Maybe I'd better do the Constitution I and Galor first, though. =]

Do you still have a place for your other stuff? I can't seem to get past Sci-Fi Art. I lost some of your schematics before... Posted by Eclipse (Member # 472) on :
Nimrod: In the unlikely event The Vorlon hasn't kept pristine copies of his previous masterpieces I've got 'em all in a nice chunky .zip.

Wow, does that look intimidating head on.
Looking at all the tiny window dots you get the impression how just how massive this ship was suppose to be. Until they watered it down in size to make it more even with the Galaxy-class.

More like Plastic Surgeon. I had to amputate the Warbird's ass, move it higher up, and then reattach it.
Before:
Note: this is often how diagrams start out. Lots of lines, the contrast can be horrible, depends on how good the original is when scanned, and how well it converts from colour to b&w. Yellow converts easily, red is a total pain... I fix this, remove the lines, fill in damaged areas, and sometimes missively rework sections.
Much better, no?
Posted by The Vorlon (Member # 52) on :
Although, the biggest pain by far is when you have to fix page creases, which sometimes cause a big piece of the diagram to be blurred, distorted or otherwise totally useless. In cases like that, you have to graft a new piece in by simple extrapolation. For the Saber Top view, about 1/5 of the forward saucer section was missing, and I had to replace it. The Steamrunner Bottom view, the middle of the nacelles, front of the Nav Def and front of the whole pylon structure was missing. I compensated by splicing in the same areas from the intact Top view, which was slightly different...

If the ship actually looks the way you have it, how did the original diagrammer screw it up so badly?
Posted by The Vorlon (Member # 52) on :
I'm judging it based on the ERTL model which came in the Enemy 3-piece set. It shows that the back support piece is supposed to be in line with the nacelles, not below it.

Vorlon: You have always had the best diagrams , and I always wanted to ask if I could use them as reference when doing my flash diagrams. Posted by The Vorlon (Member # 52) on :
As reference? Sure! Just don't cut and paste them. =]
Posted by bear (Member # 124) on :
No, I would trace them with flash to keep the file size as low as possible. Thanks very much Vorlon.

Adam, I share your pain. Page creases Red lines
I'd like to add Page skew Diagrams that are designed to be just a bit larger than the scan area
Posted by Black Knight (Member # 134) on :
...I'm too lazy to fix page creases, I only did the simple ones.
BTW, Adam, I look forward to your new site redesign...whenever that may be...
(BTW, this is Dark Raven of SFA, 3DG, and now LWG).
