That is going into the calender project file. We just might find a place for that. |

Location: NJ | The pic was taken while standing on a chair, holding the camera up over my head, and shooting down onto a print that was rolled out onto a conference table up in Engineering. The pic's not all that great. I tweaked the B&C and enhanced it a bit in PhotoShop and resized it to make it "postable".
I've received several e-mail requests for a hi-res file.
Sorry, but (for now) this will have to suffice.
"First Dibs" on the hi-res files will have to go to Messrs. Pepiak & Kummer for their respective future publications.
Darren in Engineering entrusted Al and myself each a copy of this for possible enhancement. I'm researching having having a wide-format scan made (it's a "D"-size drawing) and digitally enhancing it. If that doesn't garner anything acceptable, I may just throw a piece of vellum over it and re-ink a new one by hand.
Sorry, but for now, the PeckingOrder is gonna have to be Darren, Al and Timm . . . but once they've gotten what they need and give the "go ahead", I'm sure we can make this into something really cool . . .

Will it involve crayons? I'm really good with washable markers, too. Ooh, I just had a brilliant idea!! We can make it look like that 'eek' O from feeBay!! |

Location: NJ | Got a phone call yesterday from one of the local EquipmentSuppliers/ServiceBureaus advising me of their upcoming annual "OpenHouse" at the end of the month . . .
One of the things they'll be demo-ing/hawking will be . . . . WideFormat Scanners!!!
I explained to the guy that I had a little personal "pet" project, and what I'd like to accomplish, and he said "Sure! . . . bring it on DOWN!!"
Basically, what I think he'll be able to do (gratis . . or somewhat CLOSE to it) is scan the best possible copy of this print I can get into a HUGE .tif file onto a CD that I'll be able to clean/tweak in Pshop. . .
Ultimately, what I would've LIKED to have had done was have it scanned into an AutoCAD file, but they'd have to send it out, and it'd cost some $$. He said he MAY be able to determine "how much" when I bring it down for the initial scanning. If it's not exhorbitant, I may have 'im do it . . .
I've been able to make some 1:1 size copies here, tweaking the darkness/contrast with "limited" success, but any/all changes are wholesale ones made throughout the image . . . being able to do specific tasks to specific areas at a time, should yield better results.
Will apprize you of updates as they become available.
This is kinda' like working on the Adamas equivalent of the Shroud of Turin . . . ;) |

Location: Anchorage, Alaska | I've got a large format color scanner at work I can do up to 36" wide if you want to send it up here. I can save it in pretty much any format we want. |

If you can send me a nice tif I would be happy trace it in illustrator. I used to do tech illustration at Lockheed Martin (on a drawing board no less!), and this would be more fun to do that most of the tanks, and missiles I used to draw!
Let me know.

Location: NJ | Yeah, I was thinking of doing the same (Illustrator) . . .
Let's see what happens after the UpperEchelon EndUsers are done with it . . . |
