I see the resolution of photos pulled off of RW is quite a bit smaller than mine.  If anyone wants a larger res image (1.5 MB), send me a PM with your email address.

So it was Photoshopped Doug!   :D Superb job on both, Photoshopping and on the model!  And it also truly replicates the front facade.

BTW, my original comment on Photoshopping wasn't by any means meant as a negative or derogatory comment.  It takes talent do do a good Photoshopping job.

Does this mean that Doug wins and gets to be the new face of TRW and have said face on the browser tabs?

Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

Just because Doug was first to show does not mean that he wins. Unless it was a race.

Nice effort but some of us are still working on ours. Now all I have to do is figure out how to post to this forum.

I blame Chulvis for stirring up the dust.

I used Doug's artwork, modified the bottom half, and combined that with other images that I found to make some decals. Doug is cool if I distribute these. First 5 people who PM me their address will get a decal in the mail.

Guys, I  have 2 left.  Also, they are printed on my HP Laser.  As you can see, it does a pretty good job but some halftone pattern is visible up close.  The benefit is that they are pretty robust and don't need sealing.

By now, all who asked have a decal. Ok, maybe not the Canadian.

They are printed on the thin paper from decalpaper.com.  You first have to paint the background white, since the decal is clear. If you paint the while kinda thin and let the brick color show through, the decal will appear more aged. Transfer the decal from the water along with the backing paper, and then slide it off onto your wall. Use 2-3 applications of Solvaset and the decal will melt into the brick texture. You don't need to press it down manually.
