Wing struts fitted...Rotunda waits for the epoxy to set! |

Upper wing is positioned on the cabane struts. Now I must fit the wing struts. |

Two pair of long rigging wires are needed for each pair of wings, but only after the wings are attached. |

After Xmas din-din, I started the rigging. The son gave me a new Sony digi for Xmas, my first attempt at its use. |

| Masking tape, straight-edge and a set of dividers worked for me. Nice job. |

Moos...you were correct , the lines make a difference, now I wish I did this to the Mig. |
| John M Oshust, Image # 5453 | 25 Dec 07 14:54 |
Now that the panel line challege is past , I may fit the upper wing. |
| John M Oshust, Image # 5452 | 25 Dec 07 14:53 |
Tried my hand at panel lines...Moos, poppy, DD...how did I do? |

jedi helped me solve my supply needs. All I need to get is some white decal paper. This size is perfect! |

| Sorry for the double post, not sure how that happened. Maybe James can delete it. |

| The way I do it is to use the "Snapshot Tool" in Adobe Reader to copy the decal then paste it into a photo editing program. Some people can afford Photoshop, but I like GIMP as it is free and works on Linux, Mac, and the Windows virus suite.
Use your favorite photo editing software to scale the image to the size you need. Print the scaled image in grayscale to double check the size and then print color when you are satisfied with the scaled decal.
When saving your decals I suggest a lossless format such as PNG. The JPG format is great for making a small file, but each time you edit the file and save it you lose picture quality (much like copying a VHS tape). |
