Message-ID: <38E7566A.51B99860@bellsouth.net> Hi All, So yesterday, when I was at the hobby shop acclimating young prince Harry to the pleasures of polystyrene, I picked up my copy of Cockpit Profiles #1 from Flugzeug Publikations(how Kafkaesque). This is a great book. Chock full of really good cockpit photos of all sorts of OT aircraft. The cover has a color picture of an Etrich Taube office. Other cockpits featured some D-VII's, an Oefag D-III, some Halberstadts, Fok.E-III, AEG G-IV, Aviatic C-1, Aviatic Eindecker, Dorner Eindecker, Fok.Dr.1, Gotha G-1 nose gunner's office, HB C-1, HB W-13, W-29(same picture as in the DF), Hubner Eindecker, Junkers D-1, LVG C-IV, Otto Doppledecker, Rumpler C-I and C-IV, Zeppelin Stakken, and a bunch of Deutsche `tweeners. All in all, a great deal for $14.95US. Run, don't walk, to your nearest hobby shop and get one of these. You won't be disappointed. I just wish I could read Deutsche. E. btw, I bought YPH a 1/4" acid brush. It's what he wanted. Don't know why. But for twenty cents, how could I refuse. It was either the acid brush, or a roll of Monokote he had his eye on. And I'm just not ready to teach him how to use the iron. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 2 Apr 2000 10:33:54 -0400 From: "Brad Gossen" To: Subject: Re: CDL-less in St. John's Message-ID: <00c701bf9cb0$79d2d2a0$6c8c5ad1@The_Grenade.Workgroup> Mark Move to Toronto where little pots of CDL grow on trees, PC10 flows in the rivers (at least it sure looks like PC10) and all the many shades of Richthofen Red are sold at The Beer Store (for your convenience).

Hot damn - why didn't I think of that.......*print* at 1/72 or 1/48 !! Here's why. Scanner is maybe A4 size - we'll use that for an example A4 is 210mm x 298mm so we have scanned a 1:1 piece of woodgrain of that size So reducing the 1:1 scan gives you a decal 3mm x 4.1mm in 1/72 scale or 4.4mm x 6.2mm in 1/48 scale. Even an A3 scanner will only produce decals twice that size. .....a little too small to be usefull IMHO Shane ************************************************************** The information contained in this E-Mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).

(The List Goddess is even one of the people who have worked on the project) This is not an original D.VII, it is one of the Ranger-powered D.VIIs used in "The Blye Max," and is being restored to look right - my writing partner Ken Goldman has built a beauitful wooden radiator for it, and will be involved in building a wooden replica Mercedes engine. Yesterday, Ed Maloney asked me if I would get markings information for him. He has access to someone making 1:1 printed lozenge fabric, and is interested in doing Udet's airplane. He was describing what they were going to do, and was describing one of the many inaccurate schemes (red and white stripes on both sides of the upper wing). I told him I would get him accurate markings info on Udet's airplane. Thus, this post: What is needed is a color three-view of the airplane, based on the most-recent best-guess information. So, where is this? I am certain one or more of the experten here can point it out and likely provide it. Contact me off-list with the information. There's every likelihood that, with this information, the airplane will be ready for display by the end of the year.

It strikes me as pretty complete. It contains a very detailed engine, and lots of other small parts, even turnbuckles and wire for rigging. Of ocurse, there is no "skin" on it, just the frame, but you could always cover it if you wanted to. I'm considering covering one half of it, and leaving the other half uncovered to show the detail.

The printer, unlike the silk screen process, lays down a pattern of dots of only four colors, cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. (Yes, it will print white, but, white is not used as part of the mix for colors) All colors are printed as a mix of these basic ingredients. Tans, oranges, flesh tones and the like are particularly difficult to reproduce. Add then the problem that ALPS prints blocks of non primary colors with an ordered dither (where you can see a waffle pattern in the colors), and the problem where for small areas of color, there just isn't enough area to put all the dots necessary to indicate the required color, it can't be done I tells ya.

The decals would "wrinkle up" when I applied the Solvaset, but they would never fully lay back down, so I ended up with these wrinkly decals that never fully responded no matter what I did.
