There are alot of paper specialty stores here in Seattle area,that carry a huge library of very specilaized patterns and textures.
I had picked up some vellum of different wights awhile back.
I wanted to make a really unique lamp for my nephew's dresser. The theme of course as aviation. (wise kids hehehe)
I found a couple planes i wanted to use,that were engineered simply but very cleanly,from Fiddler's Green.
I removed the cooring with a program,becasue as was stated, the ink can be a bit tricky in that volume to get to really ' stick'.
the smaller parts i left alone.
I assembled the planes with the vellum. The connecting tabs had to be cut down to smaller profiles so they werent as visible through the translucency of vellum.
The planes were assembled in a Chase formation (forced perspective..the 109 being scaled down considerably.
They were fed small leds into fuselage from mounting points.
These were controlled from little button to battery supply insdie main base to regular lamp stem.
The shade was a blown up image of battle over ardennes from a time life book printed on vellum.
