RE: Ed Kazmurski's Taurus

Found it! The article is "Rediscovering the Nixie", published Winter 1996 by the log of Mystic Seaport. Author Charlie Storrow (a friend of mine) used a perspective vanishing point projection to...

RE: Ed Kazmurski's Taurus

RE: Ed Kazmurski's Taurus

I still prefer "cover girl" - the words make me happy. What if RCM ran the article instead of MAN?

RE: Ed Kazmurski's Taurus

Duane,

RE: Ed Kazmurski's Taurus

Hi Duayne,

RE: Ed Kazmurski's Taurus

RE: Ed Kazmurski's Taurus

Regarding Post #352, I just noticed.........

RE: Ed Kazmurski's Taurus

Observing post# 207 - The first two wing shots are the same plane. The second two wing shots are of a different plane. Look at the numbers in relation to the red pinstripe.
