What size is the basic shield?

Post by LEGOFREAK »

Hi All -
In the past I have made some stickers for my shields, mostly ones that were from garage sales that were all scratched up, recently for the ones from count dookus speeder set.
What I have found is that I can create a large windows paint file (.bmp) and edit it. Then when it looks good, I convert it to a .gif file, and insert it into a word document. Then I can resize it dowb and it loses it's "bumpiness" if you know what I mean.
I am without a digital camera, so I cannot show you what the end results have been, but I am very satisfied.
The problem is to just get a specific size for the shield, torso, and flag (square thing with the clips on it) so I can have all three match, without having to print and resize, print and resize.
Any suggestions would be so appreciated, that I will name my firstborn after you. Course it might confuse him to suddenly change his name and all, but what the heck - it's lego we're talking about here! :lol:
