New Lozenge fabric
I have been looking for away to apply a lozenge pattern to cotton fabric for sometime now. I have been able to apply thelozenge patternto coverings like Solartex for quite awhile, but it had its problems as well.
I am starting this thread to see if there would be any interest in 1/4 scale and smaller lozenge fabric. I have no idea what the cost would be at this time, but it is safe to say it will be a good bit more than a roll of iron on fabric. It will also need to be applied with a dope type finish.
I think I have finally found away to get the lozenge pattern on to cotton fabrics. Mind you, I am still in the testing and development stages- it will be many, many months before I wil be able to offer tis fabric to modellers.
I have been testing 100% cotton fabrics, both plain cotton and muslin. Muslin is a 100% cotton but it is made and finished differently. So far I much prefer the plain cotton over the muslin, but I think the muslin will shrink better.
Here are some photos of my results so far. I have applied the cotton lozenge fabric to my 1/4 D.Va rudder whch is made using aluminum and brass tubing.
