BAS · Post by **BAS** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 6:16 pm

Camo sounds good.

Hey, what are these leaves...? Wait a minute!

(Empties can of Diet Mountain Dew, takes apart a pen and gets some window screen, and, with the aid of a pocket multi-tool, makes a water pipe, and fills pipe with vodka. Takes some of the leaves and disappears down the trapdoor.)

Be back in a bit. Uh, anyone got a lighter?

(wanders back up from the trapdoor, empty bag of chips in hand)

Wow. There's quite the party going on down there!

Woah! Hey, have a good time on August 11. After that party downstairs, and the whacking Kernul gave the Apokiliptika thread while I was in it, I think I am going to head off to bed now.

Good night!

Hmmm ,so ah Ms Tuwhare, is it? there seems to be something funny about your ID,.... but ok have a beer

Hi Karine, so ah a blank replay on tcburners? had you wanted to say something?

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 8:53 pm

How much paint did it take to get the coverage you have on the base coat?

helitack · Post by **helitack** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 8:56 pm

Four cans gray primer, eight cans flat khaki. Need about four more cans of khaki and three of black if I go with tiger stripes, maybe three if I go with the pin up camo...

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 9:00 pm

how would you mask for the camo?

helitack · Post by **helitack** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 9:04 pm

Put the silhoutte on a plotter I have access to, make the image 1/3 life size, as I want the figure to be on the front doors, cut it out, tape it down, spray the paint.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 9:07 pm

sounds like a good way to go,

helitack · Post by **helitack** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 9:10 pm

This is one image I am thinking of

Then I have some photographs of someone who fits the bill very well too. Convert to silhouettes in photoshop.

SO your saying digital manipulation has its uses ,...... ( of photos of photos )

karine · Post by **karine** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 9:18 pm

Hey Heli-

Maybe for an uber contemporary version of camo, you could do a Ryan Mcginnis-like camo stencil ???

In that sense yes, as a tool to correct shitty photographic skills, no.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 9:24 pm

photo shop can tweak composition a little bit and balance color, contrast and such but no itâ€™s no replacement for a quality image shot by a person with a good eye and sense of composition

karine · Post by **karine** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 9:28 pm

Hey Zule- would it be appropriate to ask you to help me become a "spacewoman" in my avatar??? Do you have a universal helmet ???
