Montuhotep Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hi all, I would like to copy (or shamelessly pinch, your call) the following design on my Flesh Tearers' vehicles, specifically up-sizing it to fit a Land Raider hull. Now, ARNE was the talented gentleman who did this and I did remember to save a picture of his Razorback scheme before my jaw hit the floor. Here it is: Now then, the snag is that drawing anything, never mind trying to freehand stuff is next to impossible for me due to many reasons - so can anyone think of an easy template or somesuch I can use to produce this? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimtooth Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Maybe stencil an actual sawblade on some paper so you can bend it around the tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivepointedstar Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'd PM Arne and see what he says to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimtooth Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Does a "blank" exist for the original Rhino/Razorback for download to use for other designs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I think a template is your best shout, then draw the basic shape with a pencil (which you can erase later) and block out the shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonCopy Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Go to your local hardware/DIY store. Find the saw blades. Find one you like, put a piece of paper under it and trace it carefully. Use that tracing to transfer and cut out a couple stencils in card or thick paper. Use those as a trace stencil to mark your model (or simply use it as an airbrush or spray stencil).

Gurth Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 You are all making things needlessly complicated, I'd say … why make a paper template when you could just hold the saw up to the model and either pencil or spray along its edge? Also, when I first looked at the images above, I suffered from this effect: http://www.jyi.org/volumes/volume10/issue4/images/dilkina_1.jpg That is, I saw the red parts, probably because they take up more of the vehicle, and didn't notice that the black bits make a circular saw pattern until I looked at the side picture, where the black is more prominent.

winterdyne Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The only place on a rhino you can use a flat template is the top. Over the exhausts, it won't work. You're best off carefully dotting it out with a pencil by hand I'm afraid, based on a reference shot like the one in the OP. Take yourt time and be careful measuring to make sure it's symmetrical down the centreline of the rhino. A short ruler and a small set square are what you need.

Gurth Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 You would get some overspray, yes, but if you do it right you can probably keep it to a minimum and touch up with a brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
