Kit 35291, German soldiers, and 35301, British soldiers, in 1/35 scale are on your list of future releases. I build primarily WWI subjects and must convert WWII and other period figures, such as your excellent Franco-Prussian War sets, to WWI figures. Please release these kits soon!

Help! Message-ID: Good evening everyone. I would like to talk to anyone who makes his or her own decals. I would like to try to make some decals up myself using some new decal paper I purchased this past week. I need some tips on what programs to use and the best size and types of graphics' to use or make when scanning or importing for making up the decals. I also need to figure out how to size them accurately and placement on the sheet itself. I have Paint shop Pro 7 and Adobe Photo Shop 4 on my computer which should work but I would like to here how you do it yourself before I start screwing around with the good paper. Any and all tips and information are welcome as I have never used these programs before and am truly a novice at this. One other thing, I imported a graphic of an aircraft, DH.4 that had a great 1918 Marine Corps Emblem on it's side, the problem is that the picture has the flying or bracing wires diagonal through the emblem. I tried using Paint Shop Pro to remove the wires but I cannot get the edges as crisp as the emblem itself, what tools would work best in this program? Thanks again for any and all help.

Message-ID: <000901c0c239$8166db60$7f01010a@jaring.my> Jon, I'm using Adobe Photoshop 6 and Illustrator 9. To remove the wires etc., to correct a perspective etc. I import the scan, copy it to a new layer and then redo it using the polygonal and magnetic lasso and magic wand tools and the clear and fill funtions. In some instances you will have to draw your own pictures To get the best results, you might want to import the graphics into a vector graphics prgramme like Illustrator or Corel Draw. Corel Draw has the nice CorelTrace programme, which converts a bitmap into vector graphics. There's also a similar (but not so comfortable) tool from Adobe. Have it only on my PC at home and can't remember the name at this moment. As for size of graphics, this obviously depends on the original, the required up/downscaling and your printer's abilities. I use an OKI DP 5000 (equivalent to the ALPS MD 5000), so I ensure that I optimize smaller prints (like squadron insignia) for 2.400 dpi and larger areas (like a lozenge wing) for 600 dpi - printing larger areas at 2.400 dpi will ruin the OKI/ALPS printhead rather fast. As for printing, I usually go for three steps: 1. I control size etc by prinitng with a standard inkjet (to avoid the cost of the high priced ALPS cartridges) 2. When satisfied, I do a test print either on glossy white paper (if I don't include any white print area in the decal) or light blue paper (if white colour printing is included) with the ALPS 3. Only when fully satisfied will I print the decal on the coated paper. BTW, what kind of printer do you use: An OKI/ALPS?Citizen or a laser printer?

As to my printer, I am using a regular HP DeskJet printer. At this time the decals do not have to be to small as I am working on a 1/12 scale Sopwith Baby to fly R/C and have plans for a larger DH. 4 in the future. Right now I would like to get the basics down on making decals and then get a good printer when I'm ready. I have seen decals made on this Bel paper and it worked just fine with a regular Ink jet printer like my own. Also I can take the graphics on a disk to my local copy center and have them print it out with a color laser printer on my paper when I get everything right. I would really like to learn how to make up a set of decals and place them together on a sheet so as they become one sheet of graphics' and then have them printed at the copy center. I am just so new to this graphics' thing that I know almost nothing about how to go about it. Maybe I'll check the local night schools to see if they are having any classes in this area of computer work. Anyway my friend, thanks for the help. I will be looking into the Illustrator program.

