948.0. "help digitizing?" by NAC::VISSER () Mon Dec 07 1987 11:44

    Could someone with a digitizing setup please digitize something
    for me?  I'm restoring an old airplane, and I'd like to re-make the
    dial facces on the airspeed and tachometer instruments, and perhaps
    others.  I'll probably do it by metal etching or silkscreen, but
    in either case I need a negative to start with.  The Amiga is a
    great "airbrush" tool to clean up the image before making the negative.
    The touch-up will probably be done with D-Paint or an equivalent
    program.  Then the image can be converted using claz, and printed
    on an LN03 onto clear, dimensionally stable stock such as 4 mil
    mylar.  That's the negative.  I'll use photo resist for the etch
    process, don't know about silkscreening yet.
    
    Anyway, I nedd these dial faces digitized.  I'd like to participate,
    if someone local to me would be so kind to accomadate me.  I work
    in LKG in Littleton, Ma., and live in Wakefield (near Lynnfield,
    Reading, Stoneham, Wilmington, etc.).  Thyanks much.

    	I'm not very close but I will help. I work and live in
    Shrewsbury and I have a digitizing setup.

    I live in Nashua if you wanna setup some time.

    Thanks all, I got it done.  Unfortunately, the resolution isn't
    sufficient for what I want.  I'll probably generate a new dial using
    a cad program, and then print it at 4X for photo reduction.

    What about just taking a photo of it and having it enlarged/reduced?

    re.: .4
    	I forgot to tell you I was lazy.  No, really, I want to avoid
    having to re-touch the resulting negative, something at wich I have
    no experience.  The problem in the first place are the blemishes
    on the dial face.
