Well, specifically I'm working on modeling the stickers from set 0375 (Fort with
Knights aka the Yellow Castle), in particular the shield and vest stickers. But
since I do not own an actual copy of set 0375, I can't measure the actual
stickers. I have jpg scan copies of one sticker sheet example, but I can't tell
how big the stickers would be compared to the surface they are to stick to
(since the scans are high resolution, they do not print out at "actual size").
Can anyone out there provide actual measurements of the stickers from this set?


p.s: I do have a couple shields with original stickers still attached, but there
are differences in the sticker's sizes as well as in the colors (apparently
there have been a few printing differences in the stickers for this set).

hi mark,

I've never got reply when I sent you the scan of my stickers (suppose the mail
has been eaten up by some spam filter) and therefore I'll post the link her:

I also measured the stickers (though they are not in the best shape :-( and I've
got an average width of 14.7 mm. using paul's LCad calculator you'll get 37.039
LDU. I suggest rounding the stickers to 37 LDU.

bye, w.

(...) In this case, I think you should make them the same size as the shield, armor, or flag face. -ORion (19 years ago, 6-Sep-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
