I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 11-Apr-16 22:26 Views : 349 Right side view of the real aircraft. Trying to emulate the large paneling surrounding the engine. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 29-Mar-16 22:50 Views : 371 About to add the British insignia. The Guillow's kit's roundels are too large and not to scale for this model. I'm going to have to carefully cutout the roundel right at the fine line. Most customized decals are generated from a computerized printer which only produces the image on paper. Therefore, the paper itself has the carrier film spread all over the sheet and each image must be cut out on it's own. Large letters and numbers shown in my previous postings, will each have to be cut out. I'm going to have them resized as they're too large for this fuselage. John Brantley does a good job at producing customized images, but needs to know the exact dimensions and letter fonts, logos, insignias and so forth. i Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 29-Mar-16 22:39 Views : 416 Applying custom decals before the rest of the stitching. A word about customized decals.... These three stripes are blank decal sheets with white color background. They were then cut into thin strips and the white colored background was allowed to slide off. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 29-Mar-16 22:37 Views : 403 Starting the long road on stitching. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Parked 29-Mar-16 22:35 Views : 351 Close up of one of the thin metal tapes in brass. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Parked 29-Mar-16 22:34 Views : 369 Very thin (I think 1/64") metal foil tape in and chrome. Almost anyone can obtain black chart tape, but not in metal finish. Again, at the specialty hair and nail stores Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Parked 29-Mar-16 22:27 Views : 373 Very small and fine tweezers for $5.00 at the hair and nail specialty store. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Parked 29-Mar-16 22:24 Views : 332 Small cutters (dice). Only five bucks at the nail and hair specialty shop. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Parked 29-Mar-16 22:23 Views : 369 Got some news to share with everyone. I use a ball point pen as my "riveter" by lightly punching on the back of glossy paper (or thin plastic sheeting) and allowing the small "bump" or rivet to show through on the top side. Went through a specialty shop for hair and nail products (Okay guys, its my wife's favorite place) and discovered a couple of small ball ends. My wife says they're used for decorating nails with dots of nail polish. I placed them next to the pen to give you some reference. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 21-Mar-16 20:13 Views : 472 End result. Looks the same as the stitching using the needle technique as seen above, but kind of "outside the box" thinking. This is going to be a long process, but hoping the end results will be worth it. Isn't that why we all build in the first place?
