Re: John Long Phaser 1 Kit Buildup plus MM P2 Restoration
UPDATE: 12/18/14:
I made some tiny fixes. Minor layout alignment issue that was bugging me, I added a copyright notice, plus I found a very small error in the Greg Jein Scale size. The links below now take you to v. 1.1.
Hey everybody!
I'm working at home till Friday 12/19, my next trip to the shop. Apart from sending out resumes and cleaning house, I've been busy in Photoshop and Illustrator. I wanted a P1 meter graphic to match the GJ phaser, which involved font customization, which got really hairy...
Not kidding.
So I decided, well, while I'm at this, why not do both the GJ and the TMOST/Finney graphic? And while I'm at it, why not the Tech Manual version too? And then I kinda got carried away...
So now, eight hours later, I've produced
a freely downloadable PDF file with all the P1 dials I had measurements for, in GJ, TMOST/Finney, and Tech Manual versions:
- The GJ
- The John Long
- The Wand Co.
- The Masterpiece Models
I did the GJ and Finney versions three ways: a white rectangle with a black border; a white strip with black bars on either side, and naked (that means just the numbers, you damn bunch o' pervs
). The Tech Manual versions I did with the meter dial border and without, which is slightly bigger to fill the dial area as much as possible.
All told, it's 32 different P1 meters.
The PDF file prints right out at 1:1 scale on any printer, and is optimized to use as little ink or toner as possible.
At the bottom, I reproduced the font I customized for the accurate original meters as well as the Microgramma clone I used for the Tech Manual versions. You can take that into Photoshop and mess with it if you're so inclined and have the skills, the time, and are a glutton for punishment.
Or you can save yourself a lot of time
and energy and just use this.
Here's a preview of the file (not actual size):
