Thought I would try another - this is after about 15 mins work...... having problems getting decent frames to appear around the images...

Your shots look really good my friend http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif

For a wide variety of photo frames I would recommend you get Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo x2 if you are able.

There are also free programmes out there such as Gimp, Irfanview etc. which generally have smaller selections to choose from.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

I've uploaded a replacement for the 'on bridge' screenshot above and the 'Torpedo Attack' on the previous page - the pic now shows some repaired damage - much better than the earlier one! Here's another one just finished:

In September 1941 he left U-46, and took over the U-567, wich was sunk 21 December, 1941, with all hands lost....
