Winslow Boy Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 What time does the yoga start please. I can't make it out on the poster. Is it after the knitting club? I trust we won't have to 'tidy up' again. It took ages getting the blood out of those floorboards. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted March 21 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 21 I’m amazed by the advertisements in the pub noticeboard. I think one is for a chimney sweep. How did you get such fine detail? 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you get such fine detail? Some where included with the models whilst others where reduced pictures I then cut each one out and stick them randomly on the backing.

I think one is for a chimney sweep. How did you get such fine detail? I used a PC and [ordinary] inkjet printer. You can get reasonable resolution without needing anything expensive/sophisticated. I used MS Publisher and Paint shop pro and played around a bit - I'm not the world's best with IT so reckon most computer users could do something similar. In terms of 'source material', I photographed posters, picture frames and other household objects like vases with flowers, rows of books and children's toys (for the inside of windows rather than noticeboards) and scanned a few books and magazine covers (favourite copy of BRM for a table/dashboard anyone?) and then a little 'jiggery-pokery' later, had a sheet of things which were printed out onto decent high res paper or thin card. You can create your own posters, whether for chimney sweeps or railway excursions. This is a shop front which used some of my '4mm' pictures (modelling by Tony Jones for the Shipley club's Leicester South). I take various photos of local scenes, landscapes, dogs and vintage cars etc. which can be digitally inserted into various frames. And a close up of some of the pictures from my 'framed picture sheet': 14 1 13 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponthir28 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I think that’s a real photo. Probably taken from a 1938 version of Rightmove. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Townend Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I'm only 51, does that mean I need some fake ID to be allowed to follow LM?! Loving the photos of the seldom seen parts of LM, that pic with the bins has more detail in it than most would even think of, the lintels and flashings are excellent. I know we were treated to being shown similar close ups when the Wing Commander first noticed them but I've been thinking for about 6 months of asking to see the interior of the garage again. Please Kevin? And I absolutely love this morning's photo. If only you weren't interested in these blooming train things you'd have more space for LM scenery! 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
