The most time consuming thing about producing graphics, is when you have to draw an image from scratch.
There's no fun in this, you generally don't get paid for it, however, knowing you made a fellow modeler's airplane look great, makes up for all this. Yea right!
I was provided with a photo copy of art for this bird, the Phoenix. The art was poor, as usual, but I did get through it.
Two hours later, yes I know, you can do plenty of building in two hours, the bird is completed.
In some cases, details can be left out without taking much away from the original image.
Now this drawing was duplicated with my soft ware program, but in all honesty, it could have been traced and cut in vinyl by hand. Probably in the same amount of time.
The greatest advantage, with the drawing programs is, I now have this art stored. I can bring it up and make as many as I like.
The Phoenix will be 12" tall.
I'll be cutting and laminating this vinyl set vinyl next, the easy part.
