Great pic to work with, Fluff, thanks.

Every time I see a launch (and landing) I'm reminded of what an incredibly complex task is was to design, build and now launch, fly and land one of these birds. Hope we can get that program going again soon.

For the sake of expediency I'm going to cheat and link to an image I did a couple months ago based on a similar shot:

I used Mike Finn's "Effie" action. This action is available here:

I used Corel's Drawings X3, It is a program for creating stitch patterns.

Thank you palms1

Well here is my interpretation

As Peter says "not Fireball XL5 again"
I just had to have another go with Corel Draw's "Trace" then brought into Photoshop and ran a couple of actions on it and boosted colours......John
