I'm waiting on the lozenge decals I ordered. Most sub assemblies have been painted. Will post shortly.

Finished applying the lozenge camo decals. Tougher than I thought. The color in the photo is a bit too vivid.

  Mario,
Outstanding decal work on your lozenge my friend. I agree the color is a bit vidid but none the less well done. I wonder if your photograph your work in natural light if your colors would be truer to life though. What brand of Lozenge did you use?Looking forward to seeing what's next.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

HAPPY NEW YEAR to You and Yours

Gregory,

Decals are Techmod bought from Squadron. The settings on my camera are set to Vivid and the Saturation has been pushed to the max. I believe that's why the colors aren't truer. Also, the size of the original jpg was huge, I downsized it through a web image resizer. Not really happy with those results. Any suggestions so I don't push the file limit size?

There are a million ways to do this. Depends a bit I suppose on what you are using for an image host. I settled on Photobucket because I like their mobile software better than Picasa or Fickr; your mileage may differ.  I am pretty happy with the conversion performed by the iPhoto > Photobucket plugin (Mac). Uploads and squishes in one step. Same goes for the Photobucket iPad app, which I use as well, depending on what I am doing at the moment... Somebody else may advise on what to use with other platforms...
