ChrisS Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Looks like it's coming along nicely, although I wish I could see the work a bit better. Â Are you using a digital camera? If so maybe I can pass on a couple of tips on focus and re-sizing? Let me know, I'd really like to see her in all her glory! Â Cheers~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Cochran Posted October 6, 2003 Author Share Posted October 6, 2003 any help i can get with a digital camera would help Im old school assoc.

ChrisS Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Bad news first. Â That camera has no macro function (close ups) at all. From the research Ive just done it looks like the CLOSEST you can be to subject matter that you want in focus is 4 feet. This explains a lot about the bald eagle shots as well, the back ground (about 4 feet away) is in focus while the model is not. Â Good news next: Â The camera is pretty high resolution so if you don't mind not getting shots of the cockpit or details, you should be able to take PERFECT pictures of the kit from 4 feet and crop the pictures down. In fact you can send them to Brad or I and we can crop them for you. I believe that camera has a max width of 1600 pixles and we publish at a width of 545 pixles. That leaves a lot of room to crop off the stuff that's not a plane #> Â Do me a favor please? Take a picture of Bald eagle at 4 feet out and send it to me. csherland@charter.net and I'll toy with it a bit and see if I can come up with a good method for you to get better results. Â Question about the Jug: That is the kit engine, please please tell me how you did the push rods and wiring harness! It's a snap on the Teknics, but looked like a bear on the Revell...curious minds!!! Â Cheers~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Cochran Posted October 6, 2003 Author Share Posted October 6, 2003 Thanks Chris for the info on that #$$^%^&* Digital cam and will try and get a shot or 2 more of bald eagle in to you today now for the prat #1 I used small brass wire not the smallest but the next size up (hobby shop display of brass and alum Tube) using a drill bit the same size I drilled into the push rod cover and into the engine case and pused through the case and inot the cover ,for the plug wire ring and wires the wires I used 4 strands of wire from and old est cord and twisted them together now the ring is a piece of alum tube and using a home made tubing bender I carefuly bent it to shape and drilled it for the wires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
