Fabulous '50s GB / Rules
« Last post by GTX_Admin on Today at 01:10:37 AM »Hi folks,
Here are the Rules of the Fabulous '50s Group Build:
Regards,
Greg
Here are the Rules of the Fabulous '50s Group Build:
- Have Fun!!!
- As the name implies, the idea is to create something with some linkage to the 1950s (or 1850s, 2050s - I am prepared to be flexible if you want to argue your case). This could be a real world creation, something from an alternative '50s or something that somehow references it. If need be ask me.
- Both real world or whiff are welcomed and encouraged. Any medium - so physical models, Pixels/profiles and stories (and anything else if you can think of it) are all welcome.
- Creativity encouraged as is collaboration
- Duration is from 13 Jun 2025 to 30 Sep 2025. An extension may be granted, but only a short one and only if the Moderator (me) feels like it. (Bribes welcomed on this front.)
- Physical creations and pixels/stories will be judged separately
- Any questions are to be directed to the Moderator (me again...sorry...wait a minute, no I'm not)
- See rule 1
Regards,
Greg

Profiles and Pixels / Re: Litvyak's profiles

I'm that way with Gimp, never actually learnt what I'm doing... well that's not entirely true. But I've only learnt about 5% of it. I need to look up how to simulate the appearance of metallic and pearlescent colours...

For whatever reason, I actually enjoy cutting out shapes from their backgrounds. The rest is usually just subtraction or addition (generally from other images collected online).
I'd love to make a photo of left-hand traffic on the Lion's Gate, or in front of the Hotel Vancouver, or Parliament in Victoria... maybe one day I'll give it a try.

Other / Re: Random Diorama Ideas
« Last post by perttime on Yesterday at 12:26:36 PM »So, In Real Life, the train struck the aircraft and not the other way round.This illustration was labelled as “The unsettling art of illustrator Walter Molino for “La Domenica del Corriere” Italian weekly magazine.”
Looks like a Douglas F4D Skyray, if I’m not mistaken?
Would make an interesting diorama.
MAD
That could be an interesting diorama - I assume it is inspired by this incident: https://asn.flightsafety.org/wikibase/174845

Profiles and Pixels / Re: Litvyak's profiles
« Last post by apophenia on Yesterday at 10:41:06 AM »Drawing this was pretty fun and painless, I found a good almost perfectly side-on view of (I think) a clay model of the P8, and worked off that...
Ya gotta love those finds! It is in the nature of lens that you'll rarely find a perfect side view. But, when you're close, it is a good day
... I have no idea how you do your photo manipulations, and I'm scared to even try...
