Test transfer of the south west's tourist attractions. Not sure where to though...

So after hours spotting places visited on holiday and local landmarks whilst dawing up, well, typing up I suppose, the artwork for the 150, it's just about complete now. The test print is purely to check the sizing, it's done on fast draft on the inkjet, whereas the final will be ALPS printed all being well, allowing the base paint colour to show through. It shouldn't take too much work to modify it for the 153, and the good news is that it sizes up perfectly.

Also got a test print of the main logo for the mk3 done - this will be home printed on white decal paper. Gurt lush it is :lol: Again, the sizing is perfect. I can't believe how well this project is going so far, there's normal at least one cock-up in the sizing with my homebrew transfers...

Here it is at 100% in Photoshop, all taken from a photo I took of an ex works set a few years back. Proves the point that you never know what'll come in useful in future!

Next up it'll be all the small stickers; carriage letters, disabled logo, first class, carriage numbers etc

Hi Jo,

 

Coming along nicely.

 

Glad you've managed to capture all that fine detail.

Thanks Mark. The main thing for me is that it looks right and conveys the effect, so I'm well happy with it :lol:

I can't wait to see them applied!

 

One of the advantages of digital is you can take pictures of anything if only because "it may come in handy one day". No doubt you wouldn't have used the film taking that picture of the Neon Lines had you been using ye olde 35mm camera!

 

Cheers,

Yeah exactly, how many times have I fotted a wagon livery variation or similar - wouldn't dream of it with 35mm. Also with 35mm, the conversion to Photoshop would have been a bit tougher :lol:
