lost unit Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 I have bought the book and impressed with its footage . This project is gonna take me a bit of time guys the book is that big it wont fit on my scanner i have to do half at a time and then join them. Then the hard work of cleaning them up. The sample images took a few hours just to get them right. Any tips or help would be good at this time. Once the book is done it will be passed on too Sully to decide how he wants to show it. This book has cost me a lot of money and your getting it for free. What with a shortage of chapters to work on this is the guyver buzz i have been waiting for. After these samples no more will be uploaded so stay tuned in thanks.. 1 Quote
Matt Bellamy Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 Yep, same book I have. Same thin pages It's just a shame finding a scanner for it has proved so troubling. It's such as awkward size that most places don't have scanners big enough anymore. Quote
Gray5 Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Interesting, never heard of or seen this book. Quote

Also lost unit, you could try slipping a blank sheet of paper behind the page you're scanning? It won't help much with what's overleaf, but the page before should get blocked out. Quote
lost unit Posted January 15, 2017 Author Posted January 15, 2017 Thanks for the tip Bio-Boosted Dude i am already doing this, the sketches are printed on both sides so i am getting the opposite page burning through. The book is 14 x 10 inches and 48 pages in black and white. I have done ten of the pages so far some pages are difficult than others. 1 Quote
*guyverfan Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 i think i've got the same book, pretty sure its the same size as the laserdisc covers. you know, most new office/library fax/photo copiers that can scan A3 and A2 size have usb connection. might have to double check the one at work. Quote
lost unit Posted February 4, 2017 Author Posted February 4, 2017 thanks Guyverfan for the tip, i have finished scanning all the book and edited them front to back and passed the finished book to Sully who will manage it from his side. Its a great addition to have with some great artwork. 1 Quote
*guyverfan Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Hay, hangon a second, thought you said it was going to take you a while?....lol Nice work dude. Quote
lost unit Posted February 4, 2017 Author Posted February 4, 2017 i love doing guyver stuff it keeps the buzz going. I was doing 3 or 4 pages a day so it wasn't too bad. I am now in the process of redrawing some of the images that were less detailed and taking the captures off the film against them to get that original look. The book is put away now to keep in good condition and work off my scans. 2 Quote
