Hi Poll
I can't believe I have not seen this thread before, with so many hits, but I must say I am glad you tackled it and not me ;)
You have made a fantastic job of it 8) No wonder we haven't seen much of you lately on the other threads, considering the effort you must have put in on this one :)
I'm gob smacked at your restoration :o

Thanks Mudge ... AW have you missed me ??    ;D ;D ;D   I  think I  must have been quite mad to do this .. The large version is a ginormous 19 mbs ... for a print 12 inches by 4 ! As for Scrimnet ...  I dont have any problem with what he posted  but thanks for being gallant  ;)... ...it's all information we all learn from ... and in the end I did want it to look as real  I want to as possible .. Trouble is my colour co ordination tends to revolve round clothes and Interior design ...old planes colours  are pretty low on my list of things I 'm  famililiar with !!  I have a feeling though that I could get addicted to  old soldiers !! ;) ;D ;D

Poll, we've all missed you - wondered if you were away somewhere.
Goodness you must have worked so hard on this one - what a transformation!
Nice to see you back, Poll.
Take care,
 Paulene :)

Hi Paulene !! I think that's the longest time I have spent on a photo ... I must have taken 150 hours to do it ... but  then I am very patient when it comes to this sort of work and I have thetime being a retired ol' grannie ...  ;D ;D D ...  Nice to know I have been missed ...  ;)

Absolutely stunning Poll.

Awesome indeed. What a monumental piece of restoration

George.
Scan at 300 plus for restores please. Scan at larger dpi for small photos. Don't forget to crop the scanner bed out! (Them's the white bits)
Please feel free to alter any work by me for the benefit of the Poster.

I'll say! Well done indeed...unbelievable in fact! Absolutely amazing.

Are your eyes twirling in little circles, Poll? That's enough for now...I don't want to see you doing another restore for a week. Rest your eyes, sweetie! Do some gardening, go shopping...take a break :D Go to the seaside and sit on the beach with a hankie on your head and a bottle of Newcastle Brown ;D ;D ;D

Cheers Poll...and again, well done!
