Who besides Martin makes the banners? The reason I ask is that I have a photo of all the Captains of the Great White Fleet that I would like made into a banner for the Dreadnought Campaign. I plan to use Garry's, but I'd like to use this one later down the road.

Let me know...I'll e-mail the photo to you...

Martin if you're back from holiday let me know if I can send it to you!


Yo ho ho nine days to go!....

Hey Stefan:

I've made several banners since my time here. If I can lend a hand just let me know. Here are a couple that I designed in the past:









Hope you like them.

Stefan,

I believe Flitzer does them as well, though right now he is on a break (work around the house).

John, If you shoot me your e-mail, I 'll send you a photo and I can send one to The Skip and we can have two more participants can choose from.

I want the one of the captains because one of them commanded the USS Kansas. Maybe I'll send a shot of the Kansas as well.

OUTSTANDING!

I love the colorized line and I really love the choice of the Captains and the one of the crew scrubbing their hammocks in front of the guns!


Beautiful!

John I have a few others if you want to get in on this.

Too cool!

Indeed I have!

As an aside, if I remember correctly, the USS Kansas is the second ship in the line.

They're great Rui!

Might I suggest one more?

Take the captains and blend them into the grayscale photo of the battleships. My rough thumb measurements show that will cover the first ship and part of the second. Thus, move the line of ships slightly to the right and blend the two photos together.

Because I am at work, don't have Paintbruch, and don't have the original separate photos, I did a quick composite done in paintbrush for visual reference. Those that have the original photos can more professionally blend them.
