1/48 Tanks
Permalink   

Hello there,

I joined the forum after chancing across the site. I "dabble" in papercraft in between writing and 3d art.
Anyhow, long story short, as I have photoshop an can "edit" pdfs I decided to convert some of Wayne's models to 1/48.
Would they be of any use to anyone. I realise there are 1/50 variants but wanted to make them to a standard scale.
So far I've done all the Mk1 tanks.

Steve,

I would like to see your scale-ups of my models.  I welcome others to re-scale or re-color them.  

As I have gotten older, I realized that 1/48 was more practical than 1/72.  All my recent models have been in the larger scale, and I am currently re-doing my MkIV to 1/48 scale.  I will resist going to 1/50, too.

Regards,

Wayne

I kept the 7" by 9" framing so they are slightly inefficient on the card usage but I have done the Grey Mk1, Chablis and CremeDeMenthe.
I have some arthritis in my hands so cutting out the tail unit was problematic. Other than that the scaling in photoshop was easy at 150%, and then as with the 1/50 models I had to split off part of the inner hull.
I did the join under the raised "driver" part. So it is hidden.
The only issue with photoshop editing of pdfs is you have to save one page at a time and also the pdfs tend to save a larger file size.


Whilst it would take time to do the lot! I could add them over time, as I Really fancy editing the Mk IV Generic and turning it into the Guy Martin, replica "Deborah II"

There seems to be a colour mismatch between the track frames and the hull both in Creme de Menthe and the Grey version on Mac OS X 10.12

I know this isn't present in the original 1:72 because I've rescaled these to 1:50 in the past.

I can add your 1:48 versions to the Landships II downloads with attribution for the rescale - please PM me the name you'd like to be known as on Landships II.

The page sizing is important for most of the world since we use A4 paper size - 7*9 will fit both paper standards.

Regards,

Charlie

I did notice the colour shift - don't know how it happens but suspect its because I'm editing it not in the original native program.
Weird thing is it only occurs on that.
Let me have a play with the gamma and see if I can fix it before release.
I just converted the Mk II and Mk III to 1/48 and they seem OK

I think I'm fixing the problem.
I suspect now that in between converting the parts I managed to hit a short cut in photoshop that affected the earlier layers and not the later ones!
