Sorry i can't help. But here is a link to what i did. http://members.cox.net/focuzdsvt/page%203.htm not bad man.. do you have any pics of the blue with the electrical tape? what didn't you like about that? Sharpening_Beneath 03-18-2004, 01:06 PM what do you mean?? ataris_kid 03-18-2004, 03:07 PM Originally posted by focuzdSVT I tried the blue electrical tape on the background after I sanded the green off(as in the other directions) I did not like it. So I got a piece of blue celophane and cut it out in the shape/size of the background, then I put the tape on that. i was just wondering why he chose the blue celophane as opposed to the elec. tape Sharpening_Beneath 03-18-2004, 04:10 PM the electric tape is think and too dark, not a lot of light gets through... Sharpening_Beneath 03-18-2004, 04:10 PM thick...not think... ataris_kid 03-18-2004, 04:59 PM Originally posted by Sharpening_Beneath the electric tape is think and too dark, not a lot of light gets through... yeah that's what i originally figured, but i've seen a lot of walkthroughs that say to use the blue electric tape. meh. focuzdSVT 03-18-2004, 05:21 PM Actually with just the elec tape it was too bright and I could see the light bulb when it was on. The celophane did the trick. I first tried the tape with the orig backgrnd - then just celophane(different layers) - then with a piece of paper that wasn't as thick as the orig bkgrnd - tape only then the tape + celophane. Was a pain in the a$$ to try all those but glad I did, I like how it turned out, even though it is a tad dark during the day. | |
