I've been playing with some photo editing software. Not very good at it yet but you need to start somewhere.

That top photo is my favorite thus far. The darn thing looks very real and would be awesome in a 18x24 format ( color )

Here is a modified version of the 1st one. Which do you like better?
BTW, my original files are 22 x 16. I'm thinking if printed to 22 x 18, it would leave a 1" white border.

The boat is just beautiful. You certainly did a great job on the details and the painting. Did the Mark 13 torpedoes and racks come with the kit or did you get them elsewhere? Since I was a Higgins crewman, I wish someone made a comparable Higgins kit.

Thanks CJ.
The kit included these racks and torpedoes. I modified the racks to better match the 495. A Higgins boat would be great. I would jump on that!
This kit builds a late war boat. I made a number of changes and made additional items to match the 495 but in general it is a great kit.

Ed, Those photos are very very good quality. Nice work. Can you tell me how I can post a photo on here? I've been trying, but no luck. Can you give me the exact format?

Thanks Greg.
To post you need to have the photos on a site that hosts photos. I use villagephotos.com . There are many. Some free, some not.
Then all you do is type [imagx] and put your photo link to the host site here and type [/imagx] Spell image correctly. I used an x so it wouldn't try to link to a photo.
Here is how I insereted one of the photos, above. Again, with "image" spelled correctly:
[imagx]http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-11/65524/AKRAB-540436310-DSCF0008y7b.jpg[/imagx]
Hope this helps.
