Title: :: Buggy Boy :: the instructions sticker!
Post by: DarthNuno on August 22, 2016, 10:08:09 PM

OK, as requested, let's scan of the instructions sticker from my Buggy Boy *triple screen*  8)

(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/buggy_boy/buggy_boy_instructions_0.jpg)

As you can see, the only way to properly scan it is ... to remove the top panel... which is fortunately quite easy : only 3 screws!  :)

Arg, too bad... the sticker is slightly bigger than my A4 scanner  :? So two passes will be needed...

But here it is :

(the big .tif file is available here (http://www.arcadelifestyle.net/buggy_boy/buggy_boy_instructions_full.tif))

As you can see, my sticker is not perfect... and you can see the 'assembling' border. Anyway it's a good start for the illustrator and other vectors softwares expert guys here!  ;)

made a start, but i really feel the urge to fix this :

after "fixing":

looking at the left side of this, it seems that the layers where shifted during printing, so i guess it should line up correctly if they silkscreended it more accurate..

so my guts say fix it, what you guys think ?

I can work with your file, but its 72 dpi...

could you rescan it in 300 ?
Or are the two scans higher res and after stitching it was 72 ?

I can stitch them myself if needed  ;)
