diesel or electric, British or overseas - just about anything goes. Here's mine for starters.... Chaz 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robmcg Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Lovely idea for a thread, thankyou. I don't have any 12" to the foot pics to show but appreciate the chance to see how things really look, being in NZ. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Banger Blue Posted July 14, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 14, 2013 I like the "frames" round your two photos Dougie. What software do you use to add these? Chaz, I use a free online picture editor www.picmonkey.com. There are more effects/ editing tools available if you subscribe but the free version has all the basics I require. It has several frame options, one of which allows you to have an area to put a title in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
