Here are some more photos that my friend Robert Karr took during his close up study of my five-color lozenge fabric. Note the more brilliant colors that show under the flaked away now-yellowish final vanish coating applied over the clear doped fabric. The two sewn together seams are also shown.

Regards, Gary Sewall

Hello Doug Baumann,

I don't know how accurate it is, but I like Test Nr.3 the best.
I like'em all!

I'm not sure if the scale is accurately represented on my monitor, they look small to me.
A reference scale in inches/millimeters will be a must
when you have finalized your colors and patterns.

Keep up the good work!
Four color (light and dark), five color (light and dark), Daytime, Night time, Gotha,
A.E.G. Hex, Tarnstoff, Kriegsmarine, Godbrowski's? Swirl....
There may be an end to this madness!

I admire your computer skills, FOKKERJ

dear Fokker J THANKS aaaaLOT i need that!!! i hoped i was heading in the right direction all who posted helped and i mean ALL!!! THANKS MERLIN V SCMc DAN ABBOT...what is new on test 3 is ,they are all broke out or separated as a color group then put on a transparent back ground then textured with one hight light and one dark{ you know like how a figure modeler paints base color then a lighter color of the base and a darker color of the base color ..}then a happy goof up the pattern had gaps in it all a round the edges i was going to fix that, but the lozenge camo dyes mixes at all edges to make a border so i made a backgrounds of grays to see witch one i liked the best. scale!!GIPSYMOTH236Ks photo of the tape 47"or 48" then i scaled the too that width and the length fallowed but i didnt print a test page so i would bet the scale is off... i know it needs some twinking!!i am glad you liked it i have one option left make a full scale pattern and texture that then scale it down
