B-17 3d

[jwhllh55]

Ok, everyone of you 3Der's I need help with a image. It's a B-17 in flight. I tried gray scale and black and white and the carving is just junk.
Can someone tell me how to make it a good clean 3d image to carve? Or is there a company that can convert it to what I want?
It will be for a reunion of the 487th Heavy Bomb Wing in Oct.
I have enclosed an image of a B-17, but it isn't a great picture.
Help please...:roll:

John,
Ya, that's better.. I like it. How did you get the plane to look good in 3d?
Is there a program you ran?
Thanks, for the help..

Are you saying you can import a photograph into SketchUp and turn it into a 3d image?

Here is what I would like to carve, however, I will be using very expensive wood and I don't want to make a mistake. Look at this and tell me if it will carve right?

I'm sorry to say this but it looked all wrong and you will wasted your expensive piece of wood if you do the carve.
I can help with the pattern but it will take a while. It is time consuming to make a true relief pattern, it's not that simple like convert or import to any program.

Well, What would it cost to get you to fix the exact B-17 I have in the MPC below? I have till OCT of this year..
It really needs to be first class.. I don't want it to look like a mess.
Thanks.

Are you wanting to using the graphic you posted? If so, email me the original and I'll take a look at it. Also include the finished size you want as well as the depth desired.

Ok Rob,
I eamiled you a note and yes I looked at the models.. They are really costly. However, I didn't see where they had png files. They had everything else, but not files that I can use on the CW..
Let me know what you have found out..
Thanks,

I'm really looking forward to seeing what he can do. The men and woman that served during WWII will see the caring and effort put into this plaque.
Thanks to all that has helped..

Well, I have talked to a couple of people about the B-17 and so far no one has come up with a good model.
So, I think I'll go and buy a model airplane and see if the probe can copy it. That might work.
Any advice?
Thanks,
John

have you thought about maybe getting a good black and white photo and making a litho?

you could do additonal lettering around the picture and make a nice box for it

my lithos get way more "wows" and my carvings do

just a thought

Very nicely done HT. I am curious how long it took you to model that?
