Looking for a shipside of the RN Manxman class fast minelayer. Can't find a usable illustration online, so maybe someone else will have more luck?

I have two new requests!

This one is based on official plans for using the hull of an Iowa-class BB for carrier conversion. (Length is identical to the Iowa.)

Image

And this is the French heavy cruiser Algérie. (Length is ~600 feet.)

CHS Mod Aircraft Art Request

Post by el cid again »

I would like art for the following Japanese aircraft which may be added in the next release of CHS:

1) M6A1 (a float variation of D4Y2 for use by submarines as a bomber)

2) G8N1 (a 4 engine heavy bomber similar to B-17)

3) Ki-56 (a derivitive of Lockheed 14 or the Japanese LO transport)

4) E16A1 (a float recon plane similar to E13A1)

5) G5N2-L (an unarmed variation of the G5N1 bomber, itself a variation of
the DC-4E airliner).

6) H8K2-L (an unarmed variation of the H8K2 patrol flying boat, this is a transport)

7) Ki-34 (inspired by the DC-2)

8) Ki-102b WITH missile - a variation of the Ki-102a

CobraAus,

Thanks.

How do you reduce the image and maintain the quality?

Last night I reduced the G8N. Mine is the same size as yours. But yours looks a lot better.

I’m using PSP. I have access to PhotoShop.

hi mate I use PSP v9
1. take original and clear background to white
2. use wand to select only the art then invert
3. copy result to new image (keep as raster) and resize using weighted average
4. copy result to sky background
5. clean up pic and using white and soft light hi-lite parts of plane to stand out
