Moe . . . . Here are a couple of pics using the photo you sent me. I think I'll take the photo to a print shop and have it printed on a larger mat. The best I can do here is an 8.5 x 11 and that cuts off some of the photo. Thanks again for the photo its really ^&cool

Mike, you can divide that pic into parts with MS Paint, print out the pieces, and then piece them back together on your backboard.

I am not familiar with MS Paint . . . . Having trouble finding it on my computer if it even exists on it . . . . ^&confuse

I believe I have found it . . . . Never used it before so I will have to play around with it . . . . this will be a learning experience . . . .

If it's a Windows PC, it's got Paint on it. Easiest way to find it is to RIGHT CLICK on the JPG. A menu will pop up. From the menu, select OPEN WITH. A list of programs will appear, one of which is PAINT. Inside of Paint, you'd just copy half of my pic into a new file for printing. Then copy the other half into yet another file for a second print job. Put another way, what I'm suggesting is creating two graphics files out of the one that I posted above. Print them both out, and you're good to go.

What program do you normally view pics with? I ask because some of them will allow you to edit images.

Looks like we were typing on each other's post. Glad you found Paint.

I'm sure that Mike has his wallpaper put together by now. However, if anyone else is interested, I've cut the image into two parts so that it can be output on a small printer and then patched together. There may be a little work with scissors here, but nothing too severe:





There will be an overlap, but simply treat it the way that you would when hanging wallpaper in your home.

Thanks Moe for the added photos. I like the addition of the Japanese score board . . . Here's what I have been able to do so far . . . . The backdrop used in these photos is 17-inches x 11-inches splilced together . . . .

Mike, that looks terrific. You've had a look at the initial output of deck crew in Jenkins promo pics. I think that they'll look awesome with your setup. It'll be almost as though you've plugged in the sets as replacements for the Hellcat and crew that I edited out of the original image.

Thanks Moe . . . . . Still a work in progress but it's getting there . . . . Rumor has it that John will be releasing an iconic carrier plane before the Corsair. I am hoping for a Hellcat, but for some reason I have a gut feeling that its going to be a Wildcat . . . . either one would make me happy . . .

Hey Mike, I found an interesting "inspiration pic:"



And edited up a photo of a destroyer to use as the background:



What ya think?

BTW, the file hosting service reduced the size. I can get you the large version, but that really will be a job for a print shop!:wink2:

And if you need a mat for your "carriers," this outfit sells a variety of sizes in urethane:

Great photo. Love the SBD's in early war colors. Hope to see JJD do a Dauntless in these colors. -- Al

Nice photos of the time can escorts . . . . The ocean "gaming mat" is very interesting. The web site shows that it can be as big as 4' x 6' . . . . Would easily fit the table top with a little trimming. I Should be getting IWA-11, IWA-300, and IWA-400 delivered to the house on Monday or Tuesday . . . .

This afternoon JJD IWA-11 (Right Wing Man, Section 4, Fighter Squadron Six) landed on my doorstep along with SARA deck plates IWA-300 and IWA-400. The additional deck plates certainly provide a nicer display area . . . .

Really sharp looking display, Moe. RW looks very nice. My section leader due tomorrow and fingers are crossed.:wink2: -- Al

Congratulations !

That is so neat !

Thank you.

Thanks Ivanhoe . . . . It will really start getting "neat" when JJD releases the deck crew figures that service the airplanes. I have IWA-12 on order (Left Wing Man) and plan on getting another IWA-300 and IWA-400 to finish off the carrier deck display area.
