Attached is the best I could get.

Thank you! Dang—that one looks like gold aquarium gravel.

Does anyone have an actual size pattern of the Dark Star fin? The patterns I have seem to be either too small, too large, or WAY too large.

Thanks! VR, Jeff

Make sure that your printer is set to 300dpi. It should look something like the attachment.

OK, I think I have it sized correctly now. I have a leading edge of 5.25" long. Is that correct?

Not at home so I can't print it out and measure it. But according to the graphics program I am using, at 300 dpi the leading edge is just over 5-inches (5.1) in length. FYI - The 300 dpi is embedded in the TIF meta data.

Hope that helps.
