I printed on normal decal paper, I got a roll for $1. The Bubblejet printed onto it fine, I had to hand feed the decal paper in though. Text is fine on the Bubblejet as well if the graphic is not anti-aliased. The small kangaroo figure had problems because of the anti-aliasing, at 320 dpi the Bubblejet just couldnt get the clarity. What dpi do the folks with Alps printers print at? cam AFC - http://members.xoom.com/PointCook/index.htm ______________________________________________________________ Get Your Free E-mail and Homepage at http://www.prontomail.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2000 21:17:25 -0400 From: "Steve Bucher" To: Subject: BE2a site changes Message-ID: <000801bfed31$45916480$f4e49ed1@oemcomputer> This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0005_01BFED0F.BDA59120 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, I've made some changes on the site, New lower prices and the = addition of the BE2 kit in 1/72nd scale. 1/32nd to follow.

Going by the name "tech support" as opposed to SWMBO. I am the one who keeps the computer and the ADSL connection up to par. I model science fiction models and modern aircraft. The SR-71 being a particular favorite. I am also working on a quilt (sewing being a woman thing) with the patches of material being in the german five color lozenge (naval, I think) pattern. My scale preferences are 1/48 or higher. I have to be able to see it in order to paint it. (groan) In regards to sneaking models in the house. My husband has never had to resort to this. As long as the bills are paid, he can buy whatever he wants. He makes the majority of the money in the house, and I figure he is entitled to. He takes care of me and our daughter and is loyal and loving. I cannot ask for more. As to any of the wives who do not understand or share the modeling endeavor, look at it this way.......your man is home doing a hobby as opposed to spending the money elsewhere such as a bar or other areas.

Cute little kit. Comparing the sprues with Ivan's scans at Silverbird, it looks like the fuselage/tail/cowl sprue is a copy of the DR1. Of course, the second sprue contains all the mini-D VII look-alike stuff. The instructions have markings for three aircraft. Unfortunately, mine didn't have any decals. That's not too bad, I can reproduce the unspectacular (and rather pedestrian) markings from my ample supply of spare decals. However, I was disappointed because I wanted to see how Roden approached decals vis-a-vis TOKO. Got the Heinkle, too. Man-o-man what detail. This is good news for the 'tweeners.

The main advantage of the ALPS over the inkjet printers (if you can get them to stick to the sheet) is the ability to print white ink. I printed out some Nungesser skulls in 1/48 scale to replace the ones in the Eduard N. 17 and they came out ok - but a little bit spotty - too big a dot pattern and it prints at 600 dpi. I will have to learn to do layers in my graphics files to do 2 color work, but once I figure out how to do that I should get better results. Only problem is that it appears the ALPS printers are discontinued in the US. Toner & supplies are still readily available from several sources.

I snooped around on the Alps site and wasn't able to learn much. From a modeling perspective, I'd love the capability to produce sharp decals, but I don't want their top-of-the-line printer if their lower-end machine will do the job. Would those of you that own one of these please share your wisdom? >TIA- >Ken > >>>> huggins1@swbell.net 07/13/00 11:30AM >>> >FYI, You will have problems finding a print shop that will run decal >paper.

I sent a letter to Dan San Abbott, and he was kind enough to reply with the following info:"I don't think the wings were overpainted. The Prince was in a Fl. Abt. and at that time the Jastas were not overpainting their aircraft to any extent." He also said that he had a photo of this aircraft, but spent 4 hours searching for it and could not find it. This will allow me to model this aircraft with an overall light green fuselage and olive/red brown wings. (he states some D.1's were 2 color uppersurfaces & some were 3 color with a pale green added, but I am not sure which would work for this plane. I will go with the 2 color to allow the light green fuselage to contrast with the wings. Once again some helpful information from one of the best sources for WW1 German color & marking information. For those who have not dealt with Dan, he offers a catalog of over 800 drawings including 80 in color of German fighters. He is also happy to answer any questions about his drawings that you may send him. His catalog is currently $9.00 via airmail and he can be contacted at: Dan-San Abbott 1800 Stone Cress Court Ceres, CA 95307 USA phone: (209) 537-0422 Just a satisfied customer, Dave Calhoun ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 2464 **********************
