Bob, I have one 'sanity check' question that I need your feedback on. Historically I like to do a large line drawing, in this case I'm thinking on an 11x17 sheet (Size B paper). Then if the drawing is reduced (sometimes clients shrink it down to fit the cap on top of a pen), the lines are crisper. I usually 'check the design' & reduce the drawing to make sure it still shows all lines when reduced. It's easier to reduce and get cleaner resolution in a smaller size than to draw smaller and when enlarged, minute flaws can show up. So what size are you thinking on the shirts? If it would be reduced to a size that fits on a pocket then I'm ok. If it would be a large print on the back of a shirt (8x10?, 11x14?), the original should larger than I was thinking. I just need to gear my mind to what you're thinking-no problem. As example, I scaled the small mascot decals off the youngest boy's football helmet and made them huge to be put on the back of a 5T stakebed truck for a Homecoming Celebration (he still has those color drawings). So the initial size should be something that 'works' well when reproduced for MSOG. If I need to go even larger than a drawing on a 11x17 sheet, I should know now. I have larger paper here, just need to know what your intention & approach is. And what artwork did you use to get quotes for?? Just line drawings or ..........

Gordon The mast for the 15 is 19' 6 inches. Appreciate your work on this.
Give me a call on Friday if you can (949) 489-8227
I've got some quotes coming..
Thanks Bob

Craig, The link worked, Thanks.
It looks feasible, except here too I'll need to know the exact length of the mast (21 feet?) so I get the proportions right. I don't see that measurement on the M17 pages, yet. I'll also look at photos of the M17 to make sure the sails and rigging are drawn correctly (no gaff rigs, right?). It'll just take a little longer than the other photo with everything shown already. I'm going to check on my light table again to see if I can speed up the process (I'm allowed to be a little lazy).
After looking more at the M15, it 'looks like' the mast is about 19 feet long. Can anyone on the list confirm that? (Bob Eeg, or Jerry can jump in here if they have a moment).
As for your other email, I can scan in the drawing after I've puttered a while. fyi- While I was going to Art School, we were 'required' to do a drawing a day and this sounds like a good motivating reason to get back to practicing, even if the drawings don't go on a shirt.
Talk to you later, Gordon

Gordon,
Would you be able to take the outline at this link (just left-click on it
once to go to the pic):
http://www.msog.org/models/m17/Ogpg3.m17.cfm
And turn it into something resembling an M17 lines drawing?
Thanks,
Craig

I think that Steve's Wife might be the best for helping us with her
computer
Graphics & design skills,
However, if someone has photos or sketchy line drawings (including Bob or Jerry), where I might help make them better with pen & Ink, for the line drawings, I'd be glad to find the time to help 'polish' a line drawing (or two). I might even be able to 'draw in' (or copy paste) the various line drawings (for all the sizes) onto one sheet of paper. I have various pads
of
drawing paper and at least a few 'scribble' tools here to work with
already.
It may not be right away (we're doing a house remodel), but I do enjoy drawing. fyi,
Gordon Coba'

How about a series of line drawings starting with the dink and up through the M23, like in a parade. I got the following M-15 from the MSOG website.
