Baxterianism Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Hi everyone, I wondered if anyone was able to provide me with the image that you stick on the sight when converting a Hasbro blaster to something more accurate. Ive seen a few people do this and I think it adds to the look. Quote

johnnymac Posted April 7, 2009 Report Posted April 7, 2009 These look great! I can't seem to get the red and white one to open properly in MS Paint so that I can print it. Any way that you can post the red and white version as a .jpg? Thanks so much! Quote
synaptyx Posted April 7, 2009 Report Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) That one is a transparent png, mate. probably why paint doesn't like it. Here's a red/white jpg. Edited March 25, 2021 by gmrhodes13 photos updated gmrhodes13 2021 Quote
Null 13 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Posted April 7, 2009 Yay i now have something to put on the plastic lense thingys for my e-11 Quote
Drantis Posted April 7, 2009 Report Posted April 7, 2009 Thanks for those. I was just getting ready to look for some Quote
Werstrooper Posted April 7, 2009 Report Posted April 7, 2009 WOW! those are great! Can't wait to see what they look like in my scope ;-) awesome stuff mate Quote
johnnymac Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 Quick question, what program are you using to print these out. When I open the .png in ms paint, the image is not in a compatible format. If I open it in Office Picture Manager, it looks great, but when I try to print it, it gets resized to GIANT size. What am I doing wrong? I'm fairly embarrased since I my day job is working with computers..... just not good with image related stuff. Thanks. I tried opening it up in Explorer, but it doesn't print as well as it looks on the screen... and it's pretty large. What is the best way to get this graphic to be the correct size to use on an M38 scope? Thanks! Quote
synaptyx Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 Cheers guys! John, you need to print at 300dpi, or they'll be huge. try printing with http://www.getpaint.net/download.html Quote
johnnymac Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 Cheers guys! John, you need to print at 300dpi, or they'll be huge. try printing with http://www.getpaint.net/download.html I guess that I'm indeed, silly. Everytime I try to print this awesome image, it opens up the "Windows Photo Printing Wizard" and resizes the graphic. Argh! What am I doing wrong. I'm even trying to print it using the paint.net application and I'm still not having any luck. Please help... :-) Quote
synaptyx Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 Aw crud. I just realised that paint.net uses that useless printing wizard. Sorry, mate. Try this: http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ download and install gimp. Open the image with gimp. Go File>Print then click the Image Settings tab and change the X Resolution box to 300, then click in the Y Resolution box, it should change automatically. You should see the size change in the preview on the right. Click the general tab and go through the printing process from there. HTH! Quote
Null 13 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 ok so anyone know best way to get this printed out to transfer to the sight or would printing them on like clear sheets work better? I can't remember the name of the things so yea Quote
synaptyx Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 Inkjet transparencies for overhead projectors is what you want. Quote

Null 13 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 yea i believe thats the name of them I need to find a small privatly owned office supply store to buy a couple of sheets instead of paying $60 for like 50 sheets Quote
synaptyx Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 You should be able to get small quantities on the bay of fleas. Quote
johnnymac Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 What I have done in the past with my Boba armor is print it out how you like it on paper, then take it to a printing shop like OfficeMax or Kinkos and have them color copy it onto a tranparency. Usually only costs a dollar or two. The more that you put on one sheet, the more you get!!! Quote
johnnymac Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 Anyone have any advice on how to adhere the transparancies to the scope? I'm going to be adding this to a real m38a2 scope so i would prefer not glueing it. Do they make transparancies that have adhesive on one side ---like a sticker? Quote
TK8114[TK] Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 Well it doesn't look like Office Depot or Max sell these any longer but Avery still makes them. You might like this: http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Products/...duct%20Number|1 Quote
