Lozenge decal test it for all

[RAF_Loke]

Came across this topic WW1 Camouflage - Page 3 - World War II Zone Forums today, might be something you can use

And here Simmers Paint Shop Forums - Downloads - World War I colors you can download a template for photoshop which contains WW1 colours and Lozenge patterns.

Cheers

Hi Doug,

Our esteemed Historian Dan-San swears by the 5 degree slant from his observations of his research, but I believe that it would be a good idea to plan on making up two styles of the printed, one at 5 degrees and one at ZERO! That way the individual can make a choice of which camp they want to support. We don't want to waste time here debating this subject as it is better discussed elsewhere.
Also we need a third size at ZERO degrees for the larger "Hand Painted" that preceded the "Printed". That has nothing to do with the inconsitent size that I pointed out previously.

That is one for "Hand Painted",
One for the first "Printed Linen" at 5 degrees,
One at ZERO degrees for the first "Printed Linen",
And one for????

Does this make sense to you?

Thanks, Jay

P.S. Don't forget that the "Hand Painted" is at ZERO degrees!

With out a calculator, I think that "Painted 150mm x 300mm"
would equal about 6" x 12".

That sounds big! Off the top of my head 1mm = 0.040" (close enough for Horseshoes....and "Old Ladies"! : )
