There are a ton of words I could use, but they all boil down to "WOW!"

Wonderful job, and thanks for sharing the photos.

Great job Wayne! Looks beautiful. Did you print it or buy the printed version? The black looks very black. Curious if you printed it, what type of printer do you have? Again, great work.

Thanks:D

I always print myself.
I have a Epson Stylus DX4400.
It uses 'DURABrite Ultra Ink' which produces the best colour in a printer I have used so far.
I also use this Cardstock,A4 160gsm color copy which has a semi gloss sheen to the paper which seems to enhance the colour aswell.

I have an Epson Stylus 1400 and I'm not very impressed with the Claria ink it uses - at least not on card stock. So you use laserjet paper with an inkjet printer? Interesting. I wonder if that helps with the color reproduction? Anyway, great job on the X-15!

I made the mistake of running out of cardstock and went to my local store,only looked at 160gsm and purchased it...
Only after returning home did I realise it was for Laserjet printing only!!
But I thought I would give it a try:D
I have used it ever since. I did find standard cardstock seemed to absorb a lot of the colour giving a dull apperance but the gloss sheen to this laserprinter cardstock does enhance the colour.
You could tell the difference when the two were placed together.
I have had no problems with colour fade and I can use the Laserjet card straight away after printing

Its a lovely kit, i will give it another shot at some point but I will have it in flight mode...It just seems more of an X-15 when it is airborne...

Nice work Wayne
