This one I did a print on glossy paper, distressed it a bit took a photo with my digital camera a cheap one kodak 3215 blurred it a trifle then imported it into xara and sized it. Now this was all done rather quickly no doubt if more time was taken you could achieve better results if you don't have a camera then use your scanner if you don't have either then eat cake as marie antoinette suggested when there was no bread to feed the starving masses of paris.Actually It was a french poet that originated the saying. I do go on don't I

Wow looks very convincing, great idear parahandy, works out great.

(and I wouldl ove some cake now, but my breadmachine is still
busy, and when it is done, fresh bread tastes almost as good
as cake.)

Should this thread not be somewhere else amongst the more up-to-date threads?

**-=Drifter=-** · 27 May 2006, 08:04 PM

yes, that was an excellent idea, norm. forget the plugins, print it out, crinkle it and crease it yourself

wish i had thought of that...........

Nice go Laser1. I wonder what has happened to P-40 who started the thread. I had a look at his website which is devoted to this aircraft, all very interesting. I believe his name is Brad. On his site he said that he would be away for 2 1/2 weeks in hospital for an op. so Brad if you read this get well soon.
