Okay..here is the deal...I need some help for the models section (yep..yet more) My scanner isn't big enough for the large Hasegawa boxes. I can scan everything else, build the pages, and take the pictures of the parts..but I can't scan the entire box art. I tried scanning it in 2 parts and joining them...but it's not working as well as I would like. I could really use some help either

A) with a good merge program (preferably freeware! )

B) some volunteers with a larger scanners to scan all the box covers for me.

How about it...any of you model builders/collectors out there want to scan some box art for me? I'd love the scans at the highest resolution you can pull off. Ill pm you my email addy if your interested and you can email me the files.

Thanks!

I should be able to help as well. I have a full size scanner, but am currently in Brussels for work, and wont be back until the 16th.

Let me know then what you need, and I'll scan what I've got (Got a few...)

Thanks

K, do you actually need the box, writing and all, or are you just looking for the cover art? Cause I have a few background sized images of a few of the boxes, mainly the VF-1 series of kits. They aren't in huge resolution, but I think they're all about 1280*1024. :)

I'm looking for the entire box, not just the art, if someone will scan them. Grayson, since you volunteered and your not in Brussels....your scanner will fit them? If so, how about doing the first 11 for me: (if you don't have any of these just do the others and let me know.)

Everyone else...I don't want to dump this all on Grayson...who has a full sized scanner and can chip in? Also, I need full model scans of the all metal and transparent ones. I don't have them, so I can't even scan the instructions/decals, and such. How about it? Volunteers for one or more kits please?

I'm sorry I can't help. . . but I would like to offer encouragment! I'm sure I'm not the only one eagerly awaiting the results of your efforts! Model box art is usually the best Macross mecha art available! I can't wait to see them!

The files are gonna be huge at the highest resolution. I'll try to get it done by Friday night.

Thanks....if you can ZIP them when you email them.

Grayson..doh! I did! Any volunteers to cover what Grayson was going to do? Anyone know any good pic merge programs? I can always do them with a seam...Ill try and keep it out of the pic...but I can't seem to get it to be perfect.

Hey Jesse, I don't have all the ones on the list for me, but lets do this:

Update this thread with what you have and what you need.

Once I get back (and verify my scanner large enough), I'll can look at the list, and scan through what I have. Then, you can keep this thread updated with what you have/what you need.

Also, I have Pictures of the stuff I have up at my website (http://chicagobrad.us).

I have quite a few models, so I can scan boxes, and instructions for what I have when I get back..

Take care, and I'll be in touch

I have the SV-51 Inanov box and instructions but the kit is already together, i think i can get it for you, if you need it.

Thanks Flash and Zeo...Ill update the list later...but for now just doing whatever you have on the list would be huge. Basically, I have most of the Hasegawa kits (just none of the transparent and metalized ones) but my scanner is too small...so I have 3 choices...1, scan the top and bottom of box and mix them together...(The problem here is I can't seem to get a perfect merge) 2 - Take a picture with my digicam. Not as good as a scan, but I have a good camera and can take a nice high res photo. 3) get someone with a bigger scanner to scan the box art. I don't mind doing the parts pics, instructions, decals etc....(though help is always nice)

Posted

I just bought a Sony DSC-P200 (7.2 mega-pixel) camera for my trip abroad, so when I get back, if my scanner can't take it, my camera sure will :)

I've got a tripod and everything, so taking nice photos should be no problem.

Maybe I'll try the same thing. My camera is only 6 MP...but if that works that would be easier then scanning!

My email program won't let me send the files because they're too big. They are about 17 to 21 MB each. Should I just burn them onto a CD and snail mail them to you? I can reduce the resolution to fit under the 10 MB limit.

Also, did you want me to scan the sides of the boxes?

Posted

Please email me all scans in HRes to Jestefarean@comcast.net

THANKS!

Okay...updating the lists a bit to balance things now that I can do this too. Gabe and Flash...if you have time to scan the instructions as well as the cover that would be a huge help to me. Ill do the decals here and crank up the res so we get the best scan possible. Pictures of the parts would also be a great help.

Okay...so GabeQ will do:

1/72 VF-1A Fighter Valkyrie

1/72 VF-1J Fighter Valkyrie

1/72 VF-1S Fighter Valkyrie

1/72 VF-1A Super Valkyrie

1/72 VF-1S Strike Valkyrie
