I think that this will be a very effective backdrop. This section is 8 feet long. It will be behind the 4 foot artillery module I have plus one under development to the right of it that will have casualties. The Casualties will be under the caption and poppies. Thank you so much Rob.

I will post some bigger photos and progress shots of the other sections when I get access to my server again. I'm hoping it will be later today. Take care, Rob.

Country: USA | Posts: 4076 robchant Fireman Premium Member Posted - 07/18/2020 :  09:41:34 AM     Hi Carl, It was hand drawn in Photoshop. Take care, Rob. Country: Canada | Posts: 1208 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 07/19/2020 :  01:52:59 AM     very nice backdrop. Will set the mood perfectly.

Country: USA | Posts: 190 robchant Fireman Premium Member Posted - 07/19/2020 :  2:48:28 PM     Rob, Frank, Bill, & Kevin: Thanks for the kind words! The backdrop has gone thru a lot of changes and improvements since Larry posted that rough draft. However, I still can't access my server yet, so it might be another day or two before I can post some bigger photos. Take care, Rob. Country: Canada | Posts: 1208 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 07/19/2020 :  3:46:20 PM     You will all be shocked when you see the latest version. I am tickeled beyond belief with Rob's efforts. Country: USA | Posts: 11875 robchant Fireman Premium Member Posted - 07/20/2020 :  06:29:06 AM     Hi All, Finally got my server back up, so here are some bigger photos of the backdrop. Fullsize (20-inch by 20-foot): Cut in Five Sections (20-inch by 48-inch): Bridge Module: Artillery Module: Memorial Module: Roadway Module: Bombed-out City Module: Take care, Rob.

What's the resolution of the backdrop? Can I suggest tryin an experiment. The sky has a great hazy look to it with its subtle gradiation. What do you think about making a copy of the mural and applying just a little gaussian blur to everything so the trees, demolished buildings and distant hills have just a little less sharp edges? Then compare the two to see which effect looks better overall.

Just MHO but the gradiation makes my eyes try to focus and it doesn't work. Nothing personnel Bill, just MHO.
