My idea is to automatically resize the watermark to about 50% the width of the image and the apply it.

This simple script just browse all the files in a folder, with a specific extension (ie *.jpeg, *.JPG, etc) and first read the width of the image, then resize the watermark to the correct size (50%) and then apply it, saving the new image with the same name but in a subfolder.

Please note, to work this scripts needs that you’ve installed ImageMagick and optionally Zenity and was tested with Ubuntu 11.04.

#Address of the watermark file
WATERMARK="url_to_your_watermark_file.svg"
# Check if the directory "watermarked" exists or create it.
if [ ! -e "watermarked" ]
then
mkdir watermarked
fi
#loop inside all the images in folder
for image in *.jpg *.JPG *.jpeg *.JPEG *.png *.PNG
do
if [ ! -e "$image" ] # Check if file exists.
then
continue
fi
#Retrieve size of the image and divide the lenght by 2
size=`identify -format %[fx:w/2] $image`
#Apply the watermark and create a new image in the "watermarked" subfolder
composite -gravity southeast -background none \( $WATERMARK -geometry ${size} \) ${image} watermarked/${image}
done
#If you have installed zenity, a message will popup when the process is complete
zenity --info --title "Ultramini Watermarker!" --text "Process Complete!"

If you put this script in your home_folder/.gnome2/nautilus_scripts then you can access it just right-clicking inside the folder with your images and choosing the script in the “scripts” menu

Although it is a bit too heavy, with it’s 12.7 Caliber, the DShK 1938 “Dushka” looks good to me as main weapon for this vehicle.

I’ve also added an internal rack, to hold a pair of M4 Carbines for the crew and the backpanel for the HUD Display:

Hello, some friends starts a new community at http://amss.monicavalentini.com/, go and check it out!

As soon as possible i’ll unbox them and publish a couple of pics (and start painting them, of course…)

The tires are a (unknown origin) gift from a member of my club and are a set of 8 resin armored tires, probably designed for a Humvee.

To make room for this set i’ve to lift the suspensions:

Now the Pick Up has its new set of swampy tires:

First work i want to do is opening the doors, and i choose to transform the front door lambo style and the rear door sliding style. For the front door i’ve used as reference the images from http://www.verticaldoors.com/ like this http://www.verticaldoors.com/cart/view_product_info.php?ItemID=1090.

I’m not still 100% sure about the front door, but there’s still time to choose…

First i cut out the doors using the Trumpeter Scriber:

Then, using some Plasticard Styrene Sheets i’ve build the doors interiors and simulate the armour:

I’ve insert and masked the glasses:

Ready for a fast mockup of the possible setup:

Next time the work on the suspensions!

The model is quite pretty out-of-the box, but i choose to apply some modify and transform it in something like the District9 pickup’s (more on this link: District9 pickup) or the modern all-terrain vehicles used by special forces around the world.

More to come soon…
