I would like a personalized banner for myself. I have no idea how to make one. And, I really don't have the time to figure it out. Between being active duty army, my daughter, maintaining the house and squeezing in some ocassional modelling, I just really don't have the desire to figure it out.

I would be willing to pay a reasonable rate or possibly "trade" with model kits or reference books. I would like to see some that you have previously done or you can send me a sample to look at. I must be able to take possession of the image and save it to my PC. Interested parties can contact me at:

[email protected]

I would like someone willing to work with me and "test" design ideas. I'm interested in something with a US flag in the background, the US Army emblem, POW/MIA emblem and an image of an M1 Abrams or maybe an M2 Bradley.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Hi Brent,

I'll see what I can do (no promises ) and I'll just send you the file using the e-mail you sent...

Cheers

Your offer is greatly appreciated. I hope you will let me repay you somehow. Your time and trouble is valuable and it just isn't my style to not repay someone for their effort.

I am open to ideas if mine is too complicated.

Hi Brent,

Sent you an e-mail containing the banner. I'm not sure if you will like them -- I just did them last night. BTW, you could also look at them in my gallery in the others album

Cheers

Hi Brent,

The mere fact that you liked the banner is payment enough for me


Cheers

Hi umustb,

You could actually use any graphic software. I use the Jasc Paintshop pro others use the adobe. The banner size is 468 x 60 pixels. What banner do you have in mind?

Hi Arvin... what I have in mind is a banner of a Tiger (or King Tiger) vs a Sherman, each on either sides with my callsign in the center, creating a "big boom" kinda stuff... Might be a tough one to accomplish though.. :-)
