HERE is and idea if your a/c wing is loz is 45 degs from center line rotate this pattern 45 degs and copy past the hole thing then print it out as one long decal i wounder if this would work??? oh yea i for got about some thing i made a deck decal for my 1\337 scale SEYDLITZ AND IT TURN OUT GREAT at this rez and the beam on the model is 4 inchs and 23.625 long it took four sheets, so large decals would work

Hi Doug,

Maybe this image from Patrick would make a good study for the reverse for interiors.

The piece on the left is external, the right side isinternal.
It has less yellowing, possibly from lack of dope/varnish or age and exposure.
It has the "stained glass" look very prominently.
If I lose this it's because of a scheduled power outage.

I will close as the time approaches fast!

I have asked on another thread about the "stained glass" look, I don't believe that there was an answer. That image was off of ebay and I had never noticed this effect before.

yes FOKKER J i was looking at that. funny how on the reverse side tracing is bolder.i am thanking and that could get me in to trouble..lol lol is that the dyes are more wet at the over lap because it is hit twice and soak through i wounder if thay had a steam hot plate 60 inchs wide and 40 feet long to dry it like thay use at a corgator board {card board} factory before its roll up???

. just a though THANKS FOKKERJ Doug thats why i did the tracing

Hi Doug,

If you want, you can use this file to make losenge pattern in resolution good to print. You can change colours, add some noise, repeat this section, and scale down for scales 1/48 and 1/72.

wojtek_fajga,

Thanks for posting this.

What scale is this lozenge in now? I wish to scale it up to 1/12th scale.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi wojtek,

There are some problems with your pattern:

The colors on the left edge should be lavender and blue.
There should be a dark blue-green triangle between the tan and green on the right edge.
The top and bottom of the pattern do not match up. I needed to leave a gap of two pixels and fill it in to get proper alignment.
Some of the colors need to be adjusted, especially the violet which is too saturated.

You saved this a JPG. JPG compression changes the image, producing artifacts near edges. It works well for photos, but is not the best choice for most grahics. For low color graphics like this PNG's give good compression without changing the image. This makes it easier to work with.

As Dave noted you did not give a scale. I calculate it as 1/19.93 at 300 dpi.

Dave,

1350 mm (the width of the fabric) at 1/12 scale and 300 dpi is 1329 pixels (the width of the scale image).
