froobyone Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hi all, I trust everyone is well. I've been absent for three years due to work commitments and now I'm self employed I thought I'd visit again. Only problem was, I was at the old forum and was happily catching up with things for three days before I realised there were no posts past 2009 o.O Anyway, I found you again (possible comunal groan). I don't think I ever shared any pics of what little progress my little layout made, so I'm posting them now. If I have already posted these, then apologies in advance. Kettles on... Rest of the pics are here All the photos Also, I found a peice of software which I use in my business that I think also could have it's uses in our hobby. It's called Dynamic Auto Painter and it's used for turning photographs into paintings. It's not like Photoshop, as it will create something original every time you use it, even with the exact same settings. I used it on some of my model shots, which I include here. I think it costs about £50, which I think is quite good value. I'd like to add that I am in no way affiliated with the creators of the software, I just use it professionaly. So, hello again, I promise to behave. Froobyone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted January 19, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hi Daniel, good to see you back - I remember the avater animation from before! I do like the photos of the depot, I'm not always keen on TMDs as they can be an excuse to stuff in too many locos but you seem to have captured the atmosphere well. That last painting effect picture seems quite convincing too - you should have hidden the photo & passed it off as your work.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Max Stafford Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Good to have you back Daniel. Nice work with the layout too!

class"66" Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hi and welcome back,very smart layout you have....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
froobyone Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hi guys Thank you for the warm welcome back. Really nice to see such familiar names again. I hope everyone is well. I've got to quite a bit of "prepartory work" before I make inroads into the layout. i.e. I have to clear 3 years of boxes and "put it in the spare bedroom" items. But I've spied a bag of ballast, underneath a dead camel, so I'll have something to do when I get there. The layouts and rolling stock on here continue to blow me away. Thank you.

F-UnitMad Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I've been absent for three years ... I thought I'd visit again. Away three years...??!!?? I feel faint at the very thought - I couldn't last three days without my RMweb Fix..!! Welcome back indeed, from someone else who remembers your Avatar!! :D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted January 21, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2011 I only joined a couple of years ago, so your layout is unfamiliar, but surely has an honourable place on these pages, so welcome indeed. Sorry, but I find nice sharp snaps far more fun to inspect than artwork, whether prepared by a gifted artist or any old software. Why camouflage your hard work and quality modelling when it looks just fine in stark reality, and there aren't any real warts to be hidden? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
