Joking aside, I just post the image straight from the hosting site without any changes to it.
Is there an option to resize the image on the site you are using mate ?

I like the thumbnail, its a grower rather than a show'er lol
Looking bloody great fellas!Here we go again with a few more pics ( bigger than Jay's you'll notice )
Getting the shading on now nearly there but again a few hours of constant spraying has caused me to stop.
These just need a bit more at the top mainly inside the recesses above the door then I can get the step done and fine tune everything to blend the finish together
The Big boy v3.0 is getting there too ( as the others it needs the bits above the door doing )
Looking bloody great fellas!
Just wondering, but do you finish the paint app with a matt clear coat or are they left as is?

I'll be satisfied either way. Was just wondering about the process.Cheers Pete
I will wait until the end and see how it looks. I don't need a clear coat to seal the finish as I'm using lacquer thinner but I will buff the finish with Micromesh to take away any dusty overspray and if it puts too much shine on then I'll give it a very light coat to dull it down.
The movie shows quite a reflective surface but I don't think that would look right in scale so I'm leaning toward a Matt/semi Matt finish.

This is my first custom piece & i've already placed an order for another.
Very impressive work guys. ����

Mate, i trust you boys won't ship those out until you're 100% satisfied with your work.No worries mate
I always tend to alter things as I go along depending on what I think looks best ( translates to " I fly by the seat of my pants " ) so the process isn't fixed by any means lol
For instance the mottling on the doors looks very heavy in the pics and not so much in hand but I've got my eye on it and I know that once the step is painted that it will change how it looks so I'll wait until the steps finished and unmasked and if I think it's too heavy I'll blend it in some more on all of them.
I'll also take some pics in different lighting once they are done to try and give everyone an idea of how they look to the eye.

I've been in the signage industry for 27 years & am a qualified old school sign writer, so my OCD drives me insane. My saying was & still is " if I was a customer, would I be happy to hand over my hard earned for that end product? "You beat me to it, I was just adding a few words to my post lol
