Zealot

My Star Wars friend's BD is approaching and like last year I have chosen a new model for him. The first plan was to make Imcold's X-Wing. The parts are printed but I won't have enough time to finish it. So I chose Julius Perdana's Snowspeeder as an alternative which you can find here.

To ensure that he can display this model together with the other planes nicely I have resized the plans to 1/32 (the original ones are 1/20). Two pages could be printed on one page which was very nice.:)

However, I encountered a tricky problem. Julius must have added a blur filter layer which could not be opened by InkScape. The texture became jagged and did not look very good. Hence I used PDFill to turn the pages into *.jpgs - with the same result! I tried Gimp and it worked finally. If you look at this picture you can cleary see what happened:

The first print is the one with the jagged texture, the second is the smooth one created with Gimp. Of course I'll be using the latter one. ;)

Stay tuned for updates! :)
