Hello Campers, I just whipped up this title plate in Paint Shop Pro, what do you think?

I think I have A LOT of practice to do...
It looks really good - but I have a concern about how it will look when actual size? Shrinking the camo in the letters may not yield good results.
A little nit pick -the "A" is over the screw bevel.

Love the bullet holes!!

Thanks Scott. The Text is actually hovering over the plate, but it does look funny, I will fix it! Just keep plugging away at it, its a great program!

Although I think the camo is neatly done and that it looks funny I think I would make the text just white on a black surface. I think that if you are going to scale it down the text will not be that good readable. Oh and another thing. I don`t know if you made the bulletholes yourself but Make sure the shadows in the holes itself are all the same angle.

Further yeah it is a nice thing you made. I doubt if I would ever put a design like that on my Dio bases but that is more a question of taste.

Thanks for taking the time to comment Robert. I have printed it out, and the text is readable. Good eye on the bullet holes - I will fix these.

John what does it say ??

I definitly think your dio deserves a great looking title plate like this to complement the dio.

Hello John

Your title plate looks realy good to me. But the sentence isn't correct. It should be the following:

"Aber Feldwebel, diese verfluchten russischen Strassen schauen alle gleich aus!"

It translates to: "But sergeant, these dang Russian roads all look similar!"

Thanks Adrian I wil fix it ASAP! quick question, when are double s's replaced with the ß?

Hy John

You can always use the "ß" instead of "ss" (double-s).
I know, the german language isn't easy, but I have also my problems with the english language.

Adrian

Thank Guys! Here it is with all the updates suggested

Good adjustment. I like it

Looks good John, fits very well with your dio.

Cheers

Looks very nice, only one little mistake: you should change it back to "Straßen".
You can`t just use "ss" instead of "ß" it depends on the pronounciation.
(If you write in upper case characters you`ll have to replace "ß" with "SS" since there is no upper case character for "ß"

Ok, now I'm confused. Do the German speaking Swiss and the Germans themselves speak a different German?

Yeah they do :-)

No seriously:

If there is a short vocal followed by a sharp "s" in the spoken language (like in "Kuss" or "Kasse") you write "ss".

If there is a long vocal followed by a sharp "s" in the spoken language (like in "Straße" or "Maß") you write "ß".

You can`t just mix it up! "Strasse" and "Mass" are wrong as well as "Kuß" or Kaße".
The only situation in which "ß" can be replace with "SS" is when you write in upper case characters: "STRASSE" is correct, "STRAßE" doesn`t exist.

Edited:

Oh dude I was joking when i wrote "Yeah they do", but I just read the article and the Swiss people really can write "ss" instead of "ß" whenever they want.
Well you can`t do in German German but you can in Swiss German - strange world :-)

Thanks for clearing that up!
