My guess is that I can still guess, but not proclaim it... I guess

Nurse said I'll be fine once the medication kicks in. No more hallucinations of new Koolwheelz models for me.

I have had several PDFs from other designers that would not print to my Canon printer at all or incorrectly. I open them in an image program like Photoshop and then they would print. Never have figured out why some files do that.

Sometimes I am guilty of not printing and checking the final PDFs.
Since I print from the working Coreldraw files, I usually never print the final PDF versions.

Anyway, I just opened the final PDF to look see...and it looks okay.
So, I grabbed some cheap regular weight paper and ran it through the printer.

As you can see in the photo below, it printed fine.

Granted, its a low quality print...
printed on thin regular copy paper, and printed at lowest quality setting so as not to waste ink and time
...but its still all there.

So...this is a problem at your end Mike.
Try a different setting...like Fine, High Quality, Vivid color, etc...

What printer do you use, Mike?

It happened to me printing other templates.
The templates had images that reached the edge of the paper but the printer left a 5 mm margin all around the paper where it didn't print.
Try reducing the printing scale at 96% or adjusting margins, etc.
It depends on the settings of the software you are using to open the pdfs and the configuration of the printer.

Re: the Sentinel model...I just noticed that I did not add any note (on the model sheet)
about using the "optional hood detail" part.

I'm guessing its intended to represent an air intake for the engine.
Maybe like an air filter housing or something.

You can, for more 3D detail, cut out the circular thing in the hood.
Make sure to cut right to the edge of the black circle.

Then, cut out the extra circle thingy (or use the one you cut out of the hood)
and glue it on top of the larger black/gray disc thingy.

You can layer the circle thingy as much as you want
if you want it to stick up higher than the Hood.

Then cut out the whole thing and mount it...from underneath...at the hood opening.
