Semroc Saturn 1B, Build, OOP #KS-1, Part 14, Escape Tower Decals
The paper cone wrap was opened, traced and the curve corrected with a cheap compass.
A 1" line is drawn for reference.
A photo is taken and dropped into Corel Draw.
A 1" square was drawn in Corel and the picture sized to match the 1" line.
A full circle was drawn to match the arc in the cone template.
The Semroc instruction drawing was dropped into Corel. This was also sized.
Horizontal lines are set at each line intersection.
More arcs are added. The pitch control and jettison motors are drawn.
The unneeded lines are removed.
This will be an interesting decal to position so I'll print more than I'll need in a few slightly different sizes.
The dashed line separates the upper from the lower wraps. The long lines in the middle run down the motor tube.
Build time this post: 1 hour, 30 minutes

The devil is in the details... Nice work-around, even though this has been the most time consuming operation of the build series.
