                  I've tried many times to get an 'authentic' old war time colour film feel to some of my model pics. I stumbled on this one by accident. Whilst turning these pics to B & W to compare against the war time image I was asked for the model's colour pic. Not wanting to publish the original due to an upcoming competition I figured why not use an app to 'colour' it in again.

                  Excuse some very odd colours in places, it is just a free phone app after all (of which there are many) but I think the process works better than any of the 'filters' I have found so far. What do you think?

                  And my B & W pics also colourised with the same free App