Tom Morgan ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2001 22:59:41 -0500 From: "Jay M. Thompson" To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: RE: Making Decals? Help! Message-ID: Chances are the brush you're using has soft edges. I'm not sure how you set this in PSP, but in Photoshop you double-click on the brush in the Brushes palette, and there is a Hardness slider that will control how crisp the edges are. Also (again in Photoshop) if you're cleaning up an imported graphic like this, use the Rubber Stamp tool (some programs call it a cloning tool). In Photoshop, select a brush size for the Rubber Stamp, -click to set the sample location, move the cursor to where you want to remove something, and click-drag like you would with any brush. The tool will copy whatever is under the -click region to where your cursor is, and the sample area will remain relative to your cursor as you work. That's a tad hard to explain in text, but fiddle with it and it's pretty obvious. To sharpen an image, go to the Filter menu, then Sharpen->Unsharp Mask. That may not sound like a way to sharpen something, but it's a computer version of a traditional darkroom technique of the same name, used to sharpen prints. It's very effective, used judiciously. One last tip- scan at the highest resolution you have available, and then resize the resultant image down to whatever size you need. NEVER resize an image up, it results in serious nastiness. -----Original Message----- From: wwi@wwi-models.org [mailto:wwi@wwi-models.org]On Behalf Of VMA324Vagabonds@aol.com Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2001 10:09 PM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Making Decals?

Message-ID: <000901c0c240$5094d300$89371c18@tampabay.rr.com> All, For those of you that haven't yet experienced the service from NKR Models, Earl is simply amazing. I ordered 3 kits from him (Eduard Pfalz D-IIIa, Roden Gotha G2/3, and [ahem] a Mitsubishi Ki-21 'Sally') on April 5th, got an immediate ship confirmation, and they were on my doorstep in FL today! Unbelievable, especially when my mom in NY and aunt in PA sent my wife and I anniversary cards on April 5th and they arrived today as well! I have NEVER had a US dealer even come close to that, nor to his prices. The Sally is currently on sale in the latest Squadron flier for $49.96. >From Earl, the cost (including airmail) was about $23 US! NKR rules, and I am in no way affiliated with the company. What I am "steamed" about was the Pfalz - NOTHING to do with NKR. I had the original Eduard Pfalz D-III kit in which I had converted the lower wing to the rounded D-IIIa tips. An unfortunate mishap caused excessive wing warpage (it broke). Since NKR's prices are so low, I figured I'd pick up the D-IIIa kit and just use the kits rounded lower wing set. I just picked it from the catalogue listing without looking and wound up with Degelow's flying stag early D-IIIa with the pointed lower wing tips. )(*&^(!!! Anyone out there got a lower set of D-IIIa rounded tip wings they'd like to sell or trade for pointy tipped wings? I'll even throw in the kit decal sheet because I'm using an Aeromaster decal scheme for my D-IIIa.

The only difference lies in the fact that airmodel packed the resins (done for them by the guy behind Czechmaster) in sturdy boxes, whereas the Czechmasters themselves were only packed in a plastic bag.

Neil Crawford's excellent images of the Nieuport IVG in Sweden also do not show any pipeline from the rear tank (which, in addition, is not visible in the cockpit pictures, maybe because of its location under the seat).

I was talking to owner about Choroszy. They will not sell Choroszy kits anymore, There are few reasons: 1. Very slow communications with Choroszy - customers can't wait so long for their orders and reclamation 2. very low quality of kits - many missing parts. To many reclamations. He gave me example - he sent three kits of the same plane to New Zealand - customer hardly could complete one model. He is still waiting for answer from Choroszy about this and about 6 more uncomplete kits. 3. The kits are very expensive, for Salmson I can get two and half Ardpol's DH.9 which is IMO much better. They can't afford to get so many kits and "freeze" so much money. He knows very well costs of production of resin kit. Jadar makes own series (right now they prepare two Albatroses C.V and C.XV 1:72) and the Choroszy prices are much to high He told me that Choroszy's main production are Japanese aircrafts which he sells in great amounts to Japan. He isn't interested in local market, to low profits. Maybe if Choroszy change their service they would work with them. Tight now "out of sale" means no more Choroszy from Jadar. -- Witold Kozakiewicz ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2001 09:24:20 +0200 From: Crawford Neil To: "'wwi@wwi-models.org'" Subject: RE: Jadar and Choroszy Message-ID: Now I finally understand why Chorozy released so many interesting japanese kits.
